Research Notes

There is no source for Sarah's maiden name. However there is evidence she was married to Bernard Taylor:

In 1738, James Taylor, son of Bernard and Sarah Taylor was born December 15th and baptized February 18th.^[1]

Sarah, the wife of Bernard Taylor has been mistaken as the daughter of Arthur and Sarah (Hancock) Moseley. Their daughter Sarah married a Mr. Walker, as named in Arthur's will written in 1729.^[2] About 1740 there was a deed from Joel Walker to John Williamson wherein Sarah, wife of Joel Walker, relinquished her dower right.^[3]
