Charles Taliaferro was born in North Carolina, March 5. 1799. He was a son of Charles and Sallie (Burrows) Taliaferro. His grandfather's name was John, of Albemarle County, Virginia. Charles was married to Miss Jennie Whitlock, of his native State, about the year 1820, and soon after their marriage, groom and bride, enamored of the "west country," as of each other, "rode horseback" from Surry County. North Carolina, to McMinn County, Tennessee, several miles west of Knoxville, when there was practically no roads and the country through which they traveled was much of a wilderness. To this marriage were born three sons and two daughters. He was married a second time, October 22, 1839, to Elizabeth Eldridge, to which union were born six children. four sons and two daughters. Charles Taliaferro was present as a delegate from the Tennessee church, from which time he was a prominent figure in the Association for a third of a century. He began his ministry, it is thought, with Prospect Church (near Loudon), which he founded and built up to be "some three hundred strong in membership," and was his "home church" as long as he lived.

(He was an elder of the Missionary Baptist Church)
