The children of Robert and Katherine (Debnam) Taliaferro were: (1) Robert Taliaferro, Jr., died 1688, married Sarah Catlett, daughter of Colonel John Catlett, Sr., and his wife Elizabeth (Underwood) Taylor Slaughter, later Butler (see later, Catlett Excursus), and lived at ?Church Neck,? Essex County; (2) Francis Taliaferro, died 1710, married Elizabeth Catlett, sister of Sarah Catlett (see Catlett Excursus), and lived first at the head of Ware River in Gloucester County, and later at ?Taliaferro?s Mount,? Essex County; (3) Colonel John Taliaferro, known as ?The Ranger? for his military service to Virginia, died 1719, member of the House of Burgesses for Essex County in 1699, married his first cousin Sarah Smith, daughter of Colonel Lawrence and Mary (Debnam) Smith (see under 5, below; two of Colonel John Taliaferro?s great-grand-daughters, both named Mildred Thornton and first cousins to one another, married Colonel Samuel Washington and Charles Washington, both full brothers of President George Washington); (4) Richard Taliaferro, died 1715, married Sarah Wingfield and died in Richmond County (he lived out of Virginia from 1688 to 1704, during which time he was a ship captain and owner and was Chief Judge and member of the Royal Council of the Bahaman Islands, 1699-1703, during the Bahamian governorship of his step-father Colonel Cadwallader Jones; Richard was in Newport, Rhode Island, in 1704, and returned late that year to Virginia, King George County [Henry G. Taliaferro, ?John Taliaferro of the Mount,? under Sources]); (5) Katherine Taliaferro, died c.1699, married as his first wife, Colonel John Battaile I, from whom all the Virginia Battailes descend (member of the House of Burgesses, 1693 and 1696-97), a native of Essex, England, who lived in Essex County, Virginia, and who married second, Katherine Taliaferro?s first cousin Elizabeth Smith (see under 5, below); (6) Charles Taliaferro, died 1735, married Mary Carter, and lived in Essex/Caroline County (the writer has been unable to identify this Mary Carter, but others have assumed that she was related to the ?Corotoman? Carters of the Northern Neck). Katherine (Debnam) Taliaferro and her second husband, Colonel Cadwallader Jones, evidently had only one child, a daughter, Frances Jones, who married Robert Slaughter (died 1726) of Essex County.
