=== Research Notes by Pamela Pearson
I have a copy of his will, which doesn't differ in substance from the abstract by Ida Lee. Robert Taylor gave his "son-in-law" Daniell Welsh the remaining time his servant, J--- Taylor, had to serve; if Daniel died before the time was served, then the remaining time to his wife and "child she goeth with." His "well loved friend" Richard Parrott was asked to look after the same (wife and child) after his decease. Other than the servant, his wife Margaret was given the remainder of his estate - and she was to be his sole executrix.
My thoughts: There is no mention in his will of other children. Perhaps the children you have listed go with a different Robert Taylor. I have also found no mention in the court records re: the guardianship or estate of Robert Taylor's child. His unborn child likely did not survive
