Ardie > I basically have very little interest beyond our immigrant Taylor and no way of proving or disproving any of the above information.  Parts of the following were written by George Taylor of Kansas in 1990 and recently sent to me with permission to quote from it or to use his information in some manner.  Mr. Taylor's entire article is on file in the Virginia State Library.  George is not positive concerning the ancestry of George Taylor, born 1615.  He believes that since John Taylor was his near neighbor on Croataman River in Lancaster, Virginia, in 1650, that he was either his younger brother or a cousin.  All of the material and information that I have received from Mr. Taylor is very well documented.

Thomas Taylor, Jr. of Carlisle, England, had a son John, born in 1607, who eventually migrated to Nothumberland County, Virginia.  Another son, James, born 1610, migrated to Surry County, Virginia.  In August of 1635, John and George Taylor, then approximately twenty years of age, booked out of London on the Elizabeth which was bound for Virginia.  The voyage was apparently canceled, as George also shows up on the next sailing to Virginia on a ship called George and John Taylor on the Bonaventura sometime later in 1635 along (p. 50) with Henry Lee.  It is believed that both George and John returned to England for a time until they eventually remained in the Colonies and built homes in Virginia.

6.  Francis Taylor, who was born about 1648 was married twice, first to Miss Dudley in about 1673 and second to Elizabeth Sneed, daughter of Charles Snead of Cliff Creek in Essex County, Virginia, sometime before 1680.  He was an illiterate planter who lived in Christ Church Parish and was a member of Christ Church.  In 1682 Francis sold a farm he had purchased from J. Farmer to Samuel Dudley of Richmond County.  In 1693 Francis, who signed with an "X", entered  (p. 55) into an agreement with Charles Snead, Jr. over the division of land that was left to them by Charles Snead, Sr.  Elizabeth, his second wife was a daughter of Charles Snead, Sr.
