One source believes that Elizabeth LLOYD/LOYD was a daughter of George LOYD and his wife Joanna GREGSON. George LOYD operated the Inn which was adjacent to the early courthouse in Essex Co., VA. When he died in 1712, he was survived by his wife Joanna, and several daughters and one son, Samuel. Samuel moved to the same area of King & Queen Co. as Francis BROWNING. His mother, Joanna (sister of Thomas GREGSON, a merchant of Bristol, Eng.) continued operation of the Inn after the death of husband George. Samuel is not found in early Essex Co. records except as an heir of his father and his under, Thomas GREGSON. In September 1723, Spotsylvania records show the sale of Samuel LOYD's land. When he returned to Essex Co., he took up land near Peumansend Swamp - near where Francis BROWNING owned land. Other sources believe Elizabeth to be daughter of Sampson LLOYD and Elizabeth GOOD. This line goes back to King Henry VIII of England and according to Burke's "Landed Gentry", Sampson had four daughters by Elizabeth GOOD. They aren't named. Burke's "History of Commoners of GB & Ireland..." names the four girls and says Elizabeth LLOYD was born 08 January 1687 and died 30 March 1697 (age 10). If this is correct, this Elizabeth LLOYD is not the one who married Francis BROWNING. Still other sources say the wife of Francis BROWNING was Elizabeth Carter LLOYD. Elizabeth Carter LLOYD was the widow of Col. John CARTER, married John LLOYD, s/o Col. Wm. LLOYD. Elizabeth CARTER LLOYD was administratrix of her late husband's estate and after her death her husband John LLOYD took over responsibilites. Some say that John and Elizabeth CARTER LLOYD had a daughter, Elizabeth LLOYD, who married Francis BROWNING. (The above info sent to me by Dottie Elliott) Karen King Scales
