Michael Taylor was born in Barton and spent most of his life there (1804-1881).[1] His first marriage to Claressa Ryckman in 1830[2] produced three children. Claressa died in 1837.[3] Very soon afterward, he married Mary Sanderson, who died in 1853. He and Mary had 5 children. The year after Mary's death, Michael married[4] his first cousin, Hannah Sutton (nee Patterson), a widow. In the late 1880s, they moved to Galt with daughter Margaret[5], probably to be close to sons John and George. Michael died in 1894[6] and was buried in Mountview Cemetery in Galt (present day Cambridge).[7]
