1. TAYLOR, JOHN; of Wind., 1640; a juror 1641-4; Nov. 24, 1645, having "fully intended and prepared for a voyage for England," he made a will, leaving to his "daughters-in-law." to be divided equally among them, "all my land that lyes on ye East side of ye great riv- er in lieu of my engagement with them upon my marriage, and that my wife shall trayne them up until they come to ye age of eighteen years & my sd wife to have ye benefit of ye sd land until yt time." He gives his wife and two sons his house and lands in Wind .; this will was presented for probate by son John, 1694; there is a tradi- tion in the family that John, soon after making his will, sailed from New Haven and was lost at sea; this tradition is doubtless true; he embarked on the famous "Phantom Ship" which sailed from New Haven for England, Jan., 1645-6; for an account of its ghostly re- turn see "Mather's Magnalia" or Hist. of Nfd., p. 553.
