Mr. McCurdy was Secretary of the Society, Rev. John Waddell, President, Alexander Miller Vice-President, Alexander Kent, David Page, Senr., Charles Tucker, John J. Archibald and David Page, Junr., were the committee of management. These rules are dated January 10th, 1831. One of the rules of this Society was that it should meet quarterly, and at every meeting there should be an address given by some person to be appointed by the committee. Thomas, the eldest son of David and Eleanor TAYLOR, was born April 26th, 1786. He inherited his father's farm, and was married to Lucy, daughter of Ebenezer and Catherine HOAR, of Onslow, October 6th, 1807. Their only daughter, Eleanor, was born August 3rd, 1808. She was married to David T. ARCHIBALD, and had one son and six daughters. On the 3rd of January, 1809, Thomas TAYLOR and his brother Matthew were in the woods together. In chopping down a tree it fell upon Thomas and killed him. Matthew ran home with the sad tidings to his wife. She ran, wither her child, five months old, in her arms, and was the first on the spot. She removed the hat in which was the brains of her husband. The scene may be more easily imagined than described. His widow was married again to David, the second son of William and Ann McKEEN.
