Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed
the Declaration of Independence?
- Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and
tortured before they died.
- Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.
- Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another
had two sons captured.
- Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the
Revolutionary War.
- They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and
their sacred honor. What kind of men were they?
- Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants,
nine were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means,
well educated, but they signed the Declaration of Independence
knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were
captured.
- Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw
his Ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his
home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags. Thomas
McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move
his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without
pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were
taken from him, and poverty was his reward.
- Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall,
Clymer, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.
- At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the
British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for
his headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to
open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy
jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.
- John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying.
Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his
gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in
forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his
children vanished.
Most of us take these liberties so much for granted, but we
shouldn't. So, take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of
July holiday and silently thank these patriots. It's not much to
ask for the price they paid.

On page 12 it mentions a record during the trial of Rowland
Taylor which indicates that he had 9 children. It mentions that
five of his children were deceased and names them: Susan,
George, Ellen, Robert and Zachary. It mentions that the trial
record does not name the living children and goes on to try and
identify the living children. It identifies the following living
children: Thomas, Anne (who married William Palmer), Elizabeth
and an unknown child which is said to maybe have been an adopted
daughter, Elizabeth. No Edmund is mentioned (but theoretically,
he could have been a 9th child).
Rowland and Margaret Tyndale Taylor were the parents of nine
children:
1. Susan Taylor; b. ca. 1527; d. before 1555
2. George Taylor; b. ca. 1529; d. before 1555
3. Ellen Taylor; b. ca. 1531; d. before 1555
4. Robert Taylor; b. ca. 1533; d. before 1555
5. Zachary Taylor; b. ca. 1535; d. before 1555
6. Anne Taylor; b. ca. 1537; m. William Palmer
7. Mary Taylor; b. ca. 1539
8. Elizabeth Taylor; b. ca. 1541 (adopted)
9. Thomas Taylor; b. 15 Sep 1548; m. (1) Elizabeth Burwell, (2)

Rowland was born in Rothbury, England in 1509. He was educated
at Cambridge as a Doctor of Civil and Canon Law. He lived in
Hadleigh wherethe Catholic Bishop of Winshester burned him at
the stake in 1555.(Although sometimes spelled the same,
Hadleigh, east of London, shouldnot be confused with Hadley,
northwest of Birmingham. Hadleigh was in theportion of Suffolk
County that is now Essex County).
"The Taylor Family Directory" 2000/Third Millenium Edition -
edited by Lynette and Bill Everson.
*********************************************
A stone marker lies still at the site of his burning that simply
says (in Modern English) "1555: Dr. Taylor, in defending that
which was good, at this place left his blood"

Dr. Rowland Taylor was beaten and burned at the stake in
Hadleigh, England 9 Feb 1555 for his religious beliefs.
LDS data shows Rowland Taylor had more than one wife. His mother
was Susan Data Rowland. His father was John Taylor.
Children: (1) Susan b. 1535; (2) Ellen b. 1537; (3) Robert b.

The Life and Family of Rowland Taylor, L.L.D.
In his book, The Life of Rowland Taylor, Rev. William James
Brown said the Taylor name was not common in England at the time
of Dr. RowlandTaylor. It has been established by many sources
that Taylors were in England from the time of William the
Conquoror 1066, being decendants of Baron William Taillerfer,
who accompanied the King of England and died inthe Battle of
Hastings. For his heroic deeds in battle William Taillerfer and
his brother, Foulques, also in battle, received large lands
andestates in County Kent, England. The name Taillerfer changed
over the years so by 1400 it was Tailor or Taylor.
***********************************
From the 1911 Edition Encycopedia:
TAYLOR, ROWLAND (d. 1555), English Protestant martyr, was born
at Rothbury, Northumberland; he took minor orders at Norwich in
1528 and graduated LL.B. at Cambridge in 1530 and LL.D. in 1534.
Adopting reformed views he was made chaplain by Cranmer in 1540
and presented to the living of Hadleigh, Suffolk, in 1544. In
Whitsun week, 1547, he preached a "notable sermon " at St Paul's
Cross, and was given the third stall in Rochester cathedral. In
1549 he was placed on a commission to examineAnabaptists, and in
1551 he was appointed chancellor to Bishop Ridley, select
preacher at Canterbury, and a commissioner for the reform of the
canon law; in 1552 Coverdale made him archdeacon of Exeter.
Apparently he advocated the cause of Lady Jane Grey, for on the
25th of July 1553, only six days after Mary's proclamation as
queen, he was committed to the custody of the sheriff of Essex.
He was released not long afterwards, and with the support of his
parishioners offered strenuous resistance to the restoration of
the Mass. He was consequently imprisoned in the King's Bench
prison on the 26th of March 1554. The sturdy protestantism of
Taylor and his flock, who seem to have caused various
commotions, marked him out for the special enmity of Mary's
government; and he was one of the first to suffer when in
January 1555 parliament had once more given the clerical courts
liberty of jurisdiction. He was sentenced.
Dr. Rowland Taylor was educated at Cambridge University where he
specialized in ecclesiastical and civil law. He received an LL.B
degreein 1530 and an LL.D in 1534.
In 1544 he was appointed Rector of Hadleighin County Suffolk at
a time when England was still in religious turmoil over Henry
VIII's break with the Church of Rome. Dr. Taylor was
enthusiastic in support of the Protestant cause. He was active
in support of the Church of England, serving as a member of many
church bodies such as a commission for the reformation of
ecclesiastical laws.
Following Henry's death in 1547, his sickly, only son held the
throne until his death in 1553. Then his daughter Mary Tudor, a
fervent Catholic, succeeded to the throne and set about
restoring Catholicism to England. Rowland Taylor, by his active
opposition to the Catholic church, must have made himself
peculiarly obnoxious to Mary for he was arrested by the sheriff
of Essex on July 25, 1553, only six days after her proclamation
as Queen. He was later released and allowed to resume his
ministry at Hadleigh. Perhaps the final breaking point came when
he strenuously objected to a Catholic priest performing mass in
his church. On March 26, 1554, he was again arrested and sent to
up to London where he was imprisoned in the king's bench. The
following January he was condemned to death, excommunicated and
sent back to Hadleigh. On February 9, 1555, he was burned at the
stake on Aldham Common outside Hadleigh where there is a stone
memorial to commemorate the event. Another memorial to his
martyrdom is a stall in the choir of the Cathedral at Bury St.
Edmunds. The "Dictionary of National Biography" related
that"Taylor was a man of ability and learning .. the beau-ideal
of a parish priest, and his unblemished and attractive character
has made him one of the most famous of the martyrs who suffered
in Mary's reign. He is commemorated in many popular poems."
Dr. Taylor and his wife, Margaret, had nine children, four of
whom survived him. He is buried in the Hadleigh Cemetery.
