I have no direct family connection to the Taylor name, though Markham, Wass, Jordan etc. there are all closely related.. However my research of the numerous local pioneer families has brought many Taylors into the family lists. For that reason, and since one of my main objectives of my website is to build up early records of the Lachlan River/Milburn Creek area and make them available to anyone researching their genealogy.
If any readers feel able to note errors or omissions, or to give me historical reports to fill out this page, I would be grateful.
The first Taylor was Adam. He was convicted in Derby, England in March 1818 and transported -seven years – in 1819 on the ”BARING”. In 1825 in Parramatta NSW, he married Sophia Elizabeth Newham, born in Windsor, NSW, (daughter of Richard Newham – 14 years York Assizes 7 Mar 1801; arrived on “HMS GLATTON” in 1803, Conditional Pardon 31/1/1813.) Adam ad Sophia had nine children, the oldest of whom, Mary Annetta, married William Fogg in Gundaroo, NSW in 1842.
The Markham,Taylor, Newham and Fogg families, among others, all listed elsewhere on this site, down through the generations, are part of the early local Lachlan area histories.
