May be descended from Earls of Pennington who derive from Baron Taillefer who came with Wm. the Conqueror and fought at the Battle of Hastings. I can find no source to confirm this, but supposedly a professional genealogist made this connection. The work was done for my Uncle Seldon Menefee in the late 1940's. I do not have his work. Glenna Inglis

See MyFamily.com, Vetty Decker's site for extensive research on Taylors. Others support descendancy fromTaillefers. James Taylor had a seal ring which is still in possession of a descendent and was brought by James when he emigrated to the colonies. It matches the description of of the Taylor Crest, created from Taillefer; the theory is Taillefer's shortened name to Taylor @ 1400

From Menefee Family Forum: posted by Mary Thompson 9-30-1997:

Another Chew researcher has kindly given permission to use the following information: [rashultz@erols.com]: Quote:,
ELIZABETH CHEW m. JONAS MENEFEE
Her mother was Martha Taylor [b. 1-17-1701/02- d. bef 1761] and her father was Thomas Chew [no dates]. Her maternal grandfather [my 8th great grandfather] was James Taylor II of Royal Governor Spotswood's "Knights of the Golden Horseshoe" who was among the first explorers of the Virginia frontier. He gained the patent to much of what is now Orange County, VA, which is quite close to Culpeper, if you are familiar with the area. She would have been a first cousin, once removed, to both presidents James Madison and Zachary Taylor. Her siblings were Alice, Colby, Frances, Hannah, James, Joseph, Larkin, Mildred, Samuel, and Thomas.

Martha Taylor's parents: James Taylor II b. March 14,1673/74 d. January 23, 1729/30 in Bloomsbury, Orange County, Virginia. Martha Thompson, b. 1679 m. February 23, 1699/00 d. November 19, 1762. [By the way, their daughter, Frances Taylor married Ambrose Madison, father of James Madison Sr, father of President James Madison].
____________________________________________________________________
James II parents: James Taylor I b. 1635 in Carlisle, Lancaster County, England d. April 30, 1698 in King & Queen County, Virginia m. Frances Walker b. before 1668 and d. September 22, 1680 in VA. Unknown if married in England or colonies, or if she was his first wife. Most researchers seem to think so.

Other note...if you go down the Taylor line far enough, you find President Zachary Taylor!! What a family!

Ancestor of James Thomas Whisenant:

Worth S. Ray in his 1950 publication "Tennessee Cousins, A History of Tennessee People" elaborated on the Lincoln County and their possible lineage from James Taylor "of Caroline County" as he was known, and who, according to family tradition was twice married, and came to Virginia from Cumberland County, England. This information was again stated in "From Log Cabins to the White House" by Mary Taylor Brewer. This compiler has been unable to prove or disprove the descendancy of Edmund from James of Carlisle.

Speculation exists that Edmund married Sarah Brooking. Another speculation exists is that Edmund married his first cousin, Sarah Gregory, daughter of Burgess Richard Gregory of Essex Co., VA. who was brother to Mary Bishop Gregory Taylor and uncle to Edmund. Richard Gregory left a will in 1701 in Essex Co. that mentions his daughter, Sarah. She inherited land as the will provided "700 acres lying upon the head of Mattaponi adjacent land of Capt. James Taylor". In 1719 Edmund and Sarah Taylor sold to Henry Reeves land called "Gregorie's swamp".

Lease and release: for 120 pounds lawful money of Great Britain. 500 acres on the south side of Rappahannock River in Southfarnham Parish, 400 acres being a patent of 744 acres granted to James Taylor, Gent., Dec., father to the said Edmund Taylor, 2 Oct 1687 and by the same James Taylor's last will given to the said Edmund...and the other 100 acres being a part of the same patent bought of Edward Eastham, 26 Aug 1719... a branch of the north side of Gateswood's rolling road...Thomas Evans' corner...land of the said Edmund Taylor bought of Edward Eastham....John Burnet's line...Wit: Samll. Clayton, Wm. Winston, Alex Somerville. ; Edward Eastham Jr. married Anne Taylor, half-sister to Edmund.]

In 18 Sep 1719: Sarah Taylor of St. John's Parish, King William County, appoints Wm. Beverly of St. Ann's Parish, Essex County, her attorney to acknowledge unto Henry Reeves, Senr. of Southfarnham Parish, Essex County, her right of dower of 500 acres.

In some genealogical publications, Edmund has been reported as the ancestor of the following Taylor men, but according to their descendants their correct ancestory is listed below:

a] Edmund Taylor, born 16 Aug 1741, who married Anne Day. This Edmund is the son of George Edmund Taylor and Lucy Crump, son of James Taylor and Lucy Crump, grandson of James Taylor and Elizabeth Peasley of New Kent County. VA. and founder of Taylorsville in Hanover County, VA.

b] James Taylor married Eleanor Smith, daughter of Samuel Smith and Grissel Locker of Prince George County, MD. and Bedford County, VA. In 1785-86, James was the administrator of their estate in Bedford County, VA. James was the son of William Taylor and Mary Hughes. William and his brother came early to America with Lord Baltimore.see notes, verification

xi. JOSEPH TAYLOR, b. February 19, 1742; d. Unknown; m. FRANCIS ANDERSON; d. Unknown.

Someone once pointed out to me in the Madison Co. Records that there were two Joseph's this would be most likely be one of them as Anderson's were highly concentrating the Madison Co. area. There was an Anderson Taylor. Anthony Madison Taylor too. I think he is the son of Anthony Taylor of the Rev. who died in 1782 of smallpox who's son William Taylor traveled west with William Sexton living both of them in Whitley Co. Ky. William sexton married Mary Polly Price wife of Samuel Taylor. Littleberry came later when he became of age. I think he headed towards the Mississippi by way of central ky. Then at the Ohio in Western Ky. Hopefully they located each other in central Ky. before he went on. before the civil war people could write better so maybe they did stay in touch by way of the churchwardens, before he set out for the west from northern Va. from the Erasmus Taylor Bible:
