It is not clear whether or not Eleanor would have been related to her brother-in-law Samuel Taylor (but note that Samuel Taylor was born in 1727 in NH and married there whereas Eleanor supposedly married in Ireland). He apparently did not leave Ireland with all his siblings but did move to New England in 1757. By the time they moved to Truro in 1762, they had six sons and four daughters and they later added two more daughters. He was a Grantee of Truro Township and one of the first elders of the Presbyterian Church. He built his own house in Truro in which he lived for the rest of his life. He died on 15 July 1774 (confirmed by 4; his age given as 55), the first Church member to do so. We found the graves of he and his wife in August 2005 (4), both in quite good condition. His wife's gravestone reads: "Here lies the body of Eloner [sic] Archibald wife to Samuel Archibald who departed this life on the first day of May 1781 aged 57 years". Samuel Archibald, Senr., the second of the four brothers who [ Begin page 54] removed from Londonderry, Ireland, to New England, about the year 1757, and thence to Nova Scotia, and arrived in Truro December 13th, 1762. He was born in the year 1719. He was married to Eleanor Taylor about the year 1743, fourteen years before they left Ireland. (She was born in the year 1724). They had six sons and four daughters before they came to Truro, and two daughters born in Truro. He was one of the grantees of Truro Township. He built his house on his house lot, being near the same place where his grandson, David W. Archibald, now resides, where he spent the remainder of his days. He was one of the first elders of the Presbyterian congregation. He died July 15th, 1774, aged 55 years. This was the first breach made by death in the church session. His wife, Eleanor Taylor, died May 1st, 1781, aged 57 years. Miller's Book on Colchester
