Biography
When Elizabeth Wyllys Welles was born in 1591 in England, her father, Sir, was 21, and her mother was 18. Elizabeth was Capt. William A. Powell's second marriage. They married at some point before the birth of their first child from their union in about 1611. She had three sons and two daughters with William A Powell between 1611 and 1626. She died in 1635 in Isle of Wight, Virginia, at the age of 44.
Name
- Elizabeth /Wells/[1]
Research Notes
From information outlined at Rootsweb discussion of William Powell (1677-1723) it seems unlikely that Elizabeth Wyllys (Willis) daughter of Richard Wyllys and Hester Chambers is the one that married Captain William Powell, the Virginia Colonist. More sources needed to confirm this. From information to date, it appears that this profile represents two different people. See also information on profile of Richard Wyllys.

There's no way she was someone named Walter's mother. Capt. William Powell didn't have a son named Walter. Furthermore, Walter Powell was not born in Virginia, but further north. He also didn't come to Virginia until a group of colonists local to him migrated to Virginia. He was not William Powell's son.
