Around 1638, William Taylor married Elizabeth (unknown). They had the following children:
No wife was named in William Taylor’s Will.
William made a will on 21 September 1686 at Accomack County, Virginia:
The will was proven 21 jun 1687
According to Matthew Wise he is very likely the William Taylor who was among the 40 colonists who arrived at Jamestown in Oct 1633 with Edward Kingswell and his partners Roger Wingate and their families, on their way to make a settlement in North Carolina, the first attempt since the ill-fated Raleigh venture, but the vessel that was to transport them from Jamestown was abandoned, and most of them probably remained in Virginia. Kingswell devised his rights to Wingate, whose widow Dorothy devised them to Lewis Burwell. On 18 Apr 1648 a patent was granted to Lewis Burwell and Thomas Vause for 2300 acres for transporting colonists. As several persons who were headrights under his patent are known to have been with the Kingswell colony, it is believed that this list represents the entire group of colonists. Among the names are included William Taylor, Elias Taylor and Thomas Adams.
Custody of nephew Phillip Taylor, son of brother Phillip Taylor:
Whereas Wm. Taylor has petitioned this court that he has taken into his care Phillipp Taylor, orphan, who hath been provided for by him about two years since the decease of his father Capt. Phill: Taylor and has to the best of his ability seen him educated. Wm. Taylor as likewise petitioned to have the land of the said orphan in his possission to improve until said Phillip Taylor becomes of age. Whereas it appears to the Court that there is 1,000 acres belonging to the said orphan Phillip Taylor, situated at the seaboard side in N'hamp County, it is tought fit and ordered that said Wm. Taylor be hereby authorized to let out & dispose of the said land for the best use of the orpahn until he becomes of age, provided that he does not mollest the Indians.
Brother Elias Taylor, m. Anna alias Hutchinson.
Whereas William Taylor hath made complaint to this Court that his brother Elias Taylor doth most wrongfully and injuriously keep away and deter from him his apparel and other necessaries thereunto belonging without any cause or color at all contrary to all right and equity. It is thereupon thought fit and so ordered that the said Elias Taylor shall forthwith give up and deliver unto his brother William Taylor all his wearing clothes and apparel with their appurtenances which the said William now hath or which belong unto him in the custody of the said Elias, without further delay.
The final settlement of the estate of Elias Taylor (wife Anna Taylor, alias Hutchinson) showed 20 lbs tobacco had been received of William Taylor. < BR>
