Kesler" <rkesler@pinehurst.net> 04 Nov 1998, Page 84 0f reference 2 reads in part as follows:

  'The identity and number of the wives of John Battaile of Rappahannock

River is a matter of some confusion. My own conclusions differ from those of McGroarty, who held that Battaile had two wives: Catherine Taliaferro and Elizabeth Smith. I believe that Battaile had three wives.

  'Three bits of documentary evidence concernig the identity of Battaile's

wives were known to McGroarty. The first, an order of Rappahannock Court, 1 June 1687, states that John Battaile had "lately married Catherine, one of the daughters of Mr. Robert Taliaferro, decd." The second, dated 16 June 1700, is a power of attorney from Col. Lawrence Smith of Gloucester County to his "son-in-law Capt. John Battaile." The third is the will of John Battaile, in which he refers to his "loving wife, Elizabeth Battaile." From this, McGroarty condluded that Battaile had two wives, that Catherine (Taliaferro) Battaile died shortly after her marriage, and the Elizabeth of the will was the daughter of Lawrence Smith.

  'To digress momentarily, Robert Taliaferro and Lawrence Smith, both

emigrants to Virginia, are believed to have been brothers-in-law, having married daughters of William Debnam, and early settler of York and Gloucester counties. Lawrence Smith furthermore believed to have been the nephew of Augustine Warner, member fo the Council of Virginia. In 1658 Catherine, the widow of William Debnam and mother-in-law to Taliaferro and Smith, married the Rev. Charles Grymes. They were the grandparents of John Grymes, member of the Council of Virginia. On 26 March 1666 Robert Taliaferro and Lawrence Smith patented in partnership 6,300 acres of the Rappahannock at Snow and Massaponax creeks, present Spotsylvania County. John Taliaferro, third son of Robert, married Sarah Smith, daughter of Lawrence, 1682.' !"Anneliese L.
