This is not my direct line.I have gathered a lot of information of the Gleaves family, including collateral lines. I have not attempted to verify much of the collateral line information.
My information is that Elizabeth Glavis is Elizabeth Gleaves.She married Arthur Turner.I show her dying before 1811 in Davidson Co., TN.I show only one child named Rachel (almost certainly an incomplete list).
Elizabeth's parents were Michael Gleaves, Sr. (circa 1754-1811) and Rachel __?__.Michael Gleaves, Sr., died testate in Davidson Co., TN.His will was written on 13 February 1811 and mentions his wife and his children then living. His executors were Ezekial B. McCoy, John Davis and William Gleaves.The witnesses were William P. Robinson and Jenny Robinson.
Michael Gleaves, Sr. was the son of Matthew Gleaves, Sr., who died intestate in Augusta Co., VA in 1760.He is said to have been the immigrant who came from Willingham, Cambridgeshire, England.
