I used to have actual nightmares about “John Taylor” on Geni. But let’s give it another try.
I’m seeing evidence for 2 children only, Richard (died without issue) & Elizabeth Sallard.
I’m seeing evidence John’s widow Elizabeth married twice more.
And no real idea who parents are.
What do you think?

Carrell, William P. II. A New First Family of Virginia: John Taylor of Elizabeth City, Isle of Wight County, and Lancaster County, Virginia. American Genealogist (D.L. Jacobus). (2012-13) 86:37.
On 14 May 1662 (the date is given in footnote 40 on page 33), Elizabeth, "the now Wife of Toby Horton" confessed that 'Horton held cows "belonging to the Orphts. of John Taylor and Willm. Winterborne both long since deced ..."'
Birth year estimated based on approx. birth years of her husband John Taylor and her last child, and the fact that she had children from two marriages.

Record evidence establishes that to be the case for JT’s wife Elizabeth. Following his death, she married Tobias Horton, as the Record of cows due to the Orphans of John Taylor & William Winterborne and the Administration of Horton’s estate establish. The former record documented Elizabeth’s confession that her husband Horton held cows “belonging to the Orphts. of John Taylor & Willm. Winterborne both long since deced.” Her involvement in this proceeding all but indicates that, before Taylor, she was married to Winterborne.43
This conclusion is confirmed by the fact that, per the 1669 Estate of Tobias Horton, she had a “Sonne in Law,” Uriah Angell. As noted, Richard Taylor’s Estate establishes that his sister Elizabeth (Taylor) Sallard was his sole heiress in 1669. Thus, Angell cannot have been married to another child of John Taylor, since Taylor’s only surviving heir was Elizabeth Sallard. The term “son in law,” at this time, was used to refer to a step-son as well as its modern meaning.44 The latter is more likely here because Elizabeth conveyed Angell her one-third interest in JT’s land.45 She would not likely have been so generous if Angell were a mere step-son. So, it is reasonable to conclude that Angell was married to a daughter of Elizabeth by her marriage to a husband other than JT. Her marriage to Tobias Horton is not a possibility because Horton only names one daughter in his will, Rebecca, and she was married to Thomas Martin.46 Also, Angell’s only known wife was named Susannah. Thus, the relationship must arise from a marriage that Elizabeth had prior to JT, and William Winterborne is the only candidate.
