George Watson-Taylor (1771 – 6 June 1841), of Saul's River, Jamaica, was a plantation owner and Member of Parliament (MP) at Westminster.

As MP for a number of constituencies, where he was brought in without contests, he supported the Tory administration, and campaigned for the retention of slavery.

There the seat was controlled by Sir Leonard Worsley-Holmes, 9th Baronet, who returned family members and "friends of government".

[6] On arrival in the House of Commons, Watson-Taylor was immediately elected to the standing committee of the Society of West India Planters and Merchants.

In this case Watson-Taylor bought a half-interest in the constituency, from John Leach, sharing the seat with Charles Rose Ellis.

In 1820, Sir Edward Buller, 1st Baronet, retired as MP, bringing in Watson-Taylor, with Thomas Potter Macqueen, as loyal to the Liverpool administration.

[10][11] He began his career as a member of the committee of West India planters and merchants, and opposed the abolition of slavery.

[16] In 1830 he arranged to have privately printed Pieces of Poetry: With Two Dramas, a collection of his short poems, some of them humorous or parodies of other works.

[10] In 1810, Watson married Anna Susanna, daughter of Sir John Taylor, 1st Baronet of Lysson Hall, Jamaica.

[10] Considerable wealth came to him from the Jamaican sugar cane plantations of Sir John's brother Simon Taylor, who died in 1813.

The couple bought a landed estate in Wiltshire for £200,000, and a house in London which they renovated, the total cost coming to £68,000.

[21] She died unmarried in 1892 at Erlestoke Park, Wiltshire, leaving £69,000, owner of Headington Manor House, Oxfordshire.
