Read More	John Taylor, was a native of England (note: he reported he was born in Pennsylvania on all his census records), and came to America with his parents when a child, and was reared and educated in Somerset County, Pa (note: His wife was from Somerset, he was from Bedford County). He married Margaret Shaffer, of German descent, and soon after moved to Stark County, Ohio, where he worked at his trade (carpenter), and opened a farm in the new country. He subsequently sold his farm in Stark County, with the intention of moving West, but, not liking the country, bought land in Summit County, Ohio, where he lived ten years, and in 1847 moved to De Kalb County, Ind. He was a local preacher in the Methodist Episcopal church, and a man whose opinion was always valued on matters of interest to the public. He was a Justice of the Peace twenty consecutive years, and his advice was always to have peace with as little strife as possible. The wife of his youth died in Stark County, Ohio, in 1833. They had a family of ten children, nine of whom are living. In 1835 Mr. Taylor married Elizabeth Stokely, widow of Joseph Stokely. She had a family of three children. Mr. Taylor died in 1870, and Mrs. Taylor in 1861. From the Biography of John Taylor's son, E.H. Taylor, pages 942 / 943 / 944. History of De Kalb County, Indiana.

They became the parents of Jane A., Philip, Nathan, Edward, Mary, William, Joh, Sarah, Frances and Margaret. After the death of his wife, Margaret, he married Mrs. Elizabeth Stokely, widow of Joseph Stokely, of Stark County, Ohio, on Apr. 30, 1835 in Stark County.
