Matthew Taylor, said to have been a distant connection of Sir George Carteret, came to New Jersey to speculate in lands, and dying in New York in 1687 without issue devised his lands to his brother Edward, then living in London. The latter came to America in 1692, and bought an additional tract of about 1,000 acres at Garret's Hill, Middletown, and settled on it. He died in 1710, leaving four sons and one daughter. George, one of his sons, resided at Garret's Hill, and died there, leaving three sons--George, Edward and John.--Hist. Monmouth Co., by Franklin Ellis, Philadelphia, 1885, 524. The John Taylor just mentioned, son of George, son of Richard, was born in 1716, and was known as 'Squire John. He lived at Upper Freehold. There was a John Taylor High Sheriff of Monmouth County in 1753, doubtless the same man, although the writer just quoted says the Sheriff was the son of Edward, and nephew of 'Squire John, which is obviously improbable. In 1754 he was an unsuccessful candidate for the Assembly.--N. J. Archives, XIX., 382. Being a man of large wealth, and presumably of influence in the community, he was selected by Lord Howe, when he came to America to offer terms to those in arms, to be "His Majesty's Lord High Commissioner of New Jersey." This arrayed his patriotic neighbors against him, and he was compelled to join his British friends in New York, while his property was applied to the uses of the Continental forces. His lands in Monmouth County were advertised to be sold in 1779. After the war he returned to New Jersey. He died at Perth Amboy, aged 82 years. His daughter Mary married Dr. Absalom Bainbridge, and two of her sons distinguished themselves in the War of 1812, in the United States Navy--Commodore William Bainbridge, and Post-Captain Joseph Bainbridge. The early education of the future Commodore was superintended by his maternal grandfather, John Taylor.--Old Times in Old Monmouth, 48; Life of Commodore Bainbridge, 3.
