Biography

Willamina/Wilhelmina Lyons was probably born before 1763. The names of her parents have not been proven.

Willamina married Charles Philpott Taylor about 1778, probably at Frederick County, Maryland. Their eldest known child was christened there in 1779. Willamina was identified in a family history kept by her descendants.[1] The file has not been viewed by this researcher, but data from the file was published in two books tracing some descendants of the Philpott family of Charles County, Maryland: Meet Your Ancestor by Noland Bowling, [2] and We Are Our Ancestors by Alice Bruce Stubbs.[3]

Willamina was, likely, the female age 26-44 who was listed in the household of Charles Taylor on the 1800 U.S. Census at Frederick County.[4]

It appears that Willamina died before January 1806 as she was not named in any of her husband's estate records. The place of her burial is unknown.
