Biography

Elisabeth was born on 26 Jul 1686.^[1] She is the daughter of William Tayloe and Ann Corbin. She is not the wife of John Wormley (died 1726)

Research Notes

• Although some sites show that this Elizabeth was married to John Wormley (died 1726) that is incorrect, his wife was Elizabeth Ring, the daughter of Joseph Ring (c1641-1703) and Sarah Berkley (1667-1740) Their son John was married to an Ann Taylor, so that could be where the mistake came from.

• "John Wormeley married the prominent heiress Elizabeth Ring of Ringfield Plantation in York County." John also had to oversee "his wife's extensive properties at Ringfield and Ring's Quarter in King and Queen County."^[2][3]
