David Taylor fourth son of Robert and Mehitabel Wilson Taylor was born in Truro Nova Scotia July 24 1 801 At the time of the removal to Ohio he was five years old and he assisted in the construction of the house on Walnut Creek serving as errand boy Before arriving at manhood he engaged in enterprises for himself devoting his energies principally to the stock business After the settlement of the country the increase of domestic animals was rapid but owing to the great distance from centers of population and the absence of transportation facilities it was difficult to turn them to commercial account and they were allowed to range in the woods David Taylor was one of the first to take advantage of the opportunity thus offered for profitable ventures and became actively concerned in the organized business of getting the cattle and hogs out of the woods and driving them over the mountains to the eastern markets During the years 1820 27 he made eighteen trips of this sort frequently with large herds He was successful and as his profits accumulated he invested them in lands which were brought under cultivation as soon as practicable Inured from his earliest boyhood to vigorous outdoor pursuits he was splendidly adapted by physical constitution to endure their hardships and exhaustions standing six feet and three inches correspondingly proportioned and powerfully built and enjoying throughout his active career the most perfect health He ate when it was convenient and rested when the work on hand was finished There was scarcely a limit to his endurance On one occasion of great emergency he rode on horseback from Cleveland to Columbus in midwinter without stopping except to feed and change horses He was continuously in the saddle two nights and one day and made the distance of about one hundred and forty miles over winter roads without sleep or rest Another time in November 1822 after escaping to the shore from a shipwreck on Lake Erie he made his way alone through deep snow in a country then an absolute wilderness to Fort Meigs Perrysburg a distance of forty miles This performance greatly surprised even the hardy frontiersmen then about Fort Meigs From Fort Meigs he continued his journey through the black swamp following the Indian trails until he reached the Wyandot village where Upper Sandusky now stands and thence on to Columbus From the Raisin River in Michigan to a point near where the town of Tiffin in Wyandot county now stands he broke the trail through the deep snow a distance of more than one hundred miles He always considered the hardships and hazards of this trip greater than any he was ever called on to endure As a young man he was an active and efficient member of the Franklin Dragoons occupying the position of commanding officer from 1824 to 1828 For some twenty years this was probably the most notable military body in the state of Ohio The company served through the War of 18 12 under Captain Joseph Vance and its organization was subsequently maintained in full effectiveness It consisted of sixty mounted men each of whom was required to keep a good horse and uniform No member could be admitted except by election and dismissals were likewise made by majority vote At the celebration held near Newark Ohio to signalize the beginning of excavation of the Ohio Canal the Franklin Dragoons under the command of Captain Taylor acted as the escort of honor to Governor DeWitt Clinton of New York and Governor Morrow of Ohio David Taylor lived with the paternal family in the old house on Walnut Creek until his marriage in 1826 when he built and occupied a dwelling of his own still standing about one quarter of a mile north of the old house In 1843 he completed and moved into the much finer residence which is now known as Westcrest and is the country home of his son Henry C Taylor From April 1858 until his death July 29 1889 at the age of eighty eight he lived on East Broad Street in the city of Columbus He always took much interest in agricultural matters and for many years was president of the Franklin County Agricultural Society and for six years was treasurer of the Ohio State Board of Agriculture Throughout life he was an earnest and consistent member of the Presbyterian Church serving as elder some sixty years and contributing liberally to its support and to the cause of religion generally In character he was known for integrity justice in all his relations consideration for the rights of others and dignity though great kindliness of nature In a memoir of his life by one of his sons the following tribute was paid to him He had large dealings with all classes in the community and no man can say that he wronged him He was a just and generous man His back was never turned upon the poor nor his hand closed against the needy Deeds of kindness charity and generosity characterized his whole life and made him trusted by all who knew him In the last days of his sickness when it became known that his end was approaching scores of those whom he had befriended or who had been in his employment or tenanted his farms came to see him often bringing with them their little children who had been born since he was able to go about among them The tenants upon his farms regarded him in the nature of a father and always sought and relied upon his advice and he regarded them with special interest He helped them in their troubles sympathized with them in their misfortunes adjusted their differences and encouraged and directed their efforts With them his word was law and his judgments were final In him they felt they had a wise and safe counsellor and friend and for him they had great respect David Taylor married first September 1826 Nancy T Nelson Children 1 Eliza
