Tom Arnold Taylor, Aug., 2012. MATTHEW TAYLOR , JR, b. 30 October 1727, Londonderry, Derry, NH; d. 22 January 1796, In David Dickey's Home, Stewiacke River, Nova Scotia.. He married ELIZABETH ARCHIBALD Abt. 1750 in New Hampshire, daughter of JOHN ARCHIBALD and MARGARET WILSON. His house stood on the hill west of John H. Archibald's. Here he reared a large famly of ten children; consisting of 8 sons and 2 daughters. The census taken in 1770 of the shareholders gives the number in his family 11, and of his son, John, 1. ) Elizabeth is the first of the three sisters of David Archibald; no birth dates are available for any of them and they are arbitrarily placed here after the boys. While in New Hampshire she married Matthew Taylor, Snr., b. 1727. Matthew was the second son of Matthew and Janet Taylor who had arrived at Londonderry, NH in 1722 (a daughter of Matthew and Janet, Sarah Taylor, married Deacon Samuel Fisher in 1747 in NH; their daughter Janet Fisher married Matthew Archibald, Elizabeth's nephew, as noted above). Matthew and Elizabeth moved to Truro with all her brothers where Matthew became one of the Grantees of Truro Township. He farmed there and raised a large family. He died in 1796 while making a trip to Halifax. Elizabeth d. in 1810. The Taylor children were the following: 1. John Taylor, b. 1752, was one of the Grantees of Truro Township, although only 14 at the time. He married his cousin, Nancy Archibald, a daughter of Samuel Archibald. John's farm was next to his father's and he later inherited that farm. In about 1802, they sold their Truro farm and moved to Saint Mary's. Nancy died around that time. In 1812 he sold that farm, moved up the East River and died some time after. They had three sons and five daughters (or four sons and six daughters?). 2. James Taylor, b. 1754, m. Rebecca Bartlett and moved to Majorfield, New Brunswick, where he farmed. He had his barn so constructed, that he could unload a ton of hay from his cart into the mow (the hay pile in the barn) in a minute and a half, which apparently was quite a feat for those days. 3. Matthew Taylor, b. 1755, m. in 1783 to his cousin Rebecca Archibald, daughter of James Archibald. Matthew had a farm as well as a saw mill. In 1792 he and his family moved to Ohio. They had four sons and a daughter. 4. Robert Taylor, b. 1757, m. Mehetabel Wilson of Chiganoise in 1781. They had two sons and three daughters. He bought a mill but afterwards sold out and moved to Ohio. 5. David Taylor, b. 1760, settled on a farm and m. in 1783 his cousin Eleanor, daughter of Thomas Archibald. When he died aged 39, on 15 January 1799, he was chopping in the woods when a large limb fell on him and struck his head. They had two sons and three daughters. One of the sons, Thomas, also met a violent death. Five months after the birth of his first child, he and his brother were working in the woods when a tree fell on him and killed him. On his brother's bidding, Thomas' wife Lucy was first on the scene; Miller's book graphically notes that "she removed the hat, in which was the brains of her husband". She later remarried to a son of Ann Archibald, daughter of David Archibald. 6. Margaret Taylor, b. 1763, d. young. She was presumably the first of the children to be born in Nova Scotia. 7. Samuel Taylor, b. 1765, m. and had a family of children. He was one of the eight who were the first to settle in Upper Stewiacke in 1784. Shortly after this time he moved to Ohio. 8. Archibald Taylor, b. 1766, m. in 1797 to Jane, daughter of William and Mary Blair. They had one child but mother and baby died soon after the birth. Archibald moved to St. Mary's where he m. Mary McDonald of Pictou. They had three sons and two daughters. He died in about 1837. 9. Elizabeth Taylor, b. 1769, m. in 1764 to Gain, son of Richard Bartlett. They had a son and a daughter. When driving home with a load of wood on his sled, her husband died when he fell off and was run over by the sled. 10. William Taylor, b. 1771, m. Margaret, daughter of Alexander McCurdy of Onslow. They had one son and three daughters. Margaret died when the children were all young so William moved to St. Mary's where he m. again and had another family. About 1840 he was chopping in the woods at Sherbrooke when he was killed by a falling tree. The Taylors were certainly not very lucky in the woods! One of his daughters, Elizabeth, m. Robert Blair. http://home.earthlink.net/~douglasjgraham/Archibal.htm Matthew Taylor was born 30 October, 1727 in Londonderry, Rockingham County, New Hampshire and died 22 January, 1796 at the house of David Dickey, on the Halifax Rd, Colchester County, Nova Scotia. He is buried in the Robie Street Cemetery, Truro, Colchester County, Nova Scotia. He married Elizabeth Archibald in 1751, the daughter of John Archibald and Margaret Wilson. She was born 20 January, 1724/25 in Londonderry, New Hampshire, and died 04 February, 1809 in St. Mary's, East River Forks, Guysborough, Nova Scotia.

they began to improve when it was found that the land was in fact over the line in New Hampshire The governor of New Hampshire however confirmed the grant and the colony remained in that location They gave to the settlement the name of Londonderry which has since been changed to and is now known a's Derry New Hampshire This location was then the very frontier of civilization All beyond to the north and west was a wilderness and the home of the Algonquin Indians It was here that Matthew Taylor r was born on October 30th 1727 While living at this place he was married to Miss Archibald and of this marriage there were born six sons and two daughters The fourth son was named Robert The date of his birth was April 11th 1759 Matthew Taylor Jr continued to reside at Derry New Hampshire with his
