"TAYLOR, JOHN (?-by 1737).
BORN in Baltimore County, of age by 1693; probably only surviving son.
NATIVE: second generation.
RESIDED: probably at "Taylor's Mount' near the Gunpowder River in Baltimore County.
FAMILY BACKGROUND: Father. Arthur Taylor (by 1648-by 1694), son of John Taylor (?-1676), Gent. Arthur immigrated in 1659 as a minor with his father, mother, brother, and sister.
married FIRST, by 1701, Jane (?-by 1710).
MARRIED second, between June 10 and August 3, 1710, Elizabeth, widow of William Pickett (?-1710).
CHILDREN. STEPSONS: William Pickett; George Pickett; and Heathcote Pickett.
DAUGHTER: Avarilla who married by 1726 Edward Day (?-ca. 1746).
STEPDAUGHTERS: Mary Miles; Elizabeth Pickett; and Temperance Pickett.
PRIVATE CAREER. EDUCATION: no literate in 1693, but could write his name by 1694. Neither his father nor grandfather were literate.
RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION: Anglican.
OCCUPATIONAL PROFILE: planter, 1693, 1694, 1705, 1726; carpenter, 1694, 1701; innholder, 1702, 1703.
PUBLIC CAREER. LEGISLATIVE SERVICE: Lower House, Baltimore County, 1722-1724. LOCAL OFFICE: commissioner for erecting a town at Joppa, Baltimore County, 1724.

WEALTH DURING LIFETIME. LAND AT FIRST ELECTION: probably 250 acres in Baltimore County (the remainder of at least 600 acres in Baltimore County inherited from his father), plus warrants and a certificate of survey for two additional tracts in Baltimore County totally 245 acres.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN LAND BETWEEN FIRST ELECTION AND DEATH: patented 150 acres of the previously surveyed 245 acres in 1720, plus another 150-acre tract surveyed in 1723, both in Baltimore County. In 1726, Taylor sold his home plantation of 250 acres and the certificate of survey for the remaining 95 acres surveyed in 1720 to his son-in-law Edward Day. He also authorized Day to sell the 150-acre tract surveyed in 1723.
WEALTH AT DEATH.
DIED: by 1737.
LAND: 150 acres in Baltimore County.
ADDITIONAL COMMENT: Within a four day period in October 1726, Taylor apparently concluded his affairs in Maryland in preparation for moving out of the colony. On October 26 he sold his home plantation; on October 27 he cleared the title to some of his father's land, which he had sold in the 1690s; on October 28 he and Elizabeth finally settled the estate of William Pickett (?-1710), and on October 29 he appointed Edward Day as his attorney to sell 150 acres of land surveyed in 1723. A secondary source indicated that Taylor may have moved to North Carolina; it is certainly probable that he left Maryland in early November 1726."

LAND: 150 acres in Baltimore County.
ADDITIONAL COMMENT: Within a four day period in October 1726, Taylor apparently concluded his affairs in Maryland in preparation for moving out of the colony. On October 26 he sold his home plantation; on October 27 he cleared the title to some of his father's land, which he had sold in the 1690s; on October 28 he and Elizabeth finally settled the estate of William Pickett (?-1710), and on October 29 he appointed Edward Day as his attorney to sell 150 acres of land surveyed in 1723. A secondary source indicated that Taylor may have moved to North Carolina; it is certainly probable that he left Maryland in early November 1726."

A Biographical Dictionary of the Maryland Legislature 1635-1789 by Edward C. Papenfuse, et. al. - Volume 426, Page 804:
"TAYLOR, JOHN (?-by 1737).
BORN in Baltimore County, of age by 1693; probably only surviving son.
NATIVE: second generation.
RESIDED: probably at "Taylor's Mount' near the Gunpowder River in Baltimore County.
FAMILY BACKGROUND: Father. Arthur Taylor (by 1648-by 1694), son of John Taylor (?-1676), Gent. Arthur immigrated in 1659 as a minor with his father, mother, brother, and sister.
married FIRST, by 1701, Jane (?-by 1710).
MARRIED second, between June 10 and August 3, 1710, Elizabeth, widow of William Pickett (?-1710).
CHILDREN. STEPSONS: William Pickett; George Pickett; and Heathcote Pickett.
DAUGHTER: Avarilla who married by 1726 Edward Day (?-ca. 1746).
STEPDAUGHTERS: Mary Miles; Elizabeth Pickett; and Temperance Pickett.
PRIVATE CAREER. EDUCATION: no literate in 1693, but could write his name by 1694. Neither his father nor grandfather were literate.
RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION: Anglican.
OCCUPATIONAL PROFILE: planter, 1693, 1694, 1705, 1726; carpenter, 1694, 1701; innholder, 1702, 1703.
PUBLIC CAREER. LEGISLATIVE SERVICE: Lower House, Baltimore County, 1722-1724. LOCAL OFFICE: commissioner for erecting a town at Joppa, Baltimore County, 1724.
MILITARY SERVICE: captain, by 1724.
WEALTH DURING LIFETIME. LAND AT FIRST ELECTION: probably 250 acres in Baltimore County (the remainder of at least 600 acres in Baltimore County inherited from his father), plus warrants and a certificate of survey for two additional tracts in Baltimore County totally 245 acres.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN LAND BETWEEN FIRST ELECTION AND DEATH: patented 150 acres of the previously surveyed 245 acres in 1720, plus another 150-acre tract surveyed in 1723, both in Baltimore County. In 1726, Taylor sold his home plantation of 250 acres and the certificate of survey for the remaining 95 acres surveyed in 1720 to his son-in-law Edward Day. He also authorized Day to sell the 150-acre tract surveyed in 1723.
WEALTH AT DEATH.
DIED: by 1737.
LAND: 150 acres in Baltimore County.
ADDITIONAL COMMENT: Within a four day period in October 1726, Taylor apparently concluded his affairs in Maryland in preparation for moving out of the colony. On October 26 he sold his home plantation; on October 27 he cleared the title to some of his father's land, which he had sold in the 1690s; on October 28 he and Elizabeth finally settled the estate of William Pickett (?-1710), and on October 29 he appointed Edward Day as his attorney to sell 150 acres of land surveyed in 1723. A secondary source indicated that Taylor may have moved to North Carolina; it is certainly probable that he left Maryland in early November 1726."
