General Notes
- Robert TALIAFERRO was baptized November 19, 1626, at Stepney, County Middlesiz, England, at the age of eight days. He was the son of Francis TALIAFERRO and wife Bennett HAIE. About 1653, he married Katherine DEADMAN, the daughter of Henry (?) DEADMAN/DEDMAN and Katherine ____ DEADMAN/DEDMAN GRYMES. Katherine DEADMAN, the wife of Robert TALIAFERRO, died after November 20, 1672. Robert died in or before 1677, probably in Gloucester County, Virginia.[NOTE]
  
  He settled in York County, Virginia, as early as 1647 and held lands in Gloucester County in 1655. Robert TALIAFERRO, the Immigrant, is normally described in the literature by that designation, probably to distinguish him from his son Robert. He and all his sons were protestants, and in the York County records, where the name first appears about 1645, the spelling is sometimes "Toliver," showing that the pronunciation was then very much as it is now.
