He was married to Elizabeth Ring not Elizabeth Taylor, I'm attaching the correct wife to him. The estate of Ring was inherited into the Wormeley family through Elizabeth Ring. http://irma.nps.gov/DataStore/DownloadFile/461983 and http://scholarworks.wm.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=4104&context=etd
