- Probate/Proved: 24 Jan 1695/96, London, England
Notes:
Married:
Anderson (2011) states there is no record of Elizabeth Taylor found in New England. The published Boston and Newbury records do not show the marriage, however Stackpole (1913) states it was in October 1851 in Newbury. As the Elizabeth Taylor reported by Anderson (2011) was 10 when she was listed on the passager manifest, then she was 26 at the time of the wedding. I am assuming they are one in the same person, but I have no proof.
