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.
