Dorman, John Frederick. 2004. Adventurers of Purse and Person, Virginia, 1607-1624/5. Genealogical Pub. Co. 4th edition. Vol 3, Page 293, book lookup by Hill, C. [03/20/2024]

Not the same as Anne Eastham and not the daughter of Thomas Taylor (d 1618) & Margaret Taylor. Her father Thomas Taylor died 1657.

Anne Taylor, wife of Miles Cary, was born before 1628 in England and died on 13 Mar 1657 in Windmill Point, Warwick Co., VA.

Disambiguation

She is not the same as Anne Eastham. It is impossible for her to have married Edward Essom Eastham, Sr.

Origins

Parents are seen as Captain Thomas Taylor ll (b. 1573 in Hadley, Middlesex, England) and Margaret Swindley (b. 1578 in Copenhagen, Denmark)

However, from https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Taylor-960

There are no records as to exactly when Anne/Ann Taylor, wife of Miles/Myles Cary, was born. The estimates generally range from about 1621 to 1628. Undoubtedly, she was the daughter of Thomas Taylor, died in/after 1652, a burgess of Warwick County, Virginia in 1646. Note: Anne Taylor's father was Captain Thomas Taylor one of the original patentees in Elizabeth City, Cork county in 1626 and in 1643 too up 600 acres in Warwick. When Miles Cary came to the Colonies he lived with and work for Thomas Taylor.

“Readers are likely to find many erroneous references on the internet that Ann/Anne Taylor was the daughter of the Thomas Taylor who married Margaret Swinderby, but as that Thomas is documented as having died in England in 1618 it is impossible that he was the father of Anne who married Miles Cary.”

Notes

• Margarey Swinderby is also reported as Anne's mother. Most Internet sources, however, report Mary Barrow as her mother.
• Emigration: 1635, London, England to Virginia via Bermuda on the ship Truelove.
• "No evidence has yet appeared to identify this Taylor family definitely. Thomas Taylor was one of the original patentees in Elizabeth City in 1626 (Hotten, 273) and in 1643 took up 600 acres in Warwick. In 1646 and he sat as Burgess for Warwick and as late as 1652 was in the commission of peace. In the patent of 1643 he is styled 'mariner'. He was probably a Bristol sea captain long engaged in the Virginia trade who returned from the sea in Warwick. His relation to Miles Cary suggests that he may have been of the family of John Taylor, alderman of Bristol, who is mentioned in relation to the Bristol Carys in the 1652 will of the Bristol clergyman, Robert Perry (P.C.C. Bowyer, 243. See Va Mag, xi, 364). We have seen that there had already been a Taylor / Cary marriage in Bristol." Harrison, Fairfax, "The Virginia Carys: An Essay in Genealogy", NY, 1919, p. 35;
