General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Taylor


According to a French genealogist, the original ancestor of the Taylor family was one Wulgrin, grandfather of William Taillefer, who was created Count of Perigord and Angouleme in Normandy by his kinsman, Charles the Bold of France. According to Burke's History of the Landed Gentry of England, the Norman baron Taillefer accompanied William the Conqueror in his invasion of England in 1066, and fell in the Battle of Hastings. The name has been variously spelled, from Taillefer, Taliaferro, Taylefer, Taylard, and finally modernized into Taylor. It is common in England and Scotland.
