Descendants of William Taylor

 

Generation No. 1

1. WILLIAM1 TAYLOR1,2 was born Abt. 1615 in British Isles, probably England. He married (1) ELIZABETH OSBOURNE. He married (2) MARY WISE.

Notes for WILLIAM TAYLOR:

Listing for In Virginia's Eastern Shore, Accomack County:

1662 Patent jointly to William Taylor and Bartholomew Mears for 500 acres which was bounded on the northeast by the Beaver Dam Branch of Sachipongo Creek. 1668 They divided it as follows: Taylor and his wife Elizabeth gave a deed to Mears for the 200 acres at the east end and Mears and his wife Mary deeded the 300-acres balance to Taylor.

1670 The Taylors sold their 300 acres to Edward Hitchens.

The several pages of land transactions that follow, tracing the various parcels of land mention transactions in 1789 to a Robert Taylor, in 1736 to John Taylor and his son John, in 1792 to Savage Taylor (a Francis Savage being mentioned in 1798) and Margaret Taylor, the wife of Thomas Mears. In 1792 Savage Taylor was mentioned with his wife Peggy. A Mears parcel was sold to a Charles W. Taylor in 1841.

While no relationship to any of the listed Taylors is evident, family lore and the appearance of marriages between the Mears and Taylors in this instance, and the later in the direct Taylor line, has linked this William Taylor to Henry 1 and his descendents.

Notes for ELIZABETH PHILLIPS:

From a chart done by Samuel West of Lumberton on 10/17/1992, a member of Antioch Baptist Church, via Leesa Witten: Elizabeth was born Abt 1802 and died 9/28/1881

Also from Sam West: The only issue of Jordan and Hester Lee Phillips that can be documented, as far as I know, was son Joshua Phillips, who was born in 1818. His relationship as "son" is documented though the land records. The others thought to have been issues were just listed in the census records. None of those records documents an actual relationship, but rather assumptions of relationships; therefore, this evidence is circumstantial and not definite. Elizabeth Phillips Taylor "may" have been a daughter, but I think that more research may need to be done in the land records to see if they [Lemuel & Elizabeth] was in possession of any land formerly owned by ( ? ) Phillips
