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.
