General Notes: Husband - James Taggart

---

He was born in Canton township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, on the old homestead where his ancestors had first settled on their arrival in Pennsylvania. He passed his boyhood in the usual manner of a farmer lad, and received his education at the Wotring Academy, which was established about 1818, by Judge Wotring. He subsequently came into possession of the family estate, on which he passed his life, engaged in agricultural pursuits. He voted with the Democratic party before the Civil War, and in 1862 joined the ranks of the Republican party, of which he became a trusted and valued member, and served one term as county auditor. In religious faith he was a member and trustee of the Buffalo Presbyterian Church, and led the choir for many years.
