The Family of James Taylor - James Taylor, the immigrant to Virginia, came from Carlisle, England. He appeared in Virginia about 1680, and signed the petition for the removal of the Vestry of St. Stephen's Parish, and by 1686, he was established on land which he purchased, which was located on Whorecock Creek (now called Garnett's Creek), which is on the upper side of the Mattopony River.

He had a family before he settled in King & Queen, who came with him to Virginia. His first wife died in 1682, and he married for his second wife, Martha, daughter of Richard Gregory of Essex County. This alliance had something to do with his settlement in this area, for the Gregory's had land in this section.

James Taylor, the first, died in 1698.

James Taylor, the younger, spent his early years in St. Stephen's Parish where he was born in 1675. In 1699, he married Martha, daughter of Col. Roger Thompson, of St. Peter's Parish, New Kent County. James Taylor was recommended to the governor to be justice of the county court, but was too young to serve. Later, when of age, he became a justice, sheriff and was

Bean, Theodore. History of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA: Everts & Peck, 1884.  missing pages 133-138.

Among the various nationalities that settled Montgomery County the German was an important one, and their descendants at this day within its limits are the most numerous. In less than a year after the landing of William Penn a colony of Germans, chiefly from Creisheim and Creyfelt, arrived in October, 1683, and shortly afterwards founded the village of Germantown. The Proprietary had been among them in their native land, and encouraged them to come. Here liberty of conscience had now been proclaimed, and an exemption from tithes, though neither was tolerated in Great Britain, or even to a very limited extent along the valley of the Rhine where also were the frontier lines of powerful France, and the frequent wars of Germany, the results of which combined were all powerful incentives to emigration to those more peaceably and liberally disposed. To facilitate this a company was organized at Frankfort-on-the-Main, and numerous pamphlets circulated throughout Germany in the language of its people, setting forth the peculiar advantages of the distant colony. Hence it need not be a wonder that the weaker of the persecuted sects were disposed to come first, for not matter however strong the attachments of nativity, the Fatherland presented from their experience in the past no bright or sanguine future.
