HI,

Can you disconnect Simpson Taylor, Charles Taylor and Jacob Taylor from Rachel Minshall Taylor as children. They were born after Thomas' death in Pennsylvania. His widow remarried in 1707 to Litler. See his profile for sources.

Thanks, Caryl

Minshall-17 and Minshall-1 appear to represent the same person because: CLEAR DUPLICATE: Same birth and death dates and places. Rachel married Oldham after Taylor died. No conflicting parent duplicates.

According to the old Quaker calendar prior to 1 Jan 1753, the 4th month was June, not April. (See: http://ftp.rootsweb.ancestry.com/pub/roots-l/genealog/genealog.quakerc1)
