Elizabeth might have been his second wife, in which case she may not be the mother of Rebecca.
John Taylor I, died January 1652. His widow Elizabeth married Tobias Horton. Tobias was transported to America by Sarah Cloyden, a widow, who claimed Headright land on Isle of Weight County, Virginia, May 28, 1638.
Tobias was a surveyor, a wealthy planter and prominent businessman. He owned large tracts of land called "Wetherby's Land" located on Corotoman and Haddaway Creeks. He bought 1,400 acres from Francis Morrison, which was originally owned by John Taylor.
On October 10, 1654 Tobias Horton and wife Elizabeth hired Hugh Brent and Teague Floyne to make inventory of John Taylor's estate. It included "3 old Bibles and 70 other books". The value of the estate was 9,590 pounds of tobacco. On July 1, 1659 Tobias Horton paid John Taylor's debt, 6,173 pounds.
On November 12, 1662 Teague Currell bound himself to Tobias Horton to pay 8,000 pounds tobacco at 1,500 pounds a year, for which Tobias sold him 100 acres of land between Tabbs and Nutypoyson Creeks. Elizabeth, wife of Tobias, asked her son-in-law Uriah Angell to acknowledge the sale. At Lancaster County court on May 15, 1663 Elizabeth requested that cattle which belonged to John Taylor be given to his orphans.
Haddaway Creek where Tobias Horton, Sr. owned land was named by Thomas Gaskins, Abraham Moore and Rowland Haddaway when they explored the area January 21, 1659, intending to take up land. They found Indian cabins on it. Corotoman Creek issued out of Fleets Bay and Tobias owned land on its banks. The Indian town of Wiccomoco was located on the south side of Corotoman.
