Based on the estimated date of her first known marriage by June 1687, Ann Taylor was probably born before 1667. She was the daughter of Arthur Taylor.[1]
Ann Taylor married first James Greer in Baltimore County, Province of Maryland, before 6 June 1687, when her father Arthur Taylor conveyed 75 acres at Arthur's Choice to James and Ann Greer.[2][1][3]
James Greer died and Ann married second Lawrence Richardson before 1700, when Lawrence Richardson was identified in the Baltimore County rent rolls as holding the 75 acres of Arthur's Choice in trust "for the orphants of James Greear."[4][5]
Lawrence Richardson died before 13 June 1705, when Ann posted bond for the administration of his estate in Baltimore County.[6] She married third Oliver Harriott before 13 June 1711, when she is identified as Ann, wife of Oliver Harriott in the probate file for Lawrence Richardson's estate.[7][6][8] She is identified as "Ann Harriott," the mother of John Greer, in a 1714 land record in which she waived her dower rights in the 75 acres of Arthur's Choice conveyed by her father to her and her first husband James Greer in 1687.[9]
Ann Harriott died 13 May 1716 in Baltimore County, Province of Maryland.[10]
James Greer and Ann Taylor had one known child:
Based on the reference to the "orphants of James Greear" in the 1700 Baltimore County rent rolls, it is possible that Ann and James Greer at least one additional child whose identity is unknown.[4]
Ann Taylor and Lawrence Richardson had at least one child:
Ann Taylor and Oliver Harriott do not appear to have had any children together.
The estimated birth date is based on her first known marriage by June 1687. The Find A Grave memorial gives a date of 1662 but there is no gravestone image or any other source cited source for this birth date claim.
In addition to Thomas, a prior version of this profile attached the following additional children of Ann and Lawrence Richardson:
However, there is no source cited for any of these children. The only known child according to Barnes was Thomas, so these additional children have been detached pending identification of a reliable source for the claims.
