Greetings: I need more information about this WHARTON - TALIAFERRO Connection. I have an old genealogy which states that a Nancy Taliaferro (daughter of Robert Taliaferro), was married twice, first to Thomas Livingston and had three sons: Robert, Thomas, and James LIVINGSTON. After Thomas Livingston died, Nancy Taliaferro Livingston married Valentine Long WHARTON, and their children were: Lucy, William, Sally, Benjamin, Nancy [md Robert Sanders], and Fanny Wharton [md. Peter Gatewood]. His name is sometimes given as "Long Wharton" and I believe he is the same Valentine Long Wharton who died in 1799 in Scott County, Kentucky. He may have been about 69 years old at the time. In 1796 some of Nancy's Livingston offspring gave their power of attorney to a Benjamin Wharton when they moved to Edgefield County, S.C., and a A July 6, 1796 power of attorney shows a Benjamin Wharton was the son of "V. Long Wharton." There is also a deed transaction of Robert Taliaferro and his wife Jane, of Caroline County, to Long Wharton, of County afsd, 315 acres, Sept. 21, 1772. Witnessed by James Livingston. And an October 5, 1772 conveyance witnessed by James Livingston, giving Long Wharton's wife's name as Ann (which is often the same name as Nancy). I would like more data on this family to confirm exactly who they were, and I would especially like to know about Nancy Taliaferro's father, said to be Robert Taliaferro, and who Robert Taliaferro's siblings and children were. All I know about him is that he was supposed to have a son named Samuel Taliaferro, and another daughter who married a man named BOWLER.
