According to, Christopher Gerrard, Pam Graves, Andrew Millard, Richard Annis, and Anwen Caffell, Lost Lives, New Voices: Unlocking the Stories of the Scottish Soldiers at the Battle of Dunbar 1650, (England: Oxbow Books, 2018), on page 248, James is categorized as:

Definite [that he is a Dunbar prisoner transported on the Unity]

Taylor/Tayler/Tailor, James. Residences: Lynn, Springfield MA. Appears: 1653. D.aft.1690. [Banks; DR; SPOWS; Ch.7 & 8]23145

This James Taylor IS NOT the same as the SPOW John Taylor.

First Generation in the New World

1. JAMES¹ TAYLOR/TAILOR, was born in Scotland, possibly about 1630 and died on 27 Oct 1703. He married at Springfield, Massachusetts on 17 Jan 1667/8 (some records say 16666), MARY TAYLOR.7,8 Mary Taylor was born in 1649 and died on 18 Mar 1699/1700,9 the daughter of, Jonathan and Mary (_____) Taylor, of Springfield.

Biographical Notes:
James Taylor was one of the Scots on the 1653 Iron Works inventory, meaning he was definitely one of the men deported in November 1650 and sold as indentured servants and worked at the Saugus Iron Works in Lynn, Massachusetts. The list of names is not complete but for those whose names appear, it considered definite proof. (Follow the link above for the List of Dunbar prisoners further information.) As for how he came to relocate from Lynn to the next known location of Springfield, Hampden County, Massachusetts, which lies inland about 100 miles away, I wish to refer to Lost Lives New Voices. In chapter 7 there is an explanation for how the Iron Works was mismanaged, “…first by Leader then by Gifford, inevitably impacted on the daily lives of the Scots… a few were moved on to other employers…” The book goes on to explain how another of the Scottish Prisoners of War was relocated to Springfield by stating that “… John Steward departed for Springfield on the Connecticut River to work as a blacksmith.” John Steward was originally just a servant to Gifford but then trained at Hammersmith as a blacksmith, a valuable skill which lead to his being “…brought to Springfield by John Pynchon and given the blacksmith’s shop there in 1658.”10 Some similar circumstance could very well be what happened to James Taylor. He could have been relocated to the operation in Springfield by John Pynchon, due to his skill set, just like John Steward later was.
John Taylor was in Springfield as early as 1655, shown as “… one of men at Springfield who, on March 23rdd 1655/56 being a Trayning day… took the oath of fidelity.”11 James Taylor agreed to an indenture with John Pynchon from 3 Dec 1658 to 3 Dec 1659 and was provided with 1 pair of shoes and a pair of stockings, the shoes to be paid out once the time of servitude was complete. After 3 Dec 1659 he continued to work for Pynchon, earning pay for carting wood and cleaning stables. (SEE IMAGE ON PAGE 2) James Taylor is in the census of 1661 in Springfield. James Taylor is in the census of 1661 in Springfield.12The Pynchon Papers, dated approximately 1665, show that James Taylor purchased a horse for 3 pounds13 and he had a debt of 5s on 16 Jan 1666 for a frying pan.14 He married 17 Jan 1666 to Mary Taylor and the marriage was performed by John Pyncheon. “I wonder if the frying pan was a present for his wife since the date of debt was the day before his marriage date.” ~ RB James Tailer signed a Petition Against Imposts on 02 Dec 1668 along with his father-in-law, Jonathan Taylor.15

Further about this exciting connection.
I got to James Taylor working backward from his descendancy. I am his 7th great-grandson, or so I think. My line (which is on WikiTree as you may already have seen) is:

1.Dr. Halsey Bullen, my father, m. Sarah Hyatt in Scarsdale, New York
2. Benjamin W. Bullen, m. Margaret “Dade” Slater, in Black Brook, New York
3. Jeduthan Bullen, b. in Black Brook, New York, m. Amanda Church Avery in Wilmington, New York
4. Elizabeth Emmons, b. in Bloomfield, Vermont, m. Samuel Bullen, b. in Keene, New Hampshire, removed to Vermont then to Jay, New York;
5. Elihu Emmons m. Martha Adams, perhaps in Woodstock, Vermont (weakest link in the line)
6. Benjamin Emmons, b. Brookfield, Massachusetts, m. Elizabeth Smith in Hinsdale, New Hampshire, removed to Vermont and then St. Charles, Missouri
7. Mary Petty, m Robert Emmons in Springfield
8. Mary Taylor, m. John Petty in Springfield
9. James Taylor, m. Mary Taylor in Springfield

From James Taylor forward, we have (I think) all of his children based on Springfield vital records, and some of the descendants of his son Ebenezer and his daughter Mary. But nothing yet connected beyond that.

I and other WikiTreers would love to add more, based on your Society’s knowledge, and we would of course give full citation credit to the Society for every fact cited. We could also add links to the Society’s site if you desire that.

With regards,
Halsey Bullen
