Research Notes:

1677 Several accounts of Samuel Taylor recount Samuel came to America and settled and owned land in New Jersey, some with date as early as 1677. However, the 1677 deed for New Jersey land named brother William Taylor. A 1681 deed to William Black mentioned 1/32 for Samuel Taylor. The 1/32 was deeded by William Black to Samuel Taylor in 1684, when William would have been age 21. Several of the secondary accounts are summarized here. Samuel Taylor was an early settler who arrived on the flyship Martha from Bristol, England and settled at the site of the current city of Burlington, New Jersey [79]. He was one of the proprieters of New Jersey and owned one thirty-second share of seven undivided nineteenth parts in West Jersey [80] [81]. William Taylor, named as the brother of Samuel Taylor in two deed abstracts, had purchased this land from George Hutchinson in Dore, England and had sold it to Samuel. The papers were lost while at sea and the land was conveyed from Hutchinson in 1681. Samuel settled in Chesterfield in Burlington, County, New Jersey and owned large tracts of land in New Jersey [82] [83] [84] [85] [86]. Samuel Taylor may have immigrated on the ship Martha. [87] 1677 Samuel Taylor was a native of the parish of Dore, Derbyshire, England. [88] [89] [90] [91] [92] 1678 Samuel Taylor settled on 1200 acres in Chesterfield Twp, Burlington County, Pennsylvania. [93] Samuel Taylor, along with Thomas Foulke and others, was named as a leader who "instead of going west, as most did, came east and took up the rich lands along Crosswicks Creek", in Chesterfield Twp. [94] 1678 Samuel Taylor settled on 1200 acres in Chesterfield Twp, Burlington County, New Jersey. [95]

1687 Samuel Taylor, of West Jersey, husbandman deeded to Joseph Pope of Burlington, yeoman, "his town-bounds" of 12 acres, the 1/30 th part of a propriety in consideration 1£.6s. Deed dated 1 of May (month 3). Samuel Taylor had purchased the land of George Hutchinson 19 Mar 1684. [NJ Historical Society, Manuscript Group 410, Burlington County, New Jersey, item 410.57]

Samuel and Frances Horseman have been named as Susannah's parents and Robert Taylor was named as Samuel Taylor's father. [98] [99]

1686 Among witnesses to the wedding of Samuel Taylor and Susannah Horseman at Chesterfield were John and Sarah (Clows) Bambridge married 1685 in Bucks County [100]; John and Ann (Barret) Snowden married 1682 at Burlington [101]; Samuel and Elynor Hunter; Anthony and Francis Woodhouse [perhaps Susanna's mother and step-father]. Mary Horseman (relationship unknown) was named as daughter-in-law of Anthony Woodhouse when Mary was buried in 168? [102].

The biography of Peter Schaum reports Samuel, who died in 1623 in New Jersey, to be the same person as Samuel Taylor, baptized 1657 to parents John Taylor [103] and Catharine Bate. [104]
