Elizabeth Lively [16770]

  General Notes:

William McGhee married Elizabeth Lively in Albemarle County, Virginia in 1750. She was born to Mark Lively and Mary McGhee. Mark is considered the patriarch of the Lively Family in America. She was born in approximately 1732 and lived for 83 years. She, with husband William McGhee resided in Little Nechunk, Virginia for a short time.

Due to the destruction of records in Albemarle County by British Col. Banastre Tarleton in 1781, it is difficult to track some family lines. The records that seem to be missing are those official documents recording events before 1748.

While searching the top of the McGhee line, we discovered that William McGhee had married an Elizabeth Lively (see marjohn999.freeyellow.com) per a sizeable family website for the McGhee surname. After a considerable time and much effort we found Elizabeth in a deed amounting to a title exchange for a life estate from James Monroe. The property involved seems to be a portion of the Mark Lively, Buck Island Creek estate.

Elizabeth married William McGhee [16768] [MRIN: 5603], son of James Mackgehee [16787] and Rebecca Prewitt [16788], in 1750 in Albemarle County, Virginia. (William McGhee [16768] was born about 1730 in Hanover County, Virginia and died about 1815 in Albemarle County, Virginia.)
