  20. SETH WARD may have immigrated to Virginia from Bassingbourn, Cambridge, England. SETH WARD was the immigrant ancestor of the Ward family of Henrico, later Chesterfield, Amelia, Nottoway, Lunenburg, Charlotte, Lee and other counties in Virginia and also in North Carolina. SETH WARD and CAPTAIN JOHN WARD of England and Henrico, Virginia were probably kinsmen, but certainly they were not sons of the notable BISHOP SETH WARD of England. He may be the grandson of SETH WARD of Abbington, Cambridgeshire, England who died in 1598 and left a will. SETH WARD may be related as son or brother of Ancient Planter and CAPTAIN JOHN WARDE of early Virginia as described in a will found in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, 51 Lewyn, written on February 14th, 1598 by SETH WARD of Abbington, Cambridgeshire, England, yeoman, proved June 20th 1598 by JOHN WARDE. SETH WARD named in his will his wife, ANNIS/ANNE; sons, JOHN WARDE, ENOS WARDE, and THOMAS WARDE; Daughters MARIE WARDE and ANNE JACOB; Grandchildren JOHN WARDE and SETH WARDE, sons of testator's son JOHN WARDE; Brother ROBERT WARD; Sister WILSONNE; Grandchildren ANNE WARD (daughter of JOHN WARDE), MARTHA WARD, ALICE WARD and MARIE WARD. The testator, SETH WARD, owned lands in Litlington and Stephen Norden, Cambridgeshire. He made bequests to JOHN WARDE "the sonne of my said sonne JOHN WARDE tenn pounds of lawfull English monie to be paid unto him at the age of one and twentie yeares; also I give unto SETH WARD, his brother, the somme of tenn pounds of like lawfull English monie to be paide unto him at the age of one and twentie yeares.".

(Cavaliers & Pioneers, Vol 1,) According to Virginia Immigrants 1623-1666, RICHARD WARD was imported into Virginia in the year 1636, by Capt. John Chelsman, Charles River County. Also in 1635 RICHARD WARD was shown to be imported into Virginia by John Cheeseman, Charles River County. (John Chelsman and John Cheeseman are more than likely one and the same man.).

  84. RICHARD WARD has the following deeds recorded in Henrico County as noted in Genealogies of Virginia Families, Volume V, page 367: 1708, March 31: ROBERT THOMPSON, son & heir of ROBERT THOMPSON, late of Henrico, decd to RICHARD WARD of Henrico, 50L sterling, 700 acres in Henrico, N side of Branches Brook, part of 1236 ac granted Robert Thompson (father of Robert Thompson party to these presents) decd by patent dated April 29, 1693. (Henrico Records, Vol 1706-09, p 86). 1717, August 3: RICHARD WARD, Sr. of Henrico Co to SETH WARD of same, 50L curr. 300 acres in parish & county of Henrico, south side James River, being in 2 parcels, viza; all land devised aid RICHARD WARD by his father RICHARD WARD, decd, as by the said father's will dated April 18, 1682. Witnesses: Robt. Blaws, Christopher Branch, Benjamin Ward. (Henrico Records, Vol 1714-18, p 188). 1724, July Court: The last will & testament of RICHARD WARD deceased, was proved July 1724. Richard Ward, Junr executor; JOSEPH WARD & WALTER SCOTT as securities for executor; MARY WARD, widow. (Henrico Records, Vol 1719-24, p 349). The will book for this period is missing. 1724, Dec Court: Petition of MARY WARD, praying that RICHARD WARD, JR. executor of RICHARD WARD decd, ordered to deliver her such part of said RICHARD WARD's estate as belongs to her, & c; 1/9 part of said estate (after debts are paid) delared to be her part. (Order Bk 1719-24, p 372). It is not clear from this order whether said MARY was widow or child of Richard Ward. The 1/9th part is of interest as probably indicating the number of children RICHARD WARD left at his decease; though there may have been bequests to others than his children. Henrico Court October 5,1725: JOHN WARD, one of orphans of RICHARD WARD decd, acknowledge to have received his estate from his guardian, RICHARD WARD, whom he discharges hereby from his bond.

