Note regarding the dates in references from the Friends
Minutes: in this period the Quakers used the old Julian calendar
which started with the 1st month of the year in March, the 2nd month was April and so on.
That becomes very confusing in January and February which are the
first months of our year but the last of the previous year for the Friends.
So the Quaker date written in the meeting minutes as ‘the 10th
day of the 11th mos. of 1710’ would actually be Feb. 10, 1711 on
our calendar. Sometimes that
Quaker day would be transcribed as Feb. 10, 1710/11 to show the overlap between
the two calendars. I’ve opted
to show the Quaker dates as it appeared in the Friends reference as well as
in our modern format, for example, I use: ‘Mar. 13 (13th 1st
mos 1717) 1717’ in my family trees.

the Carlow Meeting when they wrote to the Mountmellick
meeting in support of his wish to marry Mary Devitt but in March 1785 he was
declared to be not in unity with the Carlow Meeting to which decision he
made no objection)
(Mary was accepted by
the Carlow meeting and remained in unity until she was
disowned by the Carlow Meeting in 1797 due to her lack of attendance after
being warned in 1796)

(But it doesn't explain this 1801

Perhaps the mother’s name was not given at the baptism and the priest
just looked up the marriage entry from 1795

Adam was living in 1750 when his son John had his parents approval to marry (Friends Source References)
Susanna was living in 1760 (the Carlow meeting
expressed concern that she was not attending meetings) but she was dead by 1766 (per lease
renewal by son John on their farm that year)
This tree is far from
complete. The following would fit into the tree somewhere:
Adam Taylor of Ballickmoyler, son
of William Taylor married Mary Tunstead a daughter of George Tunstead
on Feb. 21, 1852
at Killabban, Queen’s co.
He was a clerk of the County
Petty Sessions and lived on Burrin Street (Lot 21) in Carlow (Griffith work
books)
This Adam Taylor died May 16, 1887
in Ballickmoyler leaving Mary as his beneficiary.
