Joseph Taylor to Thomas Taylor "of the County of Norfolk in Virginia"
150 acres on "Conneto Swamp" for the sum of 20 pounds

Adjacent land owners: Richard Taylor, William Borden, Holland

On the same day, Joseph also sells an adjacent plot of land to Richard Taylor

Thomas Taylor's connection to Joseph is not confirmed but could possibly be his brother. This deed also links Joseph to Norfolk County, Virginia, the presumed origin of Joseph Taylor, Sr.
