== Biography ==
I have not been able to find any evidence of a Richard Taylor in this time period who came to Virginia from Inverness Scotland or anywhere else in Scotland. Most of the other information here duplicates that of the Richard Taylor who came from England.[[Day-1904|Day-1904]] 20:57, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

Because there was more than one Richard Taylor in this time and place, it is sometimes difficult to ascertain which facts are associated with which person. Facts whose assignment is unclear are shown under Research Notes.

==Research Notes==
===Disambiguation===
The following persons are different but could be easily confused:*[[Taylor-15732|Richard Taylor-15732]], born 1574, no spouse named, died 1672, father of [[Taylor-15730|Richard Taylor]], born Virginia 1631.*[[Taylor-23673|Richard Taylor-23673]], born 1574, married Rebecca Tomlin and Dorothy Taylor, died 1624, father of [[Taylor-10284|Richard Taylor-10284]] born Virginia 1621.
IT SHOULD BE NOTED: The Richard Taylor and his descendants described in An American Taylor Family, cited below should not be misconstrued with this family. That work is cited here and elsewhere for Charles City and Jamestown Richard Taylors for purposes of disambiguation and clarification. That book is related specifically to [[Taylor-10284|Richard Taylor-10284]]. DNA has proved there is no connection between the families.
===Children===
[[Taylor-10284|Richard Taylor, Jr]] was previously shown as the son of [[Taylor-23673|Richard Taylor, Sr.]], born 1574 in Invernessshire, Scotland and [[Taylor-23674|Dorothy Taylor]], born 1589 in Kent, England. They were disconnected because there is no documentation for such a relationship, while there is strong evidence that the parents of [[Taylor-10284|Richard Taylor, Jr]] were [[Taylor-50032|Symon Taylor]] and [[Berryman-1|Constance Berryman]] of Leicestershire, England]]
===Ancient Planters of Virginia===

Richard and Dorothy had at least two children:##Mary, Mary, b. 1620 (something is wrong because the parents were married in 1628 and the article states she came to Virginia on the boat at the age of three, with her mother; possibly the date of the marriage is incorrect).##Richard, b. 1621 in Farnham (Parish, Richmond Co.) VA. He married Sarah Cornet (some question her surname) in 1661.He died 22 March 1679 in Farnham; she died 23 March 1688.
