Mary Frances Taylor's Pedigree


 

ROBERT TAYLOR: According to tradition, oral history and manuscripts, the Anglo-American ancestry begins with Dr. Robert Taylor, who was born in London, England, near the beginning of the century.  His parents were born in Scotland and came to London to avoid religious persecution.  From the Taylor papers, it was learned that their son Robert was a graduate of Oxford College in Oxfordshire, England. Eventually, Dr. Robert established himself as a physician in Philadelphia.  Shortly thereafter, he was called to assist a badly injured man who had been thrown from a horse. When he arrived on the scene, he was surprised to see a handsome young lady giving assistance.  She was Philadelphia Adkins, who had witnessed the accident. Not long thereafter, Dr. Robert and the young lady married and to them four children were born.
