The Hobbs Daughters?

"(John Taylor) married … a widow, Rhoda (-----) (-----), who had two or more daughters by a former husband. … It is probable that these girls used the name of their stepfather Taylor and that they died before maturity, for one called "Hannah Taylor daughter of John" died at Windsor in 1650 and others who may have been of this family, called Abigail and Anna Taylor died there in 1643 and 1644-5 respectively."[2]
