Sorry, wrong Edmund. Edmund Pendleton was president of the Virginia Ratification Convention. Edmund Randolph was the governor of Virginia and a delegate to the convention.

I'll eventually get this right. From Wikipedia:

[John] Taylor was orphaned as a small child. He was adopted by a maternal uncle, Edmund Pendleton, a leading Virginia politician, lawyer and judge. He attended Donald Robertson's Academy with fellow students: James Madison (a distant cousin), and George Rogers Clark. Taylor attended the College of William and Mary and then studied law at his uncle's office. He served in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, rising to the rank of colonel, and serving under Patrick Henry and General William Woodford, and leading a regiment under the Marquis de Lafayette.
