Col. John Tayloe III (September 2, 1770 – March 23, 1828), of Richmond County, Virginia, was the premier Virginia planter; a politician, businessman, and tidewater gentry scion. He was prominent in elite social circles. A highly successful planter and early Thoroughbred horse breeder, he was considered the "wealthiest man of his day".[1] A military officer, he also served in the Virginia House of Delegates and Senate of Virginia for nine years.

The Tayloe family of Richmond County, including his father, John Tayloe II, and grandfather, John Tayloe I, exemplified gentry entrepreneurship by the diversifying business interests utilizing agriculture to begin vertically integrating their supply chain including shipbuilding and iron production to satisfy transportation needs.[2]
