Note: Robert Taylor Learn about upgrading this memorial... Birth: �Ctab�DJan. 23, 1792 Stewiacke Nova Scotia, Canada Death: �Ctab�DAug. 29, 1876 Canton Fulton County Illinois, USA Pat, I looked in our publications I have here at home and in the Cemetery Inscriptions of Greenwood Cemetery Volume 14 on page 133 is the listings for 9 Taylors in Lot 450-Division A. The listing for Robert states he died August 29, 1871, aged 84 years, 7 months and 6 days. Do you have other documents showing his death date? Most people on the internet have 1876. It could be a typo in the production of the publication, but I would like to verify it. It also lists Mary Taylor, died Aug. 22, 1876, aged 78 years, 8 months and 29 days. Have you attempted to get either of their death certificates? Our courthouse death record books start in 1878 but there are a very few before that time. The other tidbit I found was in the files of a retired genealogist I have now in my home. Through her correspondence with Mrs. Ed Meyer from Uniontown, WA back in March 1981, I noticed her requests were for the same family. It never mentions wanting to find Mary McCleary's parents, only about Robert and the children, which it looks like you have most of that on Ancestry.com. I might be able to go to the library within the next week and look for anything in the newspapers.

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 creek, and continued this operation until his death, in 1812 (error-should be 1814); his 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 eleven children. John A. married Elizabeth McKnight, of Greene 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 returned to Franklin county, and died here. They had three other children, the only survivor of whom is Mrs James Taylor, of Truro Township. The other children of Matthew Taylor were: James, matthew, Elizabeth (Mrs Woods), David, William, Robert, Samuel, Rebecca May (wife of Edward Elsey), Jeannette (wife of Samuel Crosset) and Isaac. All are now deceased, except, possibly Robert, who is suppose to be living in Illinois. James was a captain of infantry, and was stationed, with his company, at a block-house in Delaware (now Marion) county, shortly after Hull's surrender; William 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). It is said that the average length of life of the Taylor families was over seventy years. Robert and Mary were in the 1870 census of Canton Twp., Fulton County, IL and were 78 and 72 years old. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~cenfiles/il/fulton/1870/pg0375a.txt Robert Taylor, father of S. W., was born in far-off Nova Scotia, and as a young man located in Pennsylvania, where he married Mary McCleary. The young people were ambitious of carving their fortunes out of a new country, so came to Indiana, where S. W. remained until receiving his majority.

His forefathers moved to Ireland, where at Lon- donderry his grandfather, Matthew Taylor, lived for some time, and then emigrated to Nova Scotia; but in 1798 he moved to Ohio, taking Robert with him. The latter when grown, first came to In- diana, then to this Co. in 1831 and married Mary McClcary, a native of Pennsylvania, and after wintering at Knoxville returned to In- diana; came back to Illinois in the fall of 1832 and located on sec. 7, this twp., but in 18? bought a farm on sec. 6, where he remained for 33 years, and then, in 1866, he moved to Canton, where he died Aug. 29, 1893, his wife having died the 22d of the same month, aged 79 years.

He was a zealous Republican, but he never took a prominent part in politics. He had often been asked to be Justice of the Peace, but he always refused. From the continuation of the History of Fulton County "April 7th, 1834, Fulton County Presbyterian Church met, agreeably to a previous arrangement, and, after meeting was opened by prayer by Rev. Rob't Stewart, proceeded to elect by ballot the four following persons to the office of Ruling Elders, viz., Rob't Taylor, Royal Wright, Asaph Rice, and Peter "West- erfield," There was a session meeting the same day, of which the record says, "Session met and was opened by prayer � present, Robert Stewart, minister; from which it appears that Mr, Stew- art became pastor of the church in March or April, 1834, He continued as the pastor of the church until after the division, which occurred in September, 1838, Mr, Stewart was a man of fine talents, good education, a fair speaker, and one who gave constant evidence, in his walk and conversation, that he was in- deed a follower of that Jesus whom he preached. Under his pastoral care the church waxed strong, until the division between the Old and New School occurred, and then his example and in- fluence held two-thirds of the church in the New-School wing, which he had selected as, in his judgment, the true church. 1812-According to the application for War of 1812 Bounty Land by Robert Taylor, Robert & 4 of his brothers served in the Franklin county, Ohio, Militia from 01 September to about 01 February, 1813; they built 2 blockhouses, guarded the frontier, and drove freight wagons.

