Elizabeth Littlebury Worsham Epes Birth: 22 Oct 1620, Colchester Borough, Essex, England Death: Sep 1678 (aged 57), Henrico Co., Virginia Parents Robert Littlebury 1591?1649 Jane Marye Boughton Littlebury 1592?1678 Spouses Francis Epes II 1627?1678 (m. 1661) William Worsham 1619?1661 Siblings Robert Littlebury Jr 1622?1689 Children Elizabeth Worsham Kennon, 1651?1736 John Worsham Sr., 1655?1729 Charles Worsham, 1658?1712 Mary Worsham Royall, 1658 ? unknown William Epes, 1662?1710 Littleberry Epes, 1663?1743 Mary Eppes Hardiman Hardyman, 1664?1726 Elizabeth (LITTLEBURY) Worsham Epes, married first William Worsham, bearing him four (4) children: John Worsham, Elizabeth Worsham (wife of Richard Kennon), Mary Worsham and Charles Worsham. As a widow in 1661 she married Col. Francis Epes. With Francis Epes she had three (3) children: William Epes, Littlebury Epes, and Mary Epes. Elizabeth made two wills to provide for her children by both marriages: 1) Dated 28 August 1678 provided for her children by William Worsham 2) Dated 23 September 1678 provided for her children by Francis Epes Please note: Elizabeth had two daughters named "Mary"; Mary Worsham and Mary Epes She appointed her son-in-law Richard Kennon and stepson Francis Epes (son of Col. Francis Epes by his first marriage) as executors of the wills. Both wills were proved on 1 October 1678 *Henrico Co. Order Book, 1678-93, pp. 59-60. Please note there have been arguments presented about Elizabeth's maiden name not being Littlebury. However, using: 1. Adventurers of Purse and Person, Virginia, 1607-1624/5; Page 260 Order of First Families of Virginia, 1607-1624/5, Dietz Press, Richmond, Virginia, 1987 2. Lewis of Warner Hall: The History of a Family, Merrow Egerton Sorley, Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc, Baltimore, Maryland, 1935, Eppes Family pages 806-810; see 809 3. The Compendium of American Genealogy, Vol. VII, Page 580 4. US and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900; Record of marriage for William WORSHAM and Elizabeth LITTLEBERRY The argument could be valid about the maiden name, but using the preponderance of evidence logic, I am staying with Littlebury until an equal amount of evidence disproves it.
