General Notes: Husband - Robert Taylor
He was born, reared and married in Ireland, and with his wife, and possibly some of his children, emigrated to the United States and settled in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. While traveling by wagon through the county in a search for a good location, he fell sick at what is now Stewartsville and laid by there for some time. It is not known whether his plans had originally been to go further west or to settle in this section, but while at this place two brothers by the name of Neal, who had taken up a tract of two hundred and sixty-seven acres on what later became the McKeesport road, were shot by Indians, and their farm was put up later at public sale. The Neal brothers were buried on the place. Robert Taylor, concluding that the time was advantageous, purchased the property and settled thereon.
