Query A-2695: "nicholas Knapp, Emigrant Died Stamford, Connecticut 16Sep1670;
his wife Elinor died there 16Aug1658. The late Judge H. Stanley Finch, long
Surrogate Judge at Stamford and a keen student of Lockwood Finch and allied
families, gave his opinion that Elinor, wife of Nicholas Knapp, was daughter of
Edmund Lockwood of Combs, Suffolk, England and sister to Edmund
Lockwood(1600-1658) of Watertown, Massachusetts and Fairfield, Connecticut.
This seems probable though documentary proff is lacking.

Note for: Richard Taylor, ABT 1624 - 13 Dec 1673 Index

Individual Note:
From Ancestral File (TM), data as of 2 January 1996.

Richard Taylor (tailor) married Ruth daughter of Gabriel Whelden.Their courtship is listed in the book Dennis, Cape Cod by NancyThacher as the most romantic courtship in our early records. Richard"the Tailor" Taylor seems to have come to Yarmouth as a single man whosettled in the Fallands Pond neighborhood. The woman who attractedhis eye was Ruth, the daughter of Gabriel Whelden, who lived in thesame neighborhood. According to the laws of the colony, no man couldcourt a woman without first obtaining her parent's permission. Richardwas smitten by Ruth; however, when he asked her father for the rightto pay her court, he was refused. No reason has been discovered forWhelden's disapproval, but many a father can relate to a reluctance tosurrender a beloved daughter to another man. Richard was steadfast inhis affection for the maiden, while Father Whelden was just as firm inrefusal. Not to be denied the winning of the wife of his choice,Richard appealed to the magistrates in the court in 1646. Apparentlythe wise old men of the colony sided with the young suitor, for theyasked Mr. Whelden to reconsider Richard as a future son-in-law.Gabriel at last relented. The young couple were soon afterwardsmarried.His is first mentioned in the Colonial records as among those inYarmouth between 16 and 60 years of age able to bear arms in August1643.June 7, 1648, he was a surveyor of highways for Yarmouth. June 5,1651, he was sworn as a member of the grand jury.June 3, 1656, he was constable of Yarmouth. June 3, 1657, he was oneof the surveyors of highways there. That year he took the oath offidelity.In October 1659, he signed the verdict as one of a jury of inquest onthe death of Mary Chase of Yarmouth. Oct 6, 1659, he had custody of afirkin of butter formerly belonging to William Norkett and claimed byRobert Dennis.March 8, 1670-1, "Richard Tayler Tayler," for being in company withJohn Sprague and others about the beginning of December in the houseof James Cole of Plymouth the greatest part of the afternoon, "andsiting tippling with them, and by his psence abeting them in theireevill practices," was fined 10 shillings. The records states thatSprague gamed and brought a mare into the parlor and that it was "nearunto or on the evening before the Sabbath day."The fact that his will was made ten years before his death and was notsigned by him indicates that he was unable to write, althoughsometimes aged and infirm persons made a mark who were not illiterate.According to #48 Cape Cod History his wife perished shortly beforeDec. 4, 1673, in the wreck of a boat in which she had probablyintended to go from Yarmouth to Plymouth or Duxbury. A jury ofinquest was formed in Duxbury, where the boat appears to have beenfound, which rendered its verdict on the last-mentioned date. Thefollowing was the verdict: The jury of inquest appointed "to view acorpes found in a boate now racked, and being supposed to be the wifeof Richard Tayler, sometimes of Yarmouth, and to make diligent serchhow the said woman came by her death, doe judge, that the boate beingcase away, the woman was drowned in the boate."In Dennis, Cape Cod, Nancy Reid writes: "In the early winter of 1673they were drowned together in a shipwreck near Duxbury, leaving eightchildren as orphans.Last Will & TestamentIn the Land Book of Yarmouth (p.20) appears the following:"given and granted to Richard Tailor: Tailor his heirs & asines forevrthis 4th day of Feb. 1672 two small ilands of Creeke thach one lyingagainst ye said Tailors Meddows ye other against ye Medows of SamuellRiders these islands lying in ye creeke e
