Added to my file on August 4, 1999.ID: I46476 Name: John Taylor Sex: M Birth: 10 AUG 1607 in Cumberland County,England 1 2 3 Death: 1652 in Lancaster County,VA 1 2 3 IDNO: 101 Note: [401017.ftw] [Gilreath.FTW] Some researchers have stated that John Taylor was born in "Pennington Castle" in Cumbria County, Emgland. However, there is no Pennington Castle by that name. Muncaster Castle, the seat of the Pennington family since 1208, is located on the coast in the Lake District of England some thirty miles Southwest of Carlisle. It is quite likely that John Taylor worked at the castle for the Pennington family, perhaps as a tailor. The tower of circa 1325is the oldest remaining part of the castle. The Taylor coat of arms is the same as that of the Earls of Pennington. John and Elizabeth Taylor came to Virginia in about 1648 as he is listed on Greer's Immigration List of 1648. Their children were all born in England except the second, Richard, who was born in 1650 in Northumberland County, Virginia. It is not known how many of the children accompanied them to Virginia but son Thomas did not come over until 1650, two years after his parents arrived. Their son, James, was the great grandfather of President James Madison and the great great grandfather of President Zachary Taylor. Zachary Taylor's daughter, Sarah Knox Taylor, was the wife of Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America. 2 3 4 Change Date: 18 JUN 2002 at 16:13:06 County,England AFN: 2HLQ-4N Repository: Title: Gilreath.FTW Abbrev: Gilreath.FTW Note: Source Media Type: Other Text: Date of Import: Jun 30, 2000 Repository: Title: 401017.ftw Abbrev: 401017.ftw Note: Source Media Type: Other Text: Date of Import: Dec 15, 2000 Repository: Title: 160010.GED Abbrev: 160010.GED Note: Source Media Type: Other Text: Date of Import: Apr 24, 2001 Title: Brøderbund WFT Vol. 1, Ed. 1, Tree #2518, Date of Import: Jun 2, 1997 Abbrev: Brøderbund WFT Vol. 1, Ed. 1, Tree #2518, Date of Import: Jun 2, 1997
