Colonel William Tayloe also known as William Teylow, was a British immigrant, colonist, and planter, from Gloucester, England, who emigrated to the British Colony of Virginia and resided in York County. His coat of arms matches those of Teylow in Gloucester, England.[1][2]

Marriage

Tayloe married Elizabeth Kingsmill, daughter of Richard Kingsmill. They had no children. Following Tayloe's death, his widow married Nathaniel Bacon, cousin of Nathaniel Bacon.[3] Elizabeth Bacon is buried in St. Paul's Churchyard, Norfolk and her grave shows the Kingsmill and Tayloe arms. Through his nephew, however, Col. William Tayloe, of Richmond County, progenitor of the Tayloe's of Mount Airy, Richmond County, Virginia, he has numerous representatives in Virginia.
