Three of his children are shown to be born after he died. Is this the case or did his wife remarry and the new husband is the father? Or are all three children's birth dates incorrect?

I'm not awake the my great-great-great Thomas Taylor was a Captain. He was born 10-1802 and dyed 2-16-1874. He live in Bustleton PA

This matter needs to be researched further. I'll look into it.

.Anne Elizabeth Eastham born after the death of her father Capt. Thomas Taylor.

Mary Taylor born after the death of her father Capt. Thomas Taylor.

These still need to be addressed.

Children are listed in the overview. There is Little real proof for any of them.

Thomas is shown as son of Thomas Taylor (son of Rowland Taylor the martyr) and Elizabeth Burwell. These relationships are found in unsourced trees on the web, and (without good sourcing) in two privately produced family histories available on the web: one by William Taylor Wittel (dated 2000)[7] and the other by E Stuart Gregg (dated 1975)[8] Both of those works have substantial errors for martyr Rowland Taylor and his family. There appears at present to be no reliable evidence for Thomas Taylor the martyr's son being husband of Elizabeth Burwell and father of the Thomas of this profile.

William Taylor Wittel's family history work gives Thomas’s birthplace as ”Hadley, Middlesex, London", with no source. The place does not exist, and presumably this is a mistake for Hadleigh, Suffolk.[7]

Pennington Castle

Pennington Castle, near Ulverston in the Furness district of the historic county of Lancashire, is given not only as one of the suggested possible birthplaces of Thomas, but also as birthplace of two of his children. This is unlikely.

It is said, citing an Ancestry tree as source, that three of Thomas’s children emigrated to America on the Truelove in 1635. The ship made two known voyages that year. One was to Bermuda, with a passenger list dated 10 June 1635 and including Anne (24), James (28), Richard (16) and William (17) Tayler, with no indication of their parentage or precise relationship to each other.[11] They were almost certainly members of the same family, but there must be uncertainty about whether they were children of Thomas. The other voyage was to Massachusetts, leaving September 1635, with a George Tayler/Tyler age 31 on board.[12]
