Life in New England

  • 1669.5.2: Edward Rice Constable of Marlboro certified that James Taylor "lives from Family Government" (I do not know what this means) (Massachusetts Court Records)
  • 1675.4.24: Credited under Capt. John Jacob of Hingham (NEHGR 42:102 (1888) “Soldiers in King Philip’s War”) (James b 1607 would have been 68 and not likely to have served at such an advanced age; more likely this is referring to a younger James Taylor-- say, he who married Sarah Newton)
  • 1675.10.1 (Marlborough): assented to and acted upon agreement to apportion town ammunition to soldiers of the town. (NEHGR 8:241 (1854) “Indian War Papers”; see also NEHGR 40:316 (1886) "Soldiers in King Philip's War") Again, likely to have been the younger James Taylor.
  • 1688: A James Taylor paid taxes in Marlborough. A William Taylor was also so listed. (NEHGR 36:191 (1882) “Taxes under Andros”) The fact that James Taylor (likely of Concord) is listed as paying taxes in Boston the year before also supports the notion of a separate, younger man in Marlboro.
