The About mentions a court case naming only THREE:

It has now been proved that Sarah Garnett Foster was married to William Taylor of Albemarle who died around 1802 and whose estate was probated in 1803, and shows that he had no wife at that time, but had three children, George, John, and Nancy. No others. Court cases in 1833 and 1835 show that Sarah Garnett Foster had been the wife of William Taylor and had three children George, John, and Nancy. This information is in the court cases of Taylor vs Dowell.

The evidence is shown in Maupin's index of Albemarle miscellaneous papers. See John Foster page, and William, Sarah G. Taylor page.

Erica Howton definitely!

Thank you.
She is now left with two of the children the link shows as confirmed by a court case.
I will add the third child and finish double checking.

A Nimrod Branham is named as guardian of son Zachariah who did not reach majority.
Is this him?
Nimrod W Bramham, I

above link also says:
it also tell us that Sarah died before
her mother Averilla Foster.Averilla
Foster disappears from Albemarle records
between 1782 and 1785, which means that
Sarah diedbefore that period, leaving
George the eldest about 5 or 6 years old
and John and Nancy even younger.There
was one other child apparently, who did
not live to his majority and had a guardian
His name was Zachariah Taylor.It tells
us that George had an uncle named George
Taylor, thereby establishing at leat two
brothers for William Taylor, James and
George.This is a wonderful breakthrough
for this branch of Fosters and Taylors.
It certainly clears up forever the idea
that Sarah Garnett Foster was the wife
of any other William Taylor.
