Elizabeth was the daughter of John and Tabitha Cocke Wayles. She married Francis Eppes VI about 1769, in Charles City County, Virginia, and they lived at her father's home, "The Forest," in Charles City County until 1780 when they moved to Eppington Plantation where she died.
Their shared gravestone has the earliest dates in the cemetery, even though the stone was not placed until 1844. It is one of the three flat markers called ledger stones on the front row.
At her death "Eppington" passed to the surviving children, each of whom, for 500 pounds each, joined in conveying the estate to Archibald Thweatt.
