Research Notes

Taft Notes 2022

Margaret, daughter of Nicholas, not shown the wife of John Jackson (bef.1602-1675). A previous version of this profile associated two child profiles, both Margaret, daughters of Nicholas Taft (abt.1584-1629)--one as Margaret Taft (1618-1684), said to be the wife of John Jackson (bef.1602-1675); the other, Margaret Taft (1617-), who was/is linked as the daughter of Nicholas and Margarett (Tast) Taft (1587-1617). Profile of Taft-19, the wife of John Jackson, is being severed as a daughter here; John's wife will be recreated as Margaret Unknown.

Other. There are other unsourced and conflicting reports of her death:

FindAGrave records a death date of March 18, 1617. This date is unsourced and clearly conflicts with sources of her birthing children until 1625.

An earlier version of this page recorded a death date of March 18, 1627, in London, Middlesex, England but without any clear source.
