Married to John Calvert in 1711. Some say that she was the daughter of Benjamin Harrison III. If this is correct, Elzabeth's brother, Benjamin IV, was the father of Benjamin V who was Governor of VA, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and the father of President William Henry Harrison (grandfather of President Benjamin Harrison. Do not think this has been proved 100%.
Elizabeth married John (Captain Jack) Murphrey on an unknown date.
