Notes:

BIRTH: Date and place of birth are approximations. John is identified in the will of his mother, Agnes Davis, widow, of Acton Turville, 10 Mar 1587, proved 9 Jul 1589, Consistory Court of Gloucester, orig wills, 1589, #2 (FHL #091384). As executor and residual legatee it is probable that John is the eldest son.
MAR #1: The identity of this wife cannot be determined with certainty. She died before 17 Jul 1624 when John married his 2nd wife. She is probably the Agnes Davis buried at Acton Turville, 23 Jan 1622/3. Ann Davis is mentioned in the undated will of John's brother, Thomas Davis of Acton Turville, proved 3 Mar 1623/4, Consistory Court of Gloucester, orig wills, 1623, #120 (FHL #091398). No relationship is stated in the will, but Ann is mentioned immediately following his bequest to John. The names Ann and Agnes were used interchangeably during this time.
MAR #2: Acton Turville BTs (FHL #417098).
DEATH: No death/bur rec found. See the will of John Davis of Acton Turville, Apr 1625, proved 21 Nov 1626, Consistory Court of Gloucester, 1626, #144 (FHL #091400).

John married (Agnes?) about 1589 in of Acton Turville,,Gloucs, Eng. (Agnes?) was buried on 23 Jan 1622/1623 in Acton Turville,Gloucs,Eng. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

BUR: Acton Turville BTs (FHL #417098).

Notes:

CHR: Thornbury par reg (FHL #414766). The entry does not include the names of John's parents. John's mother is identified as Mary in his will, below. Mary's burial entry calls her the sister-in-law of Thomas Tayer who died in 1573, thus excluding Thomas as the father of this John. Thornbury baptismal entries suggest two Tayers were having children in the parish during the period 1558-1573 - Thomas and John. With the exclusion of Thomas, it appears that John's father is the John Tayer who was buried in 1584 and who appears in various baptismal records as a godfather, as administrator to the estate of Joan Follet in 1576, and in manorial court recs. No other Thayer has been identified in Thornbury during the period who could be the father of John.

John married Lawrence, Joan on 3 Aug 1589 in Thornbury,Gloucs,Eng. Joan (daughter of Lawrence, James and Hilpe, Cicely) was christened on 29 Oct 1570 in Thornbury,Gloucs,Eng; died after 1626. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

CHR: Thornbury par reg (FHL #414766). The entry does not include names of parents. It is concluded that Joan is the dau of James Lawrence and his wife Cicely Hilpe (married Thornbury, 5 Sep 1569) for circumstantial reasons:
1. James Lawrence was godfather to Joan's son, John Tayer, in 1591.
2. John Hilpe, Sr, and John Hilpe, Jr, appear to have familial connections to the family of John Tayer in his will in 1600. Cicely Hilpe, wife of James Lawrence, is a dau of John Hilpe, per the will of Richard Hampden of Thornbury, 7 Jan 1550, proved 22 Jan 1551/2, P.C.C., 2 Powell (FHL #091926).
3. Joan Shipman, widow of John Tayer, owned land in Thornbury formerly in the tenancy of John Hilpe (Thornbury Manor Court Rolls, 28 Sep 1626, Bagot Collection, Staffordshire Record Office, D(W)1721/1/6, by corr with Clive Beardsmore, Birmingham, Eng, 5 Feb 1993).
4. Alice Hilpe, apparently the wife of John Hilpe, Sr, was godmother to Cicely, dau of Thomas and Joan (Lawrence) Tayer.
MAR #1: Thornbury par reg (FHL #414766).
MAR #2: No mar rec found. She is called Joan "Shipman" in manor court rec, 28 Sep 1626, above.
DEATH: No death/bur rec found. Joan was living on 28 Sep 1626. See manor court rec, above.
