Family:James Taylor and Isabel Tompkins (1)

Documented Children

1. Henry, b 21: 8m: 1648; died two months later (mother = "Isabel")
2. Samuel b 21 Jun 1656 (mother's name is listed as "Elizabeth" in Concord VR)
3. Thomas, b 12 Jul 1659; died a few months later (mother = "Elizabeth in Concord VR)

Possible Additional Children

Shattuck (History of Concord, p 395) says only that James and Isabel had several children, none of which he names.

Where are the children likely born between their 1641 marriage and the 1648 birth of Henry, and then between 1648 and 1656? (Note: Concord VR indicates lost pages/records during this time!)

UPDATE: We now know that at least as of 26 Nov 1686, he had only one son -- Samuel: a land deed from him to “my only son Samuel Tailor”. See FHL #0554003, Land Deeds - Middlesex County, Volume (Book 10), page # illegible, dated 26 Nov 1686.
