Biography

Mary was born on 29 June 1688 in that part of New Kent County that would become King and Queen County, Virginia in 1691, the daughter of James Taylor and Mary Gregory.

1) A comment by Deborah Barber (contributor #47746291) states in her note of 10/30/16 that there is NO document for Mary's middle name of Bishop. However, the "U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900" shows her name as Mary Bishop Taylor, so it shall remain.

2)I have declined an edit request to change her surname from Pendleton to Watkins. The Watkins marriage was a second marriage for both. Mary is buried in the same cemetery as her first husband, Henry Pendleton, and not with Edward Watkins. Both spouses are linked to her memorial.

In 1701 when she was just thirteen, she married Henry Pendleton and bore him six known children, four sons and two daughters:

1. Mary Pendleton
2. Edmund Pendleton
3. James Pendleton
4. Nathaniel Pendleton
5. Isabella Pendleton
6. John Pendleton

Mary also had the following child:

1. Unknown Pendleton

In 1779, when she was in her early nineties, or possibly on 10 June 1770, shortly before her eighty-second birthday, Mary died of unknown causes in Bowling Green, Caroline County.

Mary Taylor is recorded (without the middle name Bishop) in the Erasmus Taylor family Bible as having been born 29 Jun 1688. She married Henry Pendleton and died 10 Jun 1770.^[1]

This Mary had a younger sister named Mary who was born 15 Nov 1686 and died in infancy.

Birth Place: New Kent, Virginia, USA
