Small RPA / MCA addition: Date of death for wife of Edmond
James W. Hawes hides this fact very well in his genealogy, _Edmond
Hawes of Yarmouth, Massachusetts_, but see p. 130, which indicates that
the Yarmouth records show that the wife of Edmond1 Hawes died 19 July
1689.

Re: Small RPA / MCA addition: Date of death for wife of Edmo
Another possible small addition to the RPA-MCA entry on Mr. James1
Taylor of Boston and Lynn ...
http://books.google.com/books?ie=UTF-8& ... cca&pgis=1
(a particular volume of _Publications of the Colonial Society of
Massachusetts_), which seems to show that Mr. James Taylor's second
wife was "Rebecca Clarke, a daughter of Captain Christopher Clarke of
Boston, merchant, who was admitted a freeman in 1673 ..."
(Once the page displays, search for the word "Christopher" in the
"Search within this book" box to get the rest of the sentence to
appear).
"Christopher" apparently was an important name for Mr. James Taylor,
being the name of his father and of his father-in-law, as well as of
his son.

Something I posted a few years back ...
W. L. Grant, James Munro, and Almeric W. Fitzroy, eds., _Acts of the
Privy Council of England, Colonial Series_, vol. 2 (1680-1720), p. 748:
"[1302. 29 Aug. 1718, Massachusetts Bay.] Reference to the Committee
for Appeals of the petition of Christopher Taylor of Boston, gent.,
eldest son and heir-at-law of James Taylor of Lynn, deceased, for
liberty to appeal from the decree of the Judge for Probate of Wills,
confirmed by the Governor and Council, 20 Feb. 1717, approving a will
made by his father after he was deprived of his reason; whereby the
petitioner's stepmother, Rebecca Taylor and her daughter, Sarah, are
executors."

Re: Small RPA / MCA addition: Date of death for wife of Edmo
I wonder about one of those other little blurbs of text dealing with
the death of his daughter Elizabeth. It looks like it reads "Elizabeth
Taylor my daughter died the 24th October 1674," with "age 18" written
to the side. Someone aged eighteen in 1674 would have been born in
1656. According to RPA, James Taylor himself was only born in 1647,
making it impossible he was the father of an eighteen-years-old
Elizabeth who died in 1674.
Of course it's hard to judge, from the few disconnected blobs of text
available, what "age 18" refers to. It might even read "age 8," or
refer to some fact in connection with the year written directly above
it, "1655."
But this points up a fact, that _Publications of the Colonial Society
of Massachusetts_ may contain valuable data which has been overlooked
(as with both the _Collections_ and _Proceedings_ of the Mass. Hist.
Society).

Re: Small RPA / MCA addition: Date of death for wife of Edmo
Although Savage's _Dictionary_ claims his dau. Elizabeth was BORN 24
Oct. 1674 ...

Did she die aged "18 days" ... possibly ...?

I later realized that someone born in 1655 would be aged 18 in 1674
until her birthday (when she'd turn 19).
Maybe someone could be a love and report what the source says?
IF, however, this James had an eighteen-year-old daughter in 1674, he
couldn't be the man born in 1647. I notice that Savage's _Dictionary_,
on the page already mentioned, shows a "[TAYLOR], JAMES, Reading, may
have been that surveyor, much employ. in 1671 and 2, d. at R[eading].
1703."

I remember that Gary, when first reporting on James Taylor, the "new"
immigrant of royal descent, mentioned that he was a surveyor. However,
Douglas, in RPA and MCA, does not state that James Taylor of Boston and
Lynn was a surveyor.
Is is possible there were two Jameses? Reading is fairly close to both
Lynn and Boston and may have played into the confusion.
Just a (perhaps baseless) speculation ...

This person was a "surveyor of woods in America by 1717" ...

I wonder if the notation "1655 / age 18" doesn't refer to the birth
year and age at marriage of his first wife Elizabeth (they were married
in Jan. 1673 [or would that be Jan. 1673/4])?
