32. Elizabeth Revell Corbin³ Ker (John Shepherd², Edward¹)⁽⁴⁰⁷⁾ was born in Accomack Co, VA circa 1798. Elizabeth died before Oct 1826. She evidently had died by this time as her husband William D. Seymour married Miss Anne U. Bayly in Oct 1826.

She married William Digby Seymour Sr. 10 Dec 1821 (lic) in Worcester Co, MD.⁽⁴⁰⁸⁾ They were shown only as William D. Seymour and Elizabeth C. Kerr. No other information was given.

William was born Sep 1800 in Accomack Co, VA.⁽⁴⁰⁹⁾ William⁽⁴¹⁰⁾ was the son of Rev. William B. Seymour and Elizabeth Ker. William died 1855 in Cumberland Co, PA, at 54 years of age.⁽⁴¹¹⁾

Elizabeth was named in her father's will 28 Aug 1806 in Accomack Co, VA.⁽⁴¹²⁾ She was shown as daughter Elizabeth Revell Corbin Ker in the will of John Shepherd Ker. She was given land on Pungoteague, land deeded to me by John C. Wilson called Oak Hall lying in Pocomoke, lands in Somerset County, Maryland deeded to me by Edward Horsey, houses & lots in Onancock purchased of Burwell & others, also £500. She was also given all my plates marked with the initials of the Horsey, Corbin & Ker families after the death of her mother.

William Digby Seymour Sr. and Elizabeth Revell Corbin Ker had the following child:

89 i. William Digby⁴ Seymour Jr.⁽⁴¹³⁾ was born in Accomack Co, VA circa 1823. William was named as an heir of Rev War Vetran 27 Sep 1824 in Accomack Co, VA.⁽⁴¹⁴⁾ It was on this date that John S. Ker's estate settlement was finally recorded. Cash was paid to Thompson Holmes, Extr. of Samuel Downing. Samuel Downing had married John S. Ker's widow Agnes and he died in 1819. The final settlement of John S. Ker's estate was therefore handled by Thompson Holmes, who was shown as the guardian of Ann Downing & William D. Seymour. It is therefore assumed that Ann Downing was Samuel Downing's daughter by John S. Ker's widow Agnes and that William D. Seymour was John S. Ker's grandson by Ker's daughter Elizabeth R.C. Ker, who had married William D. Seymour in Worcester Co, MD in 1821.
