Shirley; Thank you for the kind words. There is so much more. I wrote that from memory only, it is history!! I have that epic poem on death of Baron Taillefeur Sic, at the Battle of Hastings but I doubt I can put my hands on it. I am 86 yrs and my memory is failing!! You and I have exchanged pleasantries before. Are you descended from my Isaac and Isabella, or the Roberts and Johns in Rhode Island?. There are also the family of President Zachary. There are many other Taylor lines which we don't have connections for. Many in VA, NC, TN, AL, shared many first names, lived close together, buried in same cemetaries, There is a Taylor Cemetary NW of Huntsville, AL. and another in Aliceville, Pickens Co. AL where there are many Taylors, probably related but we don't have the connections. I saw a list a while back with more than 100 Isaac Taylors in the East coast at the same time as mine were there. There were MANY ISAAC TAYLORS in just my own family. In early yrs there was one in every family group, along with William, John, Andrew,George, Gideon. with a few Mathews. as well.

Gareth; As you probably know,before the 13th & 14th centuries, there were no surnames. When they started to become necessary, people tokk surnames as what they looked like, where they lived, or what they did for a living. There were tailors who made clothes, and tailor also meant smith, as blacksmith, arrowsmith, tinsmith etc and as there were many trades in each village many Taylors got their names from that. but the noble and royal Taylors came from Normandy as Taileurs (sic) That's why there are so MANY TAYLORS!!! When I was in school Taylor was the 12th most common name in the English speaking world behind Black, Brown, white, hill, bridge etc. It has now dropped to 16th or so. BUT THERE ARE STILL TOO MANY!!!! It makes genealogy very difficult! Our history tells us when England won a war with Ireland and won Ulster, there was also a civil war in England between England and Scotland and England won! The losers were given the choice of the headsman's axe or going to ireland to hold down the Catholics, many of the exiles were presbyterians and methodists(My family) IF ANY OF YOU CAN ADD TO OR CORRECT THIS, PLEASE DO!!! I belong to the Elliott clan in Scotland, but have connections to about half the Scottish Clans and septs thru my ancestors; Taylor, Vickers, Gordon, Blackburn, Barnard,Osburn, Mc Raven, Lackey;Robinson, Bagley;Sanders, Mabry,Maxwell, Clinton, etc. The taylors and Elliotts share a homeland on the England-Scotland border hence the name "Borderers" they were Reivers,(smugglers, rustlers etc) Earl H Taylor [email protected] (909)593 2652 yahoo IM eht2060 http://www.keyway.net/~eht2060/ -----Original Message----- From: Gareth Taylor [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, October 04, 2004 4:29 PM To: 'Earl Taylor' Subject: RE: Taylor ancestry; Dear Earl, I am sorry, but you are confusing me totally. 1066 was a tremendously busy year for us here in England, as well as the rest of Europe. William the Bastard was the son of Duke of Normandy and the daughter of a local Tanner - hence the name that all true born Saxons have called him ever since (1058 was the first use of the term in France) As for your Irish Ancestry. Taylor was a generic professional name as you well know. If the link is Scottish to Ireland this would be because of the following (this is my synopsis only) because of the Borders Marches - the 6 counties along the England / Scotland border and the terrible banditry that happened along the border in all directions. The Wild Wild West was nothing compared to this. In 1600 James IV of Scotland (Who became James I of England and ruled the two kingdoms together). King James needed to make the kingdoms work together so had to remove the border raiders and make trade between the two kingdoms nice and easy - without losing 90% in theft going between the two countries. Many families were outlawed (including part of my own, the Grahams), they had to flee to Ireland or Holland to save their lives or change their names. (Out of interest the worst were - Johnson, Nixon, Armstrong and Graham - which forgive me also have a strong connection with America.) - Lyndon Johnson - Richard Nixon - Billy Graham - Neil Armstrong - well I am sure they knew with Richard Nixon that he was a Border Bandit! So In short the Scottish bandits had to hide out - some came back as other names to parts of the UK, others changed their names, As far as I know the Border countries did not have a prominent Taylor Family. I suggest a good book - ' The Steel Bonnets ' by George MacDonald Fraser - in this book he describes the epic banditry of the Borders and the families involved - Note no Taylor's though. As for the Name Taylor - the Family does have current Royal Links to the British Royal Family, ' The House of Windsor ' with Lady Helen Taylor who is Twelfth inline I think to the British throne. I will do a quick search in Ireland for you, but I do not understand all the links you throw at me. Today I spent the day in Lincolnshire with the Taylor's of Lincolnshire. I have managed to get back to 1814 with a John and Mary Taylor owning as public house in Great Hale (either the 'Nags Head' or the 'Rose and Crown' ) I enjoyed visiting the places and trying to find the old pubs and building s which have all changed over the years. I then went to Sutterton to find the farm where their son George Farmed and my Great Grandfather was born. I found the Church where he was baptized but that was all unfortunately. even the churchyard only had 3 Taylor's and then only from 1914. Looking for family history is hard, but enjoyable. do you have all you tree published on a website. It might be easier for people to see the links if there was a larger overview?

