Francis TALIAFERRO, the son of Bartholomew TALIAFERRO and wife Joane LANE (Lanier) was born January 17th,1589/90 and baptized at the age of eight days on January 25th at St. Olave's, Hart St, London.

He married Bennett HAIE (or Hale) by license February 3, 1613/14 at St. Savior's, Southwark, County Surrey. After the death of his first wife, Bennet Haie (sometime between 1627 & 1647) he married a second time to a woman by the given name of Miriam. Francis and his 2nd wife Miriam died within a week of each other.

He was buried August 19,1647 at Stepney, County Middlesex, where she'd been buried on August 16th. In his will Francis mentioned two of his children by his 1st wife Bennett HAIE. The daughter was Anne who wasn't married at his death. In an unusual move, he named her the executrix of his will. Since he had a living son, Robert, this wasn't customary @ the time. It's probable that his action is best explained by his son Roberts ("The Immigrant") having previously emigrated to the colony of Virginia.
