General Notes: Husband - Samuel Taylor


He was born in the eastern part of Pennsylvania and in his younger years learned the potter's trade, but left this vocation to engage in agricultural pursuits. He bought a farm in Little Beaver township, Lawrence County, and was interested in general farming the remainder of his life, dying when over eighty years of age. He was a Whig, and later went with the greater part of that political organization into the Republican party, of which he was a loyal member and active partisan. He served Lawrence County two terms as associate judge. He remained faithful to the teachings and doctrines of the Disciple Church. [BOBLC, 459]

He remained at home after his brothers had all left. Even after his marriage he continued on the old homestead for about ten years before he had a place of his own. From a settlement with his father, he was allotted 100 acres of land, where he spent the remainder of his days. From the time of this allotment everything he undertook proved successful. He accumulated wealth and acquired a large landed estate, and at the same time raised, educated and assisted to a start in life fifteen children, thirteen of whom were still living in 1895. He was honored by his fellow citizens by having twice been elected associate judge for Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, five years each term.
