    1. Behethland Taliaferro of Nelson Co VA
    2. Lilly Martin
    3. Hello, This is my first posting here on this mailing list of my ancestry of Behethland Taliaferro, of Nelson Co VA. I have been given 2 conflicting ancestral lines for her, so I will list each of the 2 reports, and ask for some advice or guidance as to which version is correct. #1. Behethland Taliaferro b. 5-20-1738 Caroline Co., VA., she married James Stevens, she died 4-4-1828 Nelson Co VA. She is the daughter of Capt. Richard Taliaferro b. about 1703, s/o John, s/o Robert the Immigrant. #2. Behethland Taiaferro b. 5-20-1738 Caroline Co VA, d/o Capt. Richard Taliaferro, s/o Zachariah, s/o Francis, s/o Robert the Immigrant. Which of these 2 versions is correct? Capt. Richard Taliaferro was married to Rose Berryman. I have gathered alot of Taliaferro genealogy from various sources, but I have never attempted to verify the correct pedigree for my ancestor Behethland Taliaferro. Nelson Co VA is next door to Amherst Co VA, and Capt. Richard Taliaferro is said to have owned 10,000 acres of land at Amherst Co VA. My descendancy is as follows: I am Lilly, d/o Joe, s/o Etta, d/o Susie Jane Campbell, d/o Nancy Jane Campbell of Temperance, Amherst Co VA,. d/o Behethland Thompson of Temperance , Amherst Co VA, d/o James Thompson III, of Temperance , Amherst Co VA, s/o Elizabeth Stevens, d/o Behethland Taliaferro of Nelson Co VA, d/o Capt. Richard Taliferro and Rose Berryman, of Amherst Co VA. All help and guidance is appreciated. Best regards, Lilly Martin
