Biography
Martha is said to have been a daughter of James Taylor I and his first wife whose name is unknown, and is said to have died in infancy, but there are no surviving records of her (or of any child of James Taylor I's named "Martha"). The family bible for James Taylor I shows only three children by his first wife: Jane, James, and Sarah. [1]

Taylor-8282 and Taylor-2739 appear to represent the same person because: same dates, research is needed once this profile is merged to assure that the places are correct
Nancy: The only way this Martha, born 1670, could be a daughter of James Taylor I is if she was by his first wife who is unknown. Please correct the profile and add a source, or remove James Taylor and Mary Gregory as her parents. Thanks!
I can find no source for James Taylor I and Mary Gregory having a daughter named Martha. James Taylor II married a Martha Thompson (b. 1679), and they had a daughter named Martha (b. 1702) who married Thomas Chew.
