Francis Taylor III born 1705, King and Queen Co., VA

Francis Taylor III, b. 1705, King and Queen County, Virginia - died about 1774, King and Queen County, Virginia married ? ca. 1730's to perhaps Elizabeth (Betsy)
children: 6 children were listed in his will, however, at least one of them was not, there may have been more whose names were omitted as well.  Those who were named in his will were Ann, Mary Ann, William, John, Samuel, and Frances.  It is believed he also had a son Benjamin.  All four sons received land grants on Coldwater Creek in what is now Elbert County, Georgia, after the Revolutionary War.  They were later joined by some of their sister, Ann's family.  All Francis' children are believed to have been born in King and Queen County, Virginia.
Something that was hard to learn and sometimes hard to remember is that it was not John Taylor, son of Francis Taylor III that lived on Coldwater Creek, but that John's son John.
