Robert TAPRILL, called Mr., mariner, proprietor of Portsmouth, married Abishag Walton (dau of George1 Walton) after 1659. He was a Wittness Champernowue to Walton, 1661. In 1672 they where living in Boston in Alexander Waldron’s house. She seems to have left her husband and returned to her father's house at Newcastle soon afterward, opening a shop to maintain her family. Robert Taprill was captain of the pinke Hopewell in 1676 when he was sued for wages by Francis Pallet, and of the ketch Providence when he died at sea in Nov. 1678.

Sergeant Israel3 Hoyt (Thomas2, John1) was born in Salisbury July 16, 1678. Israel Hoyt married Grace Taprill, daughter of Robert and Abishag (Walton) Taprill of Newcastle. On August 17 and October 15, 1713, two warrants were issued against Israel Hoyt “for setting up a house upon the Queen’s highway leading from Bloody Point to Welchman’s Cove.” The return on the first warrant was non est inventus. To the second no return was made. This last failure of record may indicate the date of Israel Hoyt’s death. His wife, Grace Hoite, owned the covenant of the Newington church and had her children baptized on June 14, 1719. [The author goes into other records]

Robert Taprill was one of the proprietors of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, in 1660. He was a mariner. The name, which is also spelled Taperell, is met with in the New England records
with extreme infrequency, and, inasmuch as the seventeenth century clerks, like their contemporary descendants, were liable to occasional error, it seems probable that the William Taprill, who testified in Hampton Quarterly Court in October, 1650, that he had served a summons on Humphrey Chadborne for his master, George Walton, was the Robert Taprell who subsequently married Walton’s daughter.
Abishag Walton was unmarried when she witnessed a deed for her father in 1659, J and the date of her wedding is uncertain. Taprill was at Great Island in the summer of 1661 and witnessed a bill binding Mr. Francis Champernowne to pay twenty-six pounds to her father.§ They were married before 1663, however, when she was presented at the Quarterly Court, as Abishag Taperill, for not attending meeting for several months, from which we judge that she also inclined to the Quaker belief.

Robert Taprill; Taperell Portsmouth, mariner, proprietor, 1660. Wife Abisha, d. leaving a nuncupative will dated Jan. 25, 1678-9, left children, not specified by names.
