Note 74 — HISTORY
Reading edition
Col. John Taliaferro was a justice of Spotsylvania County court and one of the original trustees of Fredericksburg. He lived at the “Manor Plantation,” Snow Creek, Spotsylvania County, and died in 1744 (“Virginia Council Journals, 1726-1753,” VHM [Richmond, 1927], vol. 35, p. 415). Benjamin Hubbard lived in Caroline County (“The Lovelace Family and its Connections,” VHM [Richmond, 1921], vol. 29, p. 367); John Powers was apparently a resident of King William County (Ida J. Lee, “Abstracts from King William County Records,” WMQ [2] [Williamsburg, 1926], vol. 6, p. 72); “Furnea’s” seems to have been an ordinary between Williamsburg and New Kent.
