  He was married to Katherine Debnam (Dedman) (aka Sarah Grymes) about 1655 in
  Hampton Parish, York Co., VA. Katherine Debnam (Dedman) (aka Sarah Grymes) was
  born in 1626 in Igtham, Kent Co., England. She died about 1667 in Gloucester
  County, VA. Robert Taliaferro (The Immigrant) and Katherine Debnam (Dedman)
  (aka Sarah Grymes). Sarah's mother remarried after the death of her father and
  Sarah was adopted by Rev. Charles Grymes.  She is also show as Katherine,
  which was also her mother's name.
  Information from an early researcher found in GS film #1316359, Item 6.
  She was married to Robert TALIAFERRO about 1653 in , , VA..
  From BATHOLOMEW TALIAFERRO, SOME DESCENDANTS, BY JANE THOMAS ROWLAND, RR BOKS,
  AUGUSTA, GA, 1997.
  The early researchers believed that Katherine, who married Robert Taliaferro,
  was a daughter of the Rev. Charles Grymes, immigrant. Later research revealed
  that Rev. Grymes married Katherine's mother, a widow. Katherine's mother was
  also named "Katherine".
  An early researcher published the fact that Rev. Grymes married the widow of
  Henry Dedman. Katherine, who married Robert Taliaferro, was actually a
  step-daughter of Rev. Charles Grymes.
  The name "Sarah" came about, some recent researchers believe, because Robert,
  the immigrant, was confused with either his son or grandson, also named
  Robert, who married a Sarah (I don't have my material in front of me, but I
  think this Sarah was a Catlett). Earlier researchers didn't have the resources
  we have now, and several errors were made.
  Now, some researchers believe that Katherine, who married Robert Taliaferro,
  was a daughter of William Debnam and not Henry Dedman. And, as above, she was
  a step-daughter of Rev. Charles Grymes who married the widow, Katherine Debnam.
