COMMENTS: George L. Randall in Taber Genealogy: Descendants of Thomas son of Philip Taber (New Bedford, Massachusetts, 1924) made a number of erroneous claims which, although they may not have originated with this author, have been picked up by others. [1] Philip Taber first appears at Plymouth in 1630; there is no evidence for this, and the first record for Philip is in Massachusetts Bay in April 1634, implying arrival no later than 1633. [2] Philip Taber and Lydia Masters were married on 21 December 1639; this is in fact the date of her father's death and merely establishes a date ante quem for the marriage. [3] Philip Taber had a daughter Esther who married _____ Mayhew; there is no evidence that any member of the Mayhew family in the seventeenth century had a wife Esther, by any surname. [4] Philip Taber married second Jane Latham, sister of Cary Latham; Cary Latham's wife was also a daughter of John Masters, and it is through this connection that Latham and Taber were brothers-in-law.
The hypothetical dates of birth for the children are based on dubious evidence. Many secondary sources state that Philip, Thomas and Joseph were baptized together in 1646. No primary evidence has been found for this statement, but in the absence of more useful evidence, these items will be used to structure this family.
The dates of birth were derived by first assuming that John was the oldest, then that the next three children were born at two-year intervals, and baptized together in 1646. These three children are listed here in the order that they are listed among the baptisms; this is consistent with the approximate dates of marriage for Philip and Thomas. Since Lydia was not stated to be among those baptized in 1646, she was most likely born later, and placing her birth in 1648 would make her sixteen at marriage, a reasonable age.
Many sources state that Philip Tabor died in Tiverton, but he apparently died in 1672 or soon after, at a time when Tiverton had not yet been settled, and his widow remained in Providence for another decade. The confusion presumably arises since some descendants of Philip Tabor did reside in Tiverton.
Since Philip Tabor received a grant of land at Watertown in 1636, but did not participate in either of the grants of 1637, he must have left Watertown late in 1636 or early in 1637. This was, however, before the settling of Yarmouth, so his whereabouts for a few years immediately after 1636 remain unknown.
