The TAYLOR Family Line

He married Ann(e) ???.

Andrew Taylor I was in Norfolk County, Virginia, as early as 1682.

He may have been related to those Norfolk Co, VA Taylors who descend from James Taylor and Christian Adam of Craigtown, Fintree Parish, Stirling County, Scotland. His wife's name was Ann(a), perhaps Ann Jordan who may have been a daughter of James Jordan. Andrew Taylor was in Norfolk Co, VA at least as early as 1682 where he is mentioned in a land grant to Samuel Wingate. He was born about 1656 ("age 40 or thereabouts" in 1696) and made his will in Norfolk County in Oct 1716.

The children are mentioned in Andrew Taylor's 1716 will and the 1745 will of his son Thomas Taylor.

Mentioned in Samuel Wingate Grant in Apr 1682
Andrew Taylor ismentioned on 20 Apr 1682 when Samuel Wingate was granted 100 acres in Lower Norfolk County at the head of the West Branch of Elizabeth River, adjoining Thomas Cottle, Jno. Jolliffee, Jno. Grigman, and Andrew Taylor. The land was part of a patent granted to Edward Wingate, dec'd, 27 Sep 1661, and due said Samuel as heir at law.

Granted 200 Acres in Lower Norfolk in Sep 1683
Andrew Taylor was granted 200 acres in Lower Norfolk County on 20 Sep 1683. The land had been granted Thomas Weel, dec'd, and escheated, by inquisition, under William Randolph, Depty. Esch'r, &c.

Andrew Taylor, a shoemaker, was granted 147 acres in Norfolk County on 25 Oct 1695 on the southwest side of Spring's Mill in the West Branch of Elizabeth River, adjoining John Freeman & Robert Spring, for the importation of 3 persons: Nicho. Roderith, Simon Powen, Santo.

Ann Taylor's Children Inherit from James Jordan's 1703/4 Will

Falls of the Tar Primitive Baptist Church Established
In 1757, a group of Baptists, guided by Elder John Moore, established the Falls of the Tar Primitive Baptist Church. Among the members during the first two decades, 1757-1777, were the following: William Taylor, Mary Taylor, and Dempsey Taylor. The first "meeting house" consisted of a tiny plank structure on the north side of Tar River near the Great Falls in Edgecombe [now Nash] Co., NC.

Appointed a 'Searcher' in Edgecombe County Court in Mar 1760
William Taylor and Simon Johnson were "Searchers from the Mouth of Swift Creek to the Falls of Tar River" in Mar 1760. Searchers were slave patrols. A law in 1753 created patrols to police county districts, watch for slaves absent from their plantations without written passes, search slave quarters for weapons, and break up suspicious gatherings. Later the searchers were known as patrolers and patty (paddy) rollers.

Receives 540-Acre Granville Grant in Aug 1762
William Taylor of Beech Run had a warrant to survey 700 acres in Edgecombe issued in Feb 1762 to William Haywood. 2 Feb 1762.

The chain carrier Josiah Taylor was likely William Taylor's son Josiah. Demcy [Dempsey] Taylor, the other chain carrier, was likely the son of Andrew Taylor of Northampton County and nephew of William Taylor. Andrew Taylor was almost certainly the brother of William Taylor. William Taylor's son Reuben Taylor named a son Dempsey Taylor, who was born in 1764, thus too young to have been a chain carrier in 1762.
