About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

This is the Taliaferro family graveyard on the site of Taliaferro's Mount plantation, now known as Haymount. Robert Taliaferro and wife Catherine Dednam established their residency here in 1666. He and his brother-in-law, Lawrence Smith, received a nearby grant for 6,300 acres. Taliaferro relocated here from Gloucester County and purchased this plantation in 1666 in order to develop his land holdings here. He died about 1771, and his widow, remarried in Dec 1672 to Cadwallader Jones and they continued to make their home here. The land passed to Francis Taliaferro and was in his family's possession for a number of generations.

The graveyard is deep into private property, and there is no public access. There are apparently no remaining stones, but it has been reported that the site is still identifiable. There is also a story about the broken gravestone of Francis Taliaferro being used as a back door step into the earlier residence.
