Here's the story of the Matthew Taylor family from "The History of Franklin and Pickaway Conties Ohio with Illustrations and Biographical Sketches of Some of the Prominent Pioneers (see pages 441, 442). "Matthew Taylor, and family, emigrated from Nova Scotia in 1800 and settled in Chillicothe, where they remained until 1806, when they removed to this (Franklin) County. Mr. Taylor entered several sections of land and settled near the mouth of Alum Creek, in this township. He erected a grist and saw mill, a short distance above the mouth of the their creek and continued their operation until his death in 1812; this wife died the same year. They were buried on their farm, and were the first persons buried in that vicinity. They had a family of 11 children. John A. married Elizabeth McKnight of Green county, Ohio; afterwards, came to Columbus and was an early surveyor, being with General Foos; eventually he removed to Missouri where he died in 1823; his widow return to Franklin county, and died here. They had three children, the only survivor of whom is Mrs. James Taylor of Truro township. The other children of Matthew Taylor were James, Matthew, Elizabeth (Mrs. Wood), David, William, Robert, Samuel, REBECCA MAY (WIFE OF EDWARD ELSEY), Jeanette (wife of Samuel Crosset) and Isaac. All are now deceased except possibly, Robert who is supposed to be living in Illinois. James was a captain of infantry, and was stationed, with his company at a block house in Delaware (now Marioun) county, shortly after Hull's surrender. Willam and Samuel were ministers, the former a Methodist, and the latter a Presbyterian. Samuel Taylor, a brother of Matthew, removed from Nova Scotia, at the same time and settled on the farm now owned by Z. Vesey. His children were: Rebecca (Long), Matthew, John, David, Samuel, Elizabeth (Faulkner), James, and Eleanor (Griffith)." Editor's note 1: Observe that 7 of the 8 children of Samuel Taylor had the same given names as the children of his brother Matthew. Editor's note 2: The oral tradition is that Rebecca (Rebeckah) May Taylor Elsey was born at sea, presumably as the family emigrated from Nova Scotia. Based on her gravemarker, Rebecca's birth year is thought to be 1798 (died at age 35 in 1833). The Franklin County History indicates the year of emigration was 1800. The discrepancy does not mean that Rebecca was not born at sea--only that either the birth year or the emigration year is off a year or two. I found a tree in Ancestry with the following: Nancy TAylor Elsey d. 29 Aug. 1892 in Moscow, Minn. 2. Mary d. Nov. 1880 in Fillmore, Minn. She m. Nelson Cheadle 3. Isaac d. 7 March 1888 in Rockville, Ind. He m. Jane Harris 4. Harriet d. 16 Nov. 1902 in Benton Co., Mo She m. Jesse Walker 5. Eleanor d. in Spink, South Dakota & she m. James Harris and 6.
