Sainty & Johnson; 1828 Census of New South Wales: Page 363.... [T0169] Taylor, John, 48, free by servitude, Coromandel 1, 1798, 7 years, Protestant, labourer, York Street Sydney. [T0170] Taylor, Ann, 50, free by servitude, Sydney Cove, 1806, 7 years, Protestant [T0171] Taylor, Margaret, 17 born in the colony. [T0172] Taylor, Elizabeth, 14, born in the colony.
1825 muster (1823-1825) Taylor, John, free by servitude, Coromandel 1802, 7 years, landholder, Seven Hills. Wilson, Ann, free by servitude, Sydney Cove, 1807, 14 years, wife of John Taylor, Parramatta Wilson, Margaret, Sydney Cove, 1807, daughter of Ann Wilson, Sydney. ## [also] Taylor, Margaret, 26, came free, Sydney Cove, 1807, daughter of John Taylor, Parramatta. Taylor, Elizabeth, 12, born in the colony, daughter of John Taylor, Parramatta. ## ALSO Taylor, Charles, 20, came free, Sydney Cove, 1807, son of John Taylor, Parramatta. Taylor, James, 19, came free, Sydney Cove, 1807, son of John Taylor, Sydney. It all seems a little mixed up - We have John and Ann and then Margaret (is she entered twice? Was there a daughter Margaret with Ann on Sydney Cove?) Then the daughter Elizabeth and the two step sons, here named Taylor but actually Martin should be the name. PETITION TO THE GOVERNOR Memorials To The Governor, 1810-1826 Text: ...The respectful memorial of James and Charles Martin, - sheweth That memorialists came out with their mother seventeen years ago then infants at her bosom. That they are now arrived at the age of eighteen years and reside with their father and mother at Dural.

New South Wales 7th August 1823
John had a long term relationship with Ann Wilson (Convict, 1807, "Sydney Cove"). Ann had arrived in the colony with 2 young children from a relationship in England. She and John had 3 children in the colony.
## There were actually 3 convicts by the name of John Taylor transported on "Coromandel" in 1802. This makes it very difficult to ascertain exactly which John is referred to: However, this is the John Taylor, tried in 1797 at Wiltshire and sentenced to 7 years. The 1811 Muster clearly identifies him.. [Ref 5703 page 123] Taylor, John, Coromandel, Tried Wiltshire, 1797, 7 years (PRO n1424).
