TAYLOR FOR NEWS transcribed As far back as I know of my ancestry, my grandfather, Lambert Darland, was born in Georgia in an early day and served in the Revolutionary War. I do not know the date, but he moved to Kentucky sometime shortly after the war. His son, Abraham Darland, my father, married Rebecca Reynolds in 1819. I was their oldest child and was born in Mercer County, Kentucky in 1820. My parents were members of the Old School Baptists. In 1821 they moved to Parke County, Indiana, in a two-horse cart, entering land and locating twenty miles from a post office or mill. There were no conveniences for schools for many years. At Rockville, ten miles away, I received my early education, which was quite meager, as I only attended a few summer terms of school. In this county and the adjoining ones, the red men were quite numerous but very peaceable and people lived and experienced the same troubles and hardships as other new countries of similar surroundings. In 1839 I was married to Phillip D. Taylor, son of John Taylor, of the same vicinity where my parents resided. We remained in Indiana living on a farm till 1854, when we moved to Iowa, locating on land near Agricola, now Barnes City, in Mahaska County, Iowa, where we began to clear out a farm and make a permanent home. We were reasonably prosperous and enjoyed good health, except that my husband was troubled with heart disease. He was industrious and bought and paid for a good home, consisting of a 250-acre farm with fair buildings and well-stocked. On July 13th, 1866, my husband died of heart trouble while working in the field. We were blessed with twelve children, seven daughters and five sons. One son and daughter have passed over the river of death and the other ten children are all married and doing for themselves. In November 1868, I became a member of the Pleasant Grove Church of Mahaska County, Iowa and was baptized the same day with two others, and have been a member of the same church ever since my first connection. After my husband's death, the two oldest sons took hold of the work and acted like men in providing and carrying on the business of the farm. My children are now residing in different states of the Union, one in California, one in Washington, two in Missouri, two in Kansas and four in Iowa.
