I can find NO Documentation to show when, where, Elizabeth and Lawrence Married, or had 4 Children together!

Where are the Sources to back up Elizabeth as being the 1st Wife and Mother of 4 of Lawrence Stephens Children? Terry (Jordan) Springer

The attribution (not a source) comes from

She married Lawrence Stephens in 1740 in Virginia. They had 4 children . She died as a young mother in 1749, at the age of 27.
Children: Mary Stephens 1742-1838, Sarah 1745-1839, Peter Elisha 1746-1810 and John Stephens 1752-1819.

However, I am reverting the name back to the curated value: The first wife of Lawrence Stephens is unknown.
