"A little about the TAYLOR Family History"

One of the first records of the family name TAYLOR was found in Kent, which is located in Scotland. The TAYLOR family traces their ancestral roots back to Norman origin before the year 1100. From h


Disputed Pedigree

So, to review:

  • 0. Taillefer... [fictitious character; not authentic progenitor of any bearing
  • surname 'Taylor'; anyway, only alleged as progenitor of an armigerous
  • family of Kent, not the same as Rowland Taylor's family, as far as
  • anyone knows.]
  • 1. Rowland Taylor = Margaret Tyndale
  • 2. Thomas Taylor = Elizabeth Burwell [entire Rowland Taylor genealogy of doubtful origin]
  • 3. Thomas Taylor = Margaret Swinderby [Rowland Taylor genealogy of doubtful origin; furthermore, no evidence whatsoever for age or place of origin of John Taylor of Lancaster Co., VA, let alone to make him the John in this generation in the doubtful Rowland descendant genealogy]
  • 4. John Taylor ('immigrant to Lancaster Co., VA) = Elizabeth ___ [no known Thomas named as son of John in extant records; John
  • appears to have had no sons alive as of 1668]
  • 5. Thomas Taylor = Mary ___ [no evidence: testator (no. 5) apparently d.s.p.]
  • 6. Thomas Taylor = Elizabeth Harwood
  • 7. Dorothy Taylor = William Lee [could be supported by Eliz. (___) Taylor's 1747 will, long known;
  • but not shown by Roberts: why?: I would carefully read his cited sources]
  • 8. William Lee = ___ ___
  • 9. Anna (Nancy) Lee = Joseph Hanks, Sr.
  • 10. Joseph Hanks, Jr. = Nancy Shipley [10 is a guess as par. of 11: see abundant Lincoln literature cited by Roberts]
  • 11. Nancy Hanks = Thomas Lincoln
  • 12. Abraham Lincoln (U.S. President)
