Lydia/ m. Hiram Alloway
Ophelia "Effie"/15 Aug 1797 m. David Boydston; 2) James Green; 3) John Polland
Samuel/10 May 1799 m. Eunice Phillips
Maria/1801 m. Hamilton Henkins; 2) Jacob Marchant
Sarah/10 Mar 1804 m. Philip Boldman
Rebecca/1808 m. Chauncey Beeman
Elizabeth/1813 m. Reuben Pownall
John W/5 Jun 1814 m. Mary Elizabeth Prye
Mary, daughter of Samuel Taylor, Jr, married John Violet, II, in Oct of 1791. John was the son of John I, grandson of Edward I and great-grandson of William. It appears William came to Kent Island about 1660 and was the overseer on a large plantation. Edward, his son, received a small land grant (232 acres) which he eventually sold to George Washington. It appears that the present Washington's Mill is built on that land. Then Edward became an overseer for Washington running the Muddy Hole farm until his death in 1775. Edward's sons Edward II and John I continued to work for Washington. Edward II agreed to go to Washington's 'Bullskin' plantation in northern Virginia (articles of agreement are in Washington's papers) to run the plantation which Washington thought was being mismanaged. John I was able to get about 700 acres of land about three miles north of (now) Middleburg, VA, and built a nice plantation there. Both Edward II and John I are buried on this plantation. The land boundaries and house are still almost unchanged from the early 1800's and is now called the 'Snake Hill Farm'.
John II went into the Revolutionary War and stayed in until the end of the war. He came back to Loudoun County and married Mary Taylor, and about 1795 or 1796, became the overseer of the Union Farm (part of Mt. Vernon) for Washington. Things must have gotten pretty bad after Washington's death in 1798, and John II took his land warrant in Kentucky. He appears to have had it surveyed but did not move there. He is in Adams County, Ohio about 1800 and, it appears, that Mary "Polly" must have died there. Adams County boundaries are changing about this time and we are not sure where Mary "Polly" is buried or if there was ever a marker. John II married again and bought land in Pike County. Ohio.
