• Notes

  The known lineage of the Virginia branch of the Taliaferro family begins with the Emigrant, Robert Taliaferro, who came to Virginia in 1645. He was a man of prominence; he and his sons holding high state and church offices in the Colony. He owned large tracts of land including one of 6,500 acres, which he patented jointly with Major Lawrence Smith. His children and grand-children were related by blood and marriage to the first families of Virginia. Robert Taliaferro was married to Katherine Debnam Grymes, step-daughter of Rev. Charles Grymes of "Brandon." then of Gloucester, now of Middlesex County. Robert Taliaferro and Major Lawrence Smith, being great friends and intimately associated in business, were drawn still closer together by the intermarriage of their children, John Taliaferro and Sarah Smith. The terms of the treaty at Yorktown were arranged in the Moore House which, at one time, belonged to Major Lawrence Smith, and at this time was owned and occupied by his great-granddaughter, Lucy, the wife of Col. Augustine Moore. Nicholas Taliaferro, the great-great-grandson of Major Lawrence Smith, was present when the treaty was made. This estate is now known as "Temple Farm."