Hi Barbara, Let me know how it works. I have not tried it yet but I sure need to for the Draft Cards for WW I - USA. Most of those come out terrible and if this works, I will actually be able to read the left hand page of the draft cards. I saw this in the daily Ancestry newsletter that I receive and thought it was a good idea and should pass it along to others.

Is this to find out if one descended from Zachory Taylor? My great grandma was a Taylor from VA. I've only gone back to around 1802 and just curious if my son could participate in the testing. Thanks Loni

Hi List, I saw this tip and thought I would just pass it along. It would really help with some census records. Sue in Florida [email protected] Yellow Plastic Helps Make Copies More Legible If you are making a copy and the original seems too light to read, simply place a sheet of yellow Mylar down on the glass, then put your original over that and continue the copying process. (Mylar can be purchased in most office-supply stores.) No other color but yellow will do the trick. This has proven invaluable through the years in copying receipts and other information that were almost too hard to read.

Just checking to see if I am still on this list. Thank you Bev

Read the book STEEL BONNETS by George MacDonald Fraser Its about the Border reivers. The Tailors (taylors) valley way about 30 miles from Carlisle about 1600 - on the English side of the border. Although not all about the Taylor's - its an interesting book with regard to the area at this time.

Marilyn; My family has a legend that we were related to President Zachary Taylor. We have never been able to prove it but my Taylor DNA test says I am closely related to Jeb Stuart Taylor who thinks he is descended from Zach's line.

You might want to check to see whether a surname line has a Y-DNA list. I got a better price on mine that way.

According to the info. below, the 1706 transaction would have been 1/2 of a land grant.. Maybe Fenner gave 1/2 of his 1694 landgrant to his daughter and her husband(?), John Taylor. If the cabin was the oldest, it would have to be Fenner's.

I solicit and welcome your interpretation of the following information found by my resourceful cousin at the North Scituate Library in RI: History of Trimtown , Part of Scituate, RI "Trimtown was settled in 1706 on a land grant of 75 acres laid out to to Thomas Fenner, March 5 in the right of Joan (John) Taylor formerly of Providence. This is some evidence that the cabin by the spring on the eastern slope of the hill in what is now known as the Taylor lots was the oldest white man's home on the hill. It may have been built in 1694 when the land west of the seven mile line was thrown open for settlement and surveyed into grants of 150 acres each. The second John Taylor was born in that year, so the John that sold the land in 1706 must have been the first John whose wife was Elizabeth." I am a Taylor descendant. In reading the above paragraph, I am confused . . . Who owned the property first - Fenner or Taylor? Did Fenner or Taylor own the land in 1694? In 1706, did Taylor buy or sell the property? Is John Taylor who married Elizabeth the father of the "second John Taylor" or is he just the elder of two John Taylors? Thank you for thinking about this one. Kim

Absolutely - my husband's line starts with John & Susan with son Rowland. A very interesting family especially with Zachary Taylor and James Madison. Marilyn Taylor
