Elizabeth Creecy married Joseph Creecy sometime prior to 1766. The Creecys were wealthy plantation owners in Chowan County, North Carolina and Joseph had a close relationship with John Baptist Beasley and Charles Pettigrew, two men whose spouses, along with Elizabeth Creecy, signed a nonimportation agreement in 1774 that later became known as the Edenton Tea Party Resolves. Elizabeth died sometime after Joseph Creecy wrote his will in 1784. Genealogical records suggest that Elizabeth's maiden name was Gregory, but no marriage records have been located.
