  • Notes 
    • While various researchers have hypothesized that Elizabeth (unknown) maiden name Taliaferro, Bond or Giles, no known document confirms such a hypothesis. I will only use Taliaferro as "most likely" - unproven.

      Her husband John Parker 1700-1760's will lists his wife as 'Elizabeth' but she was the step-mother to his children. John Parker 1700-1760's 1st wife was Catherine Pearson. See link to 'Origins of John Parker 1700-1760 on the SOURCE tab for the PROOF.
      ------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The Hopewell Township, Washington, PA 1792 'Will' of Thomas McGuire states that his wife's name was Mary Randles and that prior to moving to Hopewell he lived in Hampshire Co., VA. I've only seen records for one Thomas McGuire in Hampshire Co., VA. and his 2nd wife was Elizabeth Parker (*) (died in 1786), the widow of John Parker who died in Nov 1760.

      A 1765 Hampshire Co., VA land indenture (attached in Sources) states that "Thomas McGuire and his wife Elizabeth ( ) Parker, relic of John Parker' transfer land to John Parker's children. Nathaniel, Robert, Aaron, Richard, Elizabeth Nalles, and Catharine Foreman that had belonged to John Parker their father.

      ----------------------------------------------------------------------
      * - Note" IF the estimated birth year for Ellizabeth ( ) Parker, relic of John Parker is correct, then she would have been about 56 years of age when she married Thomas McGuire and thus statistically unlikely to have borne any children during her marriage to Thomas McGuire.
      ----------------------------------------------------------------------

      12 June, 1765--Hampshire Co. Va.--Catherine Y. Foreman signs a deed which partitions the lands of her father John Parker among herself and William Foreman, her mother (widow of John Parker), and her siblings.

      11 May, 1779--Catherine Foreman to John Williamson: 200 acres for 200 pounds on Little Cacapon about 1/2 mile above the Buffalo Lick plus an additional 150 acres on the North Branch Potowmack River from her father, John Parker. Ref; Hampshire Co VA Deed Bk 8, Page 141. (signed 2 deeds in Hampshire county on 11 May 1779 and 14 Nov 1780.) The land was allotted and assigned to William Foreman dec'd then the husband of the said Catherine being part of her share of her dec'd father John Parker by a deed of partition dated 12 June 1765 between the following: Thomas McGuire and his wife, late Elizabeth Parker, relict of said John Parker; Robert Parker, Richard Parker; Nathaniel Parker; Aaron Parker; John Nall and wife Elizabeth and the said William Foreman and wife Catherine. The last eight persons being sons and daughters and the husbands of the daughters.

      12 Sept. 1786
      Hampshire, Virginia Will Book 2, 1780-1794, page 150, will of Elizabeth (unknown) (Parker) McQuire:
      In the name of God, Amen, I Elizabeth McGuire being sick and weak in body but of perfect mind and memory thanks be to the Almighty God, calling to mind the mortality of man &woman kind I do make and ordain this to be my last will and testament revoking and annuling all other wills and testaments of any kind what so ever what real or personal estates I leave in the following manner to wit: after my funeral charges and my debts being paid first I leave to my loving step-son William McGuire that tract or parcel of land which was the estate of John Parker which he has now in possession. I do give & bequeath to the said William McGuire that tract or parcel of land containing one hundred thirteen acres to him his heirs or assigns to which I acknowledge this to be my last will and testament as witness my hand here this 21st day of May, 1771.
