'In the 7 February 1624/5 Muster for Elizabeth City, Virginia, appear: John Taylor aged 34 in the Swan 1610 Rebecca Taylor aged 22 in the Margett and John 1623' [citing John Frederick Dorman, Adventurers of Purse and Person, 1607-1624/5, 4th ed., 1:59]
'... John Taylor, who came to the colony in 1610, and who can now be shown to be the same man who died some time before 10 January 1652/3, when his estate entered probate in Lancaster County in the Northern Neck.'
'A deposition of John Taylor of Elizabeth City, aged 37, was given on 23 June 1625 ...'
Since this deposition was given only 4 months after the Muster, it is possible that the age in one or the other of the records includes a transcription error, as mistaking 4s and 7s is not uncommon.
This article presents several pieces of evidence, involving land deeds, migration patterns in Virginia, and proximity of certain other individuals, to show that the John Taylor who arrived in the Swan in 1610 (as per the 1624/5 muster) is the same John Taylor whose will was probated in 1652/3.
Evidence is presented that John Taylor never lived in Lancaster County, although he had recently acquired land there, and his widow initiated probate there after being brought to Lancaster County by Tobias Horton, her next husband.
