Children of George Taylor and Rebecca
George Taylor, b. 1615, Carlisle England - d. Mar. 7, 1682/83 Rappahannock
      m. ca. 1634 to Rebecca
      children: at least 7; James, George, Jr., Francis, Martha, Richard, John, and Thomas
1.  James Taylor was born about 1635, perhaps in Carlisle, England, and had the benefit of an education.  In about 1666 he married Frances Walker, daughter of Col. John Walker of Great Hunting Creek in Lancaster County(, Virginia)
Frances Walker Taylor died in 1680 and married Mary Gregory in 1682.  She was the daughter of John Gregory, and the younger sister of Richard Gregory, Burgess of Essex County, Virginia.  James died in 1698.
(This is the James of Carlisle who was the ancestor of James Madison and Zachary Taylor, both presidents of the United States.  There are innumerable genealogies concerning him and his family.  After searching through some of them we found that most did not agree with each other.  Again much controversy over this and I (Ardie) have no opinion on this matter.
