Amhle and Hauxley. By J. C. Hodgson. 279 



May 1650, from John Taylor and Edward Browell of four acres of 

 land in Amble field. lu 1663 Edward Browell was rated for 

 lands of the annual value of £10 — rfth part of township or one 

 farm or husbandland. In 1722 Edward Browell of Amble voted 

 for lands there. This estate must soon after have been absorbed 

 in one of its neighbours, probably Taylor's. 



Taylor's Estate. — Edward Taylor and Barbara Taylor were 

 both complainants in the suit of 1615, and Eobert Taylor's 

 name appears as holding copyhold lands in 1630 to the annual 

 value of £1 Os. lid., and John Taylor occurs in the Eate 

 Book of 1663 as owner of lands of the annual value of £10 

 — equal to a 'farm' or husband land. — The names of various 

 members of the family appear in the register of burials of 

 Warkworth,*^ during the two last decades of the 17th century, 

 towards the end of which this estate belonged to Martin 

 Taylor. He was buried 5th September 1711, leaving issue 

 at least three sons, John, the eldest, Robert Taylor of Amble, 

 joiner, and Thomas Taylor of Guyzance, ploughwright. The 

 eldest son, John,^° succeeded his father, and voted as a free- 

 holder in Amble in 1722 and 1748, and in 1 763 sold or mortgaged 

 lands there to John Widdrington of Hauxley for £1440: three 

 years afterwards he was buried in Warkworth Church.'' He 

 left two sons, Martin, his heir, and a younger son, Thomas. 

 Martin voted as a freeholder in 1774, made his will in 1782, 

 and died same year, leaving a widow^^ and apparently but one 

 child, a daughter, Maria, born September 1764. Miss Taylor,
