William Taylor
(Abt 1612-Bef 1687) |
William Taylor
Notes: He is very likely the William Taylor who was among the 40 colonists who arrived at Jamestown in Oct 1633 with Edward Kingswell and his partners Roger Wingate and their families, on their way to make a settlement in North Carolina, the first attempt since the ill-fated Raleigh venture, but the vessel that was to transport them from Jamestown was abandoned, and most of them probably remained in Virginia. Kingswell devised his rights to Wingate, whose widow Dorothy devised them to Lewis Burwell. On 18 Apr 1648 a patent was granted to Lewis Burwell and Thomas Vause for 2300 acres for transporting colonists. As several persons who were headrights under his patent are known to have been with the Kingswell colony, it is believed that this list represents the entire group of colonists. Among the names are included William Taylor, Elias Taylor and Thomas Adams. William married Elizabeth (?) about 1638. (Elizabeth (?) was born about 1620.) |
