NOTE*: It is not known which children belong to which wife. We know that Jane Irby was the first wife and had at least one child, Wilmouth. We know, according to Taliaferro's will, that Elizabeth was his wife at the time of his death. It is not known if Jane and Elizabeth were his only wives. More research will have to be done to sort this out. According to Billie Shelton, ". From the records that I have gathered it appears that Taliaferro married Jane Irby on 4-21-1798 in Pittsylvania County, Va. They had a daughter Wilmouth born ca1799 who died before 1834. There was possibly a son born also to Jane. Information that I have received but not proven is that he married a second time in Georgia to person unknown and this was the Mother of his other children. His third marriage was to Elizabeth ? who was his wife when he died ca 1834 in Blount County, Alabama. There was no issue from that marriage."
