Professional Research

Since Marie Taylor's birth location is given as Kingston, Upper Canada, in one census, a cousin and I hired a professional genealogist to search for records in that vicinity. The genealogist's detailed report revealed no church or land records that coincided with the birth records we have for this family.
Because we struck out completely on Ontario records, other Canadian locations should be researched.

Definite error in many Ancestry genealogies

Although some trees give Samuel Taylor's wife as Sally Mumma, and include a marriage record which shows them married in Maryland, this is an inaccurate conflation of two genealogies. Samuel Taylor and Sally (Mumma) Taylor lived out their lives in Maryland.

Taylor Timeline

Timeline discussion.
  1. Sarah (Sally)' s name is given as Sarah Bartlett Brown in several genealogies; she is also said to have been born in Canada, but three of her children in census records say that their mother was born in Vermont. A search of the Vermont birth index brought no results for a 20-year time period. She would have been very young when she married Samuel, given the birth date of their oldest child.
  2. Joseph was born in 1804; the next child was born in 1815. That doesn't make sense. Either Sarah/Sally had several unnamed children between those two children, or Joseph's birth year is wrong. In assuming the latter, I theorize that perhaps he was born in 1813 or 1814.
  3. Daniel's birth location is unknown, but Allen, born in 1827, is born in Paynesville, Ohio, according to a few sources. Thus, the family lived in Canada between 1813 and 1822, and presumably moved back to the United States between 1823 and 1827.
  4. The only source for Kingston, Upper Canada, is Marie's birth location given in the 1860 census. All other sources for family members only say that they were born in Canada.
  5. No naturalization records have been located.
