"On September 8, 1669 Elizabeth Taylor Horton received her
one-third of the estate of Tobias Horton, Sr. with one-third to
Will Nash, Sr. long since deceased, and to his youngest son,
also deceased "and so ye estate to his Mother". The other two
parts went to his surviving brothers to be equally divided
between them. Thomas Nash, one of the sons of Will Nash, being
an orphan, chose John Carter, boatwright, guardian. William Nash
is mentioned in court record March 8, 1675 as only brother and
heir of Thomas. He chose Will Edmonds, guardian."

Mother: Ann FRESBY |
There is an interesting story about Elizabeth and the diplomat
and legislator from Pennsylvania, Governeur Morris. Morris was
thrown from his carriage and trampled by his horses, and
suffered a severe leg injury. After his fall, he was carried to
the Plater home where his leg was amputated. With great kindness
and her usual hospitality, Elizabeth nursed Morris back to
health. Her affection and devotion during his convalescence
raised more than a few eyebrows, but it is believed that their
tenderness towards one another was rooted in genuine sincerity
on her part and gratitude on his.
Elizabeth had six children. Her oldest, Rebecca with her large
grey eyes and small yet graceful stature, was so astonishingly
beautiful, she was referred to as "The White Rose of Sotterley"
by her contemporaries. She spent considerable time in her youth
with her grandmother, Ann Rousby Fitzhugh, at Rousby Hall. Head
strong, self-assured and dramatic like her mother and
grandmother, Rebecca fell in love with the distinguished
revolutionary war general, Uriah Forrest. Her mother was against
the marriage, thinking Forrest unworthy, yet when Rebecca
declared she would never marry and would live waiting for death;
Elizabeth had them married immediately, without ceremony.
Elizabeth had four sons, George IV, who inherited Sotterley upon
the death of his parents, John Rousby Plater, Thomas Plater, and
Edward who died in infancy. Elizabeth's youngest child and
second daughter, Ann, was tall and stately like her mother,
reserved and elegant. Ann married Philip Barton Key, the uncle
of Francis Scott Key, author of America's national anthem, "The
Star Spangled Banner". It is Ann who is said to have etched the
name "Key" into Sotterley's drawing room window, upon receiving
her diamond ring from her future husband.
In addition to raising five children, and managing a busy
plantation household which included more than forty slaves,
Elizabeth traveled with her husband in his various political
activities, and entertained distinguished callers to the Plater
home, including their friend George Washington."
