General Notes: Husband - Hon. Henry Taylor
He was the first of this family to come to Washington County, Pennsylvania, and moved there from Cecil County, Maryland, some time prior to 1780. Washington County was erected in March, 1781, and Henry Taylor became the first judge or president of courts therein, his appointment, which was dated October 2, 1781, coming from the chief executive council of Pennsylvania. He served as judge some years, and after a short interval was reappointed September 30, 1788, to the same position.
He took up a "tomahawk right" to over 1,200 acres of land in the Rich Hills, in Washington County, Pennsylvania. In addition to his civil offices, he was a general in the militia.
He and his wife had eleven children.
He was a native of Wales, and about the year 1770 took a "tomahawk right" to 1,200 acres of land in Washington County, Pennsylvania, and added thereto until the amount aggregated some 1,700 acres, all lying in what became South Strabane township. He was a member of the M. E. Church, a Whig in politics, and was the first judge of the courts.
He came to Washington County, Pennsylvania, from Cecil County, Maryland, about the year 1770, and settled on land which he afterwards purchased. The first purchase of which there is any record is of 150 acres on the middle fork of Chartiers Creek, bounded on the northeast by Robert Howelton's land, and on the south by the road leading from Catfish Camp to Pittsburgh. The deed or patent of this land is signed by John Penn, February 1, 1771. Mr. Taylor subsequently purchased other tracts aggregating about 1,700 acres in all, in what came to be known as South Strabane Township. He was appointed a major of the militia and a justice of the peace of Yohogania County and upon the formation of Washington County in 1781 was elected a justice of the peace, October 15 of that same year. He was appointed by the Supreme Executive Council a justice of the peace and of the Court of Common Pleas and Quarter Sessions and was later made the presiding justice, a position which he held until the office was abolished in 1791. On April 19, 1793, during Wayne's expedition against the Indians, he was commissioned by Gov. Mifflin, brigadier-general of the brigade, which was composed of the militia of the townships of the county, with the exception of East Bethlehem Township.
He and his wife had five sons and three daughters. [TCHWWC, 1092]
He and his wife had seven sons and six daughters. [TCHWWC, 1156]
