I just sent e-mail, but forgot to add that President Zachary Taylors lineage comes from Robert Taylors father Thomas. Perhaps someone who has worked on Zachary Taylor's family knows something about why the Taylors were at Pennington Castle. Looking for any information on two of my ancestors who were not Penningtons (as far as I know), but were born in Pennington Castle. Do you have any information as to who they were or why they were there. I don't know if they were family or servants. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Robert Taylor, b. 07 Nov 1601 in Pennington Castle, Carlisle, Cumberland County, England, m. Patience Margaret Palmer of Carlisle, Cumberland, England d. 1689 Essex Co., Va Burial: Carlisle Cemetary, Carlisle, Cumberland, England Father: Thomas Taylor of Hadley, Middlesex, London, England 1618-1573/4 Mother: Margaret Swinderby of Copenhagen, Denmard Andrew Taylor, b. 18 Nov 1629 in Carlisle, Cumberland, England m. Hester Ann Hitchcock of Pennsylvania, USA d. Spotsylvania, VA Thanks. Tara McNamara __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
