Biography

Elizabeth Stratton's birth is estimated to be between 1685 and 1690 , in Henrico, Virginia, the daughter of Edward Stratton and Martha (Shippey) Stratton.[1]

She married Thomas Chamberlayne[1] on September 22, 1709, in Henrico, Virginia. She was his second wife and mother of two children by him (Elizabeth and Dorothy).

She was the executrix of his will (presented at court December 1719) and, with her next husband Gilbert Fyfe, was sued by her daughter Elizabeth's guardian in September 1724.

Elizabeth died in Henrico, Virginia after 1724.

Research Notes

The find-a -grave memorial death date of Apr 1719 is incorrect.[2] She was executrix of her husband, Thomas Chamberlayne's will on Dec of 1719. Also she and her second husband, Gilbert Fyfe were sued by her daughter Elizabeth's guardian in 1724; therefore her death had to be after 1724.

Elizabeth was my 6th great-grandmother, and I've cleaned the profile, edited the bio, changed her birth and death dates, and added sources for the information. I also added a Note re the incorrect dates on the Find a grave memorial. I have a copy of the "Book of Strattons, Vol I & II and will check for further information.

I will try to do some more research on Elizabeth. The dates don't seem to be right, but I may not be able to find sources. She is a distant cousin of mine. Anyone else more closely related?

Linda,

Elizabeth is my 6th great grandmother. See my comment of July 2019 re the changes I've made to her profile

birth date needs source, as it means she was 11 when she married (the date is from Find a Grave, but no source is given)