P. Jackson at the seventieth anniversary celebration of the church on August 23, 1882. This history, later printed and published in pamphlet form by the MadisonCourier, is of interest to a genealogist because of the names, dates, and family records given in it. The account which follows is based on the Reverend Jackson's paper. On August 8, 1797, the Reverend Andrew Fulton, in company with the Reverend Robert Armstrong, sailed from Scotland for America, and arrived in New York on October 13. They went first to Philadelphia where they hired a wagoner to haul their books and baggage to Pittsburgh. They themselves went by stage to Lancaster, then to Carlisle, and from there on foot to Pittsburgh. Here they stayed until February 21, 1798, when they embarked for Limestone, now Maysville, Kentucky. From Limestone they went overland to Lexington. Fulton was born and educated in Scotland. He was licensed to preach at Kilmarnock on December 17, 1793. He served in Kentucky at Drennon's Creek in Henry County and at Bear Grass near Louisville, for seventeen years. When some of the members of the congregations seceded and moved to Jefferson County, Indiana, Fulton visited them there. He preached his first sermon in Jefferson County at the home of George Shannon, Sr., on the bank of the Ohio. Sometime in 1812, a congregation was formed, which took the name of Carmel, the first Associate, or United, Presbyterian congregation in Indiana. The names of its first members were George Shannon, Sr., Ann Shannon, John Anderson, James Anderson, Jane Anderson, Samuel Ledgerwood,� Ledgerwood, John Swann, Sr., Jennet Swann, Thomas Taylor William Hay, Jane Hay, Benjamin Miller, Sarah Miller, William Anderson, Sr., Catherine Anderson, and perhaps others. In October 1816, the Reverend Fulton removed to Jefferson County and was installed as the pastor of this church. He also preached frequently at Rykers Ridge at the home of Samuel Ledgerwood. The first building for Carmel congregation was erected in 1816 on the farm of James Matthews. It was a wooden structure, thirty by forty feet. In 1839 an additional twenty feet was added, and in 1853 a brick church was built, forty-six by sixty feet, at a cost of $3000. While in Kentucky Rev. Fulton had married Margaret Anderson, a sister of James and John Anderson. Of their children, Jane, the eldest daughter married the Reverend James Adams and had one son Thomas Leander Adams who removed to LaPorte. Mary, another daughter, married a Dr. Cowden. She died at Washington, Iowa. Andrew, their son, who was born just a few hours before his father's death, was graduated from Hanover College in 1836, studied medicine, and died in Kansas City, Missouri. Rev. Fulton died on September 10, 1818, aged sixty-three years. His widow married Colonel James Morrow of Xenia, Ohio, where they lived for a while, but returned to Hanover where Margaret died and was buried beside her first husband. The Reverend Andrew Isaac, then came to Carmel, and, being a Scotsman, the congregation gave him a call in October, 1820. He was born in Carr's Croft near Perth in 1789, educated at Edinburgh and came to America in 1819. He served in Albany Presbytery until 1820. He preached at Carmel twenty-three Sabbaths, Madison thirteen, and Big Creek four. In 1827, he was installed as pastor at Londonderry, Ohio. He died on September 12, 1840. He was married to Jane Rintoul in Scotland. Their son, William Rose-burg Isaac, was born in Pittsburgh in 1820 and died at Londonderry, Ohio, in 1845. One daughter, unmarried, lived near New Concord, Ohio. Mrs. Isaac died at Londonderry in 1872. John Wallace was called to Carmel in 1830, and died on March 22, 1833, at Vicksburg, Mississippi. James M. Henderson was the next pastor. He was born on February 28, 1805, in Washington County, Pennsylvania, of Scottish-American ancestry. He was installed as pastor of Carmel, Madison and Big Creek on May 8, 1834, from which pastorate he re-signed in 1835. His wife, whom he married on October 3, 1832, was Nancy McClenahan. They had seven children. One son served as pastor at Elmira, Illinois; another was buried in