  • William Tayloe (the nephew), nephew of William Tayloe (the immigrant). In 1692 Tayloe was one of the first justices of Richmond County (Richmond Co. was created from Old Rappahannock Co. in 1692), and in 1704, as "Colonel and Commander in Chief" of the militia of that county, subdued an attempted uprising of the Indians. Col. Tayloe was a Burgess for Richmond county at the sessions of December 1700; August 1701; May 1702; June 1702, and April 1706. On 19 May 1703, Col. William Tayloe, Col.

    • John Tayloe I son of William Tayloe (the nephew). He was a member of the House of Burgesses of Virginia in 1710, 1728 and 1730. ^{[14] [15]}
      • John Tayloe II was an influential member of the King's Council, under Lord Dunmore, and of the first Republic Council, under Governor Patrick Henry. ^[16] Tayloe was a member of the House of Burgesses of Virginia 1774. ^[17]
        • John Tayloe III Captain of Dragoons, he went to Western Pennsylvania, to help put down the Whiskey Rebellion. In 1799, he was appointed Major of Light Dragoons, U. S. A. by President John Adams. When General Washington wrote to Tayloe a warm letter of congratulation, Tayloe hesitated to accept the commission as he had just been elected as a Federalist to the Senate of Virginia, and he feared, as he wrote to Washington, that if he resigned his seat, the place would be filled by an opponent of the administration. On 12 February 1799, Washington replied that he was inclined to believe his civil service would be more important than military service. Tayloe served in the Virginia House of Delegates and the Senate of Virginia, as Delegate and Senator for a combined 9 years. On the breaking out of the War of 1812, Tayloe was made commander of the cavalry of the District of Columbia and saw active service. ^[18]
          • Benjamin Ogle Tayloe studied law under United States Attorney General Richard Rush. ^[19]: 6 When Rush was appointed Minister to Great Britain in 1817, Tayloe was an observer at the Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle in 1818. ^{[19]: 12–13} He traveled to Paris in the spring of 1819, where Minister to France Albert Gallatin introduced him to King Louis XVIII and Talleyrand. ^[19]: 15
          • Edward Thornton Tayloe was private secretary to Mr. Joel Roberts Poinsett of South Carolina, Minister of Mexico. He was skilled in French, Italian and Spanish. In 1828 he became Secretary of Legation to William Henry Harrison, first Minister to Colombia. Since 1825 he had flooded the fledgling Department of State with recommendations from influential friends, including Poinsett, seeking his appointment to diplomatic service. Only six weeks after his return from Mexico, he was appointed by President John Quincy Adams. Before the party left for Bogota, President Adams was defeated by Andrew Jackson. Gen. Harrison and Edward Tayloe proceeded to Colombia, hoping the new administration would leave them in place. While they awaited the ship, Gen. Cordoba seized the opportunity of Simon Bolivar's absence to stage a revolt in Colombia. Bolivar's second in command blamed the Cordoba affair on the meddling of Harrison and Tayloe. Then an American adventurer in the employ of Bolivar's government saw an opportunity for his own advancement and spread the tale that Harrison and Tayloe had conspired with Cordoba in his attempted coup. A mutual friend of Harrison and Tayloe was imprisoned without charges or trial, and they returned to Virginia. Simon Bolivar had disappointed him with his aggression against Peru and his dictatorial tendencies, and Washington politics had topped everything off. In 1830 he became a County Magistrate, in King George County, Virginia. In 1840 he won the election with William Henry Harrison, but President Harrison died. Before his death, President Harrison confided to Benjamin Ogle Tayloe that he intended naming Edward Tayloe to the post of Treasurer of the United States. One account even states that Mr. Harrison caught his death while walking in the rain from St. John's Church to the Benjamin Ogle Tayloe House with that information.
