His parents were Bennett Taylor ^[1] and Eleanor Morton. ^[1]

He married Sarah Joyce^{[1][2][3][4][6][7] [10]}

Together they had 7 children:

A family story is that Phineas left his family in Nova Scotia to head out west to work. Many years had passed without word from him. His son Thomas set out to search for him and was never heard from again by the family. The 1871 census has wife Sarah as head of household with a note to the side stating that "husband left home ten years agow (sic) hasn't returned" ^[10]. In the 1881 census, Sarah is listed as widowed. ^[11]

In the 1880 US census, a Phineas Taylor ^{[12] [13]} appears in Kansas. He is a man of the same age and also born in Nova Scotia. It is believed that this the same Phineas Taylor. He is married to Melissa Hawkins ^[12][13][9] and has a son also named Phineas Taylor ^[13][12][9]
