He died in Orange in King & Queen County, which later became Orange County. James Taylor II married Martha Thompson on February 23, 1699 in Virginia. James II was granted 13,000 acres of land in what became Orange County and he built Bloomsbury about 1722. He divided his vast holdings among his children. George received Midland (now Yatton), James III got Bloomsbury, Erasmus got Greenfield and Zachary got Meadow Farm. It is believed that James II and his wife, Martha, were buried at Bloomsbury in the Taylor-Quarles Cemetery on the property, since this was their original homestead. The photo of the cemetery shows the Taylor section in the back with no markers within the brick walls. The Quarles family have the 4 existing markers in the front section by the gate. Additionally, James II and Martha are not buried at Meadow Farm; this cemetery has been fully photographed and everyone has been accounted for with a grave marker or plaque. James and Martha had 12 children, 7 of which are linked to them on their memorials. The other 5 are: Tabitha Taylor 1713-1794, who married Thomas Wilde in 1756 Hannah Taylor 1718-1762, who married Nicholas Batille/Battaile Mildred Taylor 1724-1790, who married Richard Thomas in 1753 Charles Taylor circa 1726-1785, who married Sarah Barbary Frank Taylor (no dates), who married Ann Craddock Sources: Brochure on the Taylor Plantations in Orange County, Virginia From Log Cabins to the White House, A History of the Taylor Family 1985 Pendleton-Taylor Family Chart Colonial Families of USA by Rhoades 1920/1966 History of St. Mark's Parish, Culpeper County, VA. 1877 Genealogy of the Page Family in VA. by Page, 1893 Historical Southern Families, Volume 17 Descendants of James Taylor by John Taylor 1958 Albemarle County Will Records Marriages of Virginia Residents 1608-1800 by Wulfeck, Vol. 7, page 24
