Thanks again for your additional message. I have considered and done some "looking at" Mathew Taylor in Wash Co., PA. One source says he made a will in Wash but I have never found it. There is a relation to a Henry Taylor whose father, as I recall from something I found years ago and may not be a right remembrance, was a Mathew in far west Maryland, who is said to have made a will naming his son in Wash Co.
