    "TAYLOR, Abraham (1656-1729) & Mary WHITAKER (1662-1756); 16 Dec 1681; Concord". Torrey's thoroughly researched compendium confirms their specific marriage date, that Concord was their only known residence, and their birth and death years.

    On page 9, an agreement dated 11 Feb 1699 [1700] in the town records of Billerica shows that the boundary between the towns of Concord and Billerica was re-established (by boundary stones/markers), and Abraham Taylor, as one of several men with lands adjacent to the boundary line, assented.
