Sorry . When I used "copy & past" I copied the wrong message. The
following is more up to date.

Still searching for the parents of William Taylor, 1759-1847, who is buried
in Wescott Free Cemetery, Main St, Mays Landing, NJ. His tombstone is
difficult to read, his birth may have been in 1759 (from cemetery records in
historical society). The Methodist Church burned down about 1880 with records. His
wife may be Ann. I believe his marriage was in 1781 and first daughter was
born in 1793. One son was Edmund, buried in the Presbyterian Cemetery, another
son, John. Another son was Alexander Taylor, a blacksmith, who lived at
"Kate's Landing", Mays Landing, named after his wife, Katy Pfifer.
Alexander was the father of John Pennington Taylor. These people had large
and interesting families. Most of this early Taylor family were buried in
those two cemeteries. I've done extensive research on this family but can get no
further back than William, my 4th ggrandfather.

I have been told that William may have come from the Cape May County George
Taylor family but can find no proof so far. We strongly suspect he may have
come from England or Scotland. Family lore is he was English. If anyone can
help with this query on William, I would be glad to share. TIA.
