I have the passenger list of the Endeavor,a ketch, under master Geo Thorp, that landed 7mo 29, 1683...this is found in THE HISTORY OF CHESTER COUNTY PA, by Futhey and Cope, but a Daniel Taylor is not included among the passengers, nor as a passenger on any of Penn's ships lists that I have. The name does not appear in any early tax or landowner lists....nor in any Quaker meeting records I have, or in any regard, in Futhey and Cope's history. You might want to do some checking in early Quaker records, for what I have access to is by no means complete. I looked on the CD of PA wills, and found , in a Bucks Co will, the mention of a "Daniel Sutton, Taylor" (notice the , before the final name)...and, later in the will a "Daniel Sutton" (no mention of Taylor" served as witness...so, I don't know which, if either, is correct. You might want to get a will copy from Bucks Co, and see if, perchance, this is your 'boy'. It appears in the will of William Samford, 8th mo 17d, 1692...( the way this is dated, these are Quakers.)...so, if this IS whom you seek, you may be looking in the wrong Co. There are NO mentions of the name in any Chester Co wills....

I saw the same ", Taylor" reference but took it to be a possible indenture to a tailor, and also say some other references in searches came up with the same comma followed by taylor. Your list of the Endeavor on your Chester site does have a Daniel Sutton and he's listed with the same sort of comma followed by taylor and from that I think it's clear that there was a Daniel Sutton on the Endeavor who was a taylor by profession: http://www.pa-roots.com/~chester/individual_ships_of_penn.htm Endeavor, a ketch, master Geo Thorp, landed 7mo 29, 1683. Daniel Sutton - taylor, John Presonr - blacksmith, Jo:Charlesworth - tanr, John Oudfield Since the goal seemed to be to indentify early Taylors in the area that could be candidates for an ancestor it's worth noting that the page cited above does have an early Taylor family: The Friendship August 14, 1682, William and Margaretta Taylor and children Joseph, Elizabeth and Mary Peter Taylor