  91. "COLONIAL JUSTICE IN VIRGINIA" by Chumbly:"Horseracing was considered a sport, but was, in early years, considered a diversion only for the Gentry---as illustrated by the classic case in 1674 when one Bullock, a tailor, was fined by a County Court for racing his horse against the entry of a Physician, a sport only for Gentlemen." Middle of 18th century the sport became generally popular.
  92. ASSIGNMENT-1. Something assigned, as a particular task or duty: Law: the transference of a right, interest or title, or the instrument of a right, interest. This boy must be a relatiive. Remember that Mary Parker was still alive Oct. 1686 when Katherine Banks Royall Isham made her will. (2 1/2 Years earlier.) I believe this signifies that Richard's mother, Mary Perkins Parker, has died, and this is inheritance, from her, due a deceased daughter which would legally go to the daughter's eldest son. John Cannon was born 1643 and his present wife, Hester/Ester Pledge Cannon was born 1663. Others may reach a different conclusion, but I think I should give my thoughts to this.

  121. Sources for Robert - not Richard or John - being the husband of Jane Bankhead Taliaferro are: (1) Caroline County, Virginia Court Records: Probate and other Records from the Court Order and Minute Books 1781-1799, edited by Kimberly C. Campbell, 1999, on p. 45 is "Robert Taliaferro (Will) February 1791." The Will is not on The Virginia State Library, Richmond, microfilm - the original records were probably destroyed, said the librarian at VSL. (2) And on p. 47 of Campbell: "July 1791 Robert Taliaferro (Jane Taliaferro's renunciation of all benefits under the Will of her late husband.)" Note: "Renunciation" is a legal maneuver that releases a spouse's dower interest, primarily used when the surviving spouse is provided for in other ways. (3) In Virginia County Court Records: Caroline County, Virginia Land Book Alterations 1792-1795, edited by Ruth & Sam Sparacio, 1996, p. 40, in 1793 (2 years after Robert's Will was recorded) 367 acres is transferred "from ROBERT TALIAFERRO'S ESTATE to JANE TALIAFERRO" and 733 acres is transferred "from ROBERT TALIAFERRO's ESTATE to WILLIAM TALIAFERRO" and 410 acres "from ROBERT TALIAFERRO's ESTATE to NORBORNE TALIAFERRO. These are obviously Robert's wife and 2 eldest sons who later died. (4) Virginia Herald (Fredericksburg) 6 Dec 1792, page 1, column 3: "On Tuesday, the 18th of December, if fair, if not, the next fair day, will be sold, at Blenheim, the late residence of Robert Taliaferro, deceased, all the stock of horses, . . . " (5) Orange Co VA Deed Book 22, pg. 132, 12/22/00, describes Hay Taliaferro, son of Robert. (6) Deed dated 1772 recorded in Spotsylvania Co VA from "Robert Taliaferro and his wife Jane of Caroline County." Virginia County Records SPOTSYLVANIA COUNTY 1721-1800 ----- DEED BOOK H 1771-1774 page 294 Septr. 21, 1772. Robert Taliaferro and Jane, his wife, of Caroline Co. to Long Wharton of Co. afsd. £80 curr. 550 a. in Spts. Co. Daniel Starke, Joseph Bridges, James Livingston. Nov. 20, 1772. (7) The Douglas Register (Notes of the Rev. William Douglas from 1750-1797), pg. 353 of the reprint and pg. 137 of original: "1788--Dr. Ja. Bankhead died, he had 6 children, 3 sons & 3 daughters. . . . Of his daughters one married Mr. Rob. Talliferrar and has 8 children. . . ." Douglas names 2 of the 3 Bankhead daughters as Elizabeth m. Peter Thornton and Martha still single. Bankhead genealogy also confirms "Jane" as a daughter. Conclusion: I think we can safely say - along with Wayne Rogers - that JANE TALIAFERRO of Caroline County is the WIDOW of ROBERT TALIAFERRO of "Blenheim" Caroline County died 1791. The fact that 2 Bankheads also gave depositions in the court records found in the Loose Papers of Caroline County at VSL also lends weight to JANE TALIAFERRO's having BANKHEAD connections, but I don't think there is any doubt in the Taliaferro Research Arena that Jane Taliaferro of Blenheim who died in 1832 at the age of 95 is anyone other than Jane Bankhead, daughter of Dr. James Bankhead. The settlement of Jane Taliaferro's estate in Loose Papers of Caroline County clearly names her children and grandchildren. Hay is a named son (see # 5 above). Our Richard H. Taliaferro is a named son and Peachy R. Taliaferro is a named grandson.
