Biography

Elizabeth was born in 1690. She is the daughter of Richard Gilliam.

It has been traditionally said that Elizabeth Gilliam married Alexander Toney on 9 Apr 1687 in St. Peter's Parish. This is impossible as the Elizabeth Gilliam most often cited was born in 1690. There is no known Parish Register record that supports the above marriage date.

All that is known is that Alexander Toney had a wife per the Parish Register that was named Elizabeth.

Gilliam-2849 and Gilliam-16 appear to represent the same person because: Same parents, same place

No evidence that Benjamin and Hannah (Savage) Gillam had a daughter named Elizabeth. Recorded children are Hannah, Ann, Faith, Dyonisia, Benjamin, Thomas and Mary, all born in Boston between 1662 and 1682 (Savage has a Martha baptized 7 Jan. 1672 at the same time as Hannah and Faith?). No Elizabeth is mentioned in Benjamin's will or probate record:

Boston ss. The seventeenth june 1686 Then appeared Mrs Hannah Silvester late Gillam before The Honorable Joseph Dudley Esqr Presidt. of his majestys Territory and Dominion of New England and Craved the Probate of Capt: Benjamin Gillams Will to which she is nominated sole Executrix and it was allowed and Ordered to be Entred and further upon the offer of severall Evidences to prove a Legacy to the two Children of Mr. Samuel Philips who married Hannah the Daughter of sd Capt. Benja Gillam of fifty Pounds Mr. Matthew Middleton who married Faith the other Daughter of sd Gillam the third and Last named Mary Infant and Ward to the sd Hannah Silvester being Represented by her mother who are the Only Legatarys in the Will before mentioned did give their Express consent that the sd Legacy of fifty Pounds be Payd unto the sd Two Daughters of Samuel and Hannah Philips or the Survivr upon the Division set down in the Device of this Will now on file

Who are her parents, then? I think we should do more research.

That I do not know. A May who posted above that the Elizabeth who married Alexander Toney was born in New Kent County, Virginia, may have more info.

I'm fairly confident, though, that she was not daughter of Benjamin and Hannah (Savage), and should be disconnected.

[ETA: I'll be digging deeper into the Gillams of Boston soon. If I find anything that might clear any of this up, I shall post it.]

Patrick is correct--Hannah did not have a child named Elizabeth. I messaged Luke, the keeper of this page, just now and asked him to de-link this Elizabeth who married into the Toney family from the Hannah Savage related to Anne Hutchinson. As much as I'd love to be related to Anne Hutchinson, this Elizabeth is simply not related to her.

Is there a birth record that show's Benjamin and Hannah as Elizabeth's parents? All their other children were born in Boston but Elizabeth shows Virginia as birth state.

Gilliam-16 and Gilliam-1378 appear to represent the same person because: I erroneously created the higher-numbered profile as the spouse of an erroneously created Alex Toney (who is now merged, with two Gilliam spouses that likewise need merging).

Gilliam-16 and Gilliam-1378 do not represent the same person because: According to the notes attached herein,

"Apparently there was more than one Elizabeth Gilliam. It is likely that they were related. One born in New Kent County VA, about 1667. |Gilliam-16|. Married to Alexander Toney. Another Elizabeth Gilliam |Gilliam-117|, born about 1654 in Surry County, VA . She married three times to: Francis MabWest.a Bevins and a West."

These two are too disparate until good sourcing is avaiable to deliniate.
