Sir John Taylor, Lord of Shadockhurst and Elizabeth Chute: The place name has also been spelled "Shadochurst" and "Shadoxhurst", which is located about 3 miles from Ashford in County Kent, England. His ancestry has been described as followed:
"Baron Taillefer, Norman Minstral of Wm the Conqueror, led the charge at Hastings, going into the Battle singing the Old War Songs; For his great services, he was given large landed possessions in the county of Kent, which descended to his posterity during the Reigns of Henry III, Richard II, Henry IV and Henry V. His descendants became the Earls of Pennington, who bear the same arms as those brought to VA by James Taylor, the immigrant, and now in possession of the family"
E. C. Meade, Genealogist
