In Old Virginia by Claudia L. Bushman (from the Journal of John Walker);p.14

Baylor was the scion of a closely related, complicated, and ingrown family with members being Walkers, Temples, Fleets, Hills, Baylors, and Semples.

Life described by an English visitor in 1732 likened the plantations and gentry as similar to the Thames from London to Richmond with manor houses and pleasant gardens. He also noted the Stratton Major Parish of the Church of England as having extreme class differentiation where the most noble families sat in the front of the church, and the lesser gentry behind them.

Baylor married Frances HILL 25 May 1759, King and Queen Co. VA. Frances (daughter of Colonel Humphrey HILL and Frances BAYLOR) was born 25 May 1759, Hillsborough, King and Queen Co. VA; died 1795, Rye Field (Locust Grove), King and Queen Co. VA. [Group Sheet]
