Austen became enamoured of Taylor, who had "such beautiful dark eyes", writing two years later "We went by Bifrons and I contemplated with a melancholy pleasure the abode of Him, on whom I once fondly doted."[3] In 1800, Taylor was a captain in the Romney fencible dragoons.[2] In 1807, Taylor was elected Member of Parliament (MP) for Canterbury. He held the seat to 1812.[4] Taylor died aged 68. Taylor married Louisa Beckingham, daughter of Rev. J C Beckingham of Bourne, Kent in 1802.
