Or could have even have been a previous marriage of this Nicholas.
No sign of marriage to Elizabeth either, although there was a marriage in Headcorn:

Was it this Nicholas and a previous marriage?
No sign of dth of Sarah.
If there were 2 Nicholases there is only one burial, could be either: 22 May 1683. "Agriculturist" - Latinisation of farmer or does it imply more?

Father Nicholas TAYLOR, b. Abt 1617, Hollingbourne, Kent, England , d. May 1683, Headcorn, Kent, England (Age ~ 66 years) Mother Frances BARLING, b. Abt 1616, Headcorn, Kent, England , d. 1673, Headcorn, Kent, England (Age ~ 57 years) Married 1643 All Saints’ Church, Ulcombe, Kent, England - Marriage info assumed from marriage licence, and from Charing transcribed data (on CD 25) not showing the marriage.
The family appear to have moved from Hollingbourne to Headcorn between 1645 and 1650. Headcorn burials seem to be missing in the PRs from Aug 1643 to Dec 1662 (judging by KFHS transcribed data), so the two children of whom nothing more is known may have died young in that period.
Marriage License 29 Mar 1643 Canterbury, Kent, England - "Tayler, Nicholas, of Ulcombe, yeom.,
ba., about 25, with his mother's con-
sent, his father being dead, and
Frances Barling, s[ame]. p[arish]., v[irgin]., about 28,
d. of [blank] Barling, alias Godfrey.
who 'is expresly consenting to this intended m[a]rage'. At Ulcombe or
Charing. Thomas Port of Cant.,
innholder, and Thomas Barham, s.
p., tailor, bonds. March 29, 1643."
(from Cowper, 2nd series, col. 969)

Family Elizabeth CATT OR KNIGHT, b. Est 1645, (possibly), Headcorn, Kent, England , d. Yes, date unknown Married 2 May 1678 St. Michael the Archangel’s Church, Smarden, Kent, England - From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 18 Mar 2020)
"May 2d Secundo Die Maii, Nicholas Tayler et Elizabetha Catt, Ambo de Hedcorne, nuptial contratiebant."
One entry on FamilySearch, from BTs or ATs shows Elizabeth as a widow. An Elizabeth KNIGHT married Thomas CATT in Headcorn in 1668, and a Thomas CATT was buried there in 1675, so it seems likely that Elizabeth was born Elizabeth KNIGHT - more research to be done.
Whilst I show this marriage as of Nicholas, son of Nicholas and Frances, it could be a subsequent marriage of the Nicholas who had been married to Frances.
** at present I have not seen burials in Hollingbourne, even in transcript form - one or more of the children of Nicholas and Frances might have died in infancy **
