Biography

ABRAHAM KAYLOR, an old and honored resident of Clear Creek Township, was born in Mahoning County, Ohio, June 4, 1820. He was the youngest of seven children, three sons and four daughters, born to Abraham and Magdalene (Metts) Kaylor, both of whom were of Dutch descent. He spent his youth and early manhood in his native county. His father died when he was seven years old and as soon as he became old enough he found employment upon a farm by the month and thus continued until he reached his fourteenth year, when he and one sister and their widowed mother settled upon a small farm of forty acres, the management of which devolved upon him. About two years later they removed to Trumble County, Ohio, where two years were spent upon a farm.

They then removed to Stark County, Ohio, where the marriage of our subject occurred in 1842, when Ann Eliza Stump became his wife.
