   William Taylor, farmer, Newtown, lives about three miles northwest of this
place, on the farm where he was born in 1842. Besides the 100 acres of farming
land, he owns ten acres of timber, and values the whole at $4,500. Here his
parents, Charles and Cortney (Nickerlson) Taylor, emigrating from North Carolina
in 1835, settled and commenced a home. They spent their lives in this place; his
father dying here March 19, 1864, and his mother March 6, 1876. Mr. Taylor was
married, February 28,1867, to Amelia Moffitt, who was born September 23, 1846,
daughter of Samuel Moffitt, who came from Pennsylvania and settled in this
township in 1829 or 1830. Their six children were born as follows: Lunetta,
December 11, 1867; Charles, December 29, 1869; Emma, December 10, 1871; Ella,
February 14, 1873; Minnie, February 24, 1875; and Samuel J., October 7, 1878.
Mr. Taylor furnished a substitute for military service in the late war at a cost
of $1,050. In addition to his ordinary routine of labor he frequently transacts
business in the settlement of estates. He is a member of the United Brethren
church, and in politics a democrat.
