General Notes: Husband - Thomas Taylor


He was a native of Chester County, Pennsylvania, or at least resided in that section in his younger days. After their marriage he and his wife moved, in 1800, to Half-moon Valley, Centre County, Pennsylvania, where they settled permanently and raised a numerous family.


General Notes: Wife - Sarah Bebberly


Her parents resided on the ground fought over by the British and the American troops during the battle of the Brandywine, September 11, 1777. She was then not quite sixteen years old, and was an eye-witness to the battle. She used to relate many stirring incidents of the fierce contest, and among other facts stated that as she and others roamed over the battlefield they observed that the waters of the Brandywine were dyed red from the blood of men and horses killed along its banks.

She died aged eighty-seven years, nine months, twenty-five days.
