James Hemings
Elizabeth Hemings lived at the Eppes family's house, which was called Bermuda Hundred, until 1746.  That year, Martha Eppes married John Wayles.  Elizabeth and many other enslaved people went with Martha to Wayles' house as part of her marriage settlement.  A marriage settlement was any property that a married woman could control and her husband couldn't.  In Virginia in the 1700s, many marriage settlements had enslaved people in them.  Technically, the Eppes family owned Elizabeth Hemings.