Carmel Cemetery. The fifth pastor of Carmel Church was Moses Arnott, born on June 18, 1820, in Cambridge, Washington County, Pennsylvania. He came to Carmel in November, 1846, and began his work there on the second Sabbath in July, 1847, preaching at Carmel and New Washington. While he was there, the Carmel and Bethel congregations were united as related below. He was married in 1848 to Mary H. Pollock, of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. They had nine children, four of whom were buried at Cannel. Rev. Arnott died at the home of Mary and Eliza Latta, at Cannel, and was buried on July 5, 1874. One daughter, Martha, married R. B. Swann, and a son John Arnott was a lawyer in Canby, Minnesota. The sixth pastor was H. P. Jackson, born on April 18, 1836, near Cedarville, Ohio. He was married on February 14, 1866, to Maggie Frazier Dunlap of Cedarville. He came to Carmel on June 17, 1875. Bethel Church was organized on May 28, 1828. It was first called Jefferson, then Bethel. The following were received as members: Ann Shannon, Margaret Shannon, a Mrs. Gray, John Swann, Sr., Jennet Swann, William McCasland and wife, Michael Kinnear and wife, James Patterson, George Shannon, Jr., and wife, Andrew Swann and wife, Thomas Baird and wife, John Shannon and wife, Thomas Shannon and wife, George Reed and his wife Jane, William Gordon, and James Swann. George Shannon, Sr., and Thomas Gray, Sr., were elders. Until the church was built in 1830, preaching was held at the home of George Shannon, Sr. John McDill was installed as pastor at Bethel Church on June 22, 1835. He was born in Preble County, Ohio, in 1806, and graduated from Miami University in 1820. He married Mrs. Fannie W. Johnson, widowed daughter of the Reverend R. G. Wilson, president of Ohio University at Athens, Ohio. He died in Hanover on July 27, 1840, and was buried in Bethel Cemetery, leaving a widow, a step-daughter, Agnes Johnson, a son, James Wilson McDill, a daughter, Mary, who was born in Hanover, and another daughter, Martha, who was born in Athens. Agnes John-son was married at Hanover to the Reverend Robert Hopkins who was drowned in Minnesota. She later married the Reverend Samuel W. Pond, and lived at Shakopee, Minnesota. In 1852, the widow of John McDill was married to William Pinkerton of Bloomingburg, Fayette County, Ohio. Mary and Martha McDill both married Pinkertons. John H. Bonner was installed at Bethel in April, 1845. He preached at Bethel, at Hopewell in Scott County, and at Grayfriar's, three and one-half miles west of New Washing-ton in Clark County. The following are the names of preachers who also filled the pulpit: Campbell, Turner, Worth, Warner, R. E. Stewart, N. C. McDill, Joseph Steel, Reid, Robertson, J. R. Brown, McCague, Sturgeon, J. S. McCracken, and N. R. Kirkpatrick. In 1854, the Bethel and Caledonia congregations were united as one charge with N. C. Kirkpatrick as pastor. In 1858, Bethel and Carmel were united with the Reverend Moses Arnott in charge as mentioned above. The first Session of Carmel Church in 1812 was composed of James Anderson, George Shannon, and Samuel Ledgerwood. James Anderson was born near Brownsville, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, in 1780. He removed with his father's family to a site near Lexington, Kentucky, then to Ohio, and finally to Indiana in 1810. He was married by the Reverend Andrew Fulton on January 29, 1807, to Jennet Laing, of Henry County, Kentucky. They had six children. Mr. Anderson died at the home of his son-in-law, the Reverend James Brown, in Madison, on June 3, 1848, aged 68 years. His wife died about the same time. George Shannon, Sr., was born March 4, 1759, in Lan-caster County, Pennsylvania, and was married to Ann Reid on March 24, 1785, in Lancaster County. They came soon after to Scott County, Kentucky. Mr. Shannon served through Indian Wars, and was wounded in the battle known as "Crawford's Defeat." He removed to Greene Coun ty, Ohio, and, in 1810, to Jefferson County, Indiana, near where Bethel Church now stands. He died on December 5, 1840, aged eighty-one years, eleven months and one day.
