Note: The information about this John Taber and his descendant line is incorrect in the Taber genealogy cited below. This has been disproved. That erroneous line was apparently based on the assumption there was no other John Tabors in Dartmouth that could be this man's except the Jonathan, son of Philip, born in 1712. What he missed was that this John's birth was not recorded, but occurred after his father wrote his will in 1717 but before he died in 1727 and the "missing" John was named in his mother, Susanna's will.
John Taber married at least twice, first to Mary Taber who was born 24 Aug 1719 in Tiverton. She was the mother of his daughter Mary. He married second, Sarah ____, probably about 1743, but some researchers give him a third wife.
His will is dated 29 August 1787 and proved on 5 November 1787 in Tiverton, Rhode Island.[1] His inventory heading mentions he was a blacksmith and was taken on the 3 November 1787.[1]
Birth
He married Sarah (Unknown).
He and Sarah had a daughter, Priscilla, on 28 Jul 1746, in Rhode Island [2].

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with John by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with John:
