Biography

SKETCHES AND RECOLLECTIONS of Lynchburg MRS. TALIAFERRO.

This venerable lady resides in Lynchburg, continuing to occupy the same house in which she lived nearly half a century since. Her maiden name was Price, and she was a sister of Mrs. Meredith Lambeth, of the vicinity of Lynchburg. For some years, Mrs. Taliaferro was the wife of Roderick Taliaferro, Esq., an excellent man, who, dying about the year 1819, left her a widow, with the sole charge of a young and helpless family. Conscientiously discharging these arduous duties, she has had the comfort and gratification, in her old age, of seeing her children rise and prosper around her; proving that the good seed, by her sown, had fallen into honest hearts, which, in due season, have brought forth their fruits. She was the mother of the late Judge Norborne Taliaferro, who was reared in Lynchburg, and who studied for the bar under the auspices of the late Christopher Anthony, of that place. Judge Taliaferro was an eminent lawyer, and, when a young man, he married Miss Lucy Jones, an interesting young lady of Lynchburg. Surviving for some years his beloved wife, he was appointed Judge of the Henry and Patrick District. Discharging with great ability these duties, and whilst in the midst of his vigor and usefulness, Judge Taliaferro died a few years since, leaving his aged mother to mourn the loss of her excellent son. ^[1]
