After his death Elizabeth married Thomas Parker, who was living with Thomas Baugh at the West and Sherley Hundred. Thomas was thought to be the son of John Baugh, and nephew of William Baugh, Sr.  Thomas Baugh emigrated from Bristol, England on the "Supply" which arrived in Virginia on 29 Feb. 1621. By January 1625 he had relocated to the "College Lands." The 1624 muster recorded Thomas Parker there as well, under Thomas Osborne's command. Thomas Parker arrived in Virginia on the "Neptune" in 1618, along with William Farrar. After his marriage to Elizabeth, he died prior to July 1836.

Elizabeth was now a wealthy widow, and in July 1636 she patented 500 acres in Henrico between the Curles and Varina, part of a total of 950 acres patented in August 1637 from headrights due to transportations of 13 servants for Sharpe. This land was in Varina, east of Henricus.
