Elizabeth Wildey was born before 1662 in Northumberland County to William Wildey and Jane. Her father was granted a patent for 1,450 acres of land in Northumberland on the north side of the Great Wicomico in 1665.

Elizabeth married Henry Fleet, son of Henry Fleet and Sarah about 1682 in Northumberland County. They had six children. Henry's father was an immigrant and adventurer whose truce with the Indians after the 1644 massacre open the Northern Neck up to English settlement.

Henry inherited many of this father's vast land holdings and was active in county affairs. He was listed as a justice in Lancaster County in 1695, sheriff in 1702 and also a captain of the county militia.

Henry wrote his will on January 31st, 1729 and it was proven May 9th, 1733. He did not mention Elizabeth by name in the will, " I give to my loving wife for life the plantation whereupon I now live with as much land as she shall have occasion for, also the use and profits of three negroes called Jack, Bess and Sampson, and after her decease I give the said negroes to my daughter, Elizabeth CURRELL, and her heirs."

When her son, Henry Fleet III wrote his will in the fall of 1735 he named his mother, indicating that she was still living. No further records are known for Elizabeth.
