Samuel Raymond Taylor was born Nov. 28, 1831 in Delaware, a son of John and 
Nancy Taylor, and in 1833 was brought by his parents to Wayne County, Ind. He 
was married in 1855 to Nancy J. Barnes, a native of Centre Township, Wayne 
County, a daughter of Shapley Barnes, who came from Virginia to Wayne County 
among the early settlers. To them have been born five children---Lydia E., 
deceased, wife of Charley Estell, of Richmond; Anna C., wife of Ira Moore; 
John W., Frank M. and Charley S. Samuel R. on attaining his majority served 
two years at the carriage-maker's trade in Richmond, after which he engaged in 
farming, which occupation he still follows. He owns an excellent farm of 125 
acres, all well improved. He has also been a breeder of fine horses for many 
years. His father was a native of Delaware. He was married in 1827 to Nancy 
Hallis, who was born in 1805. They were the parents of four children---
Elizabeth, wife of Evan Burguire; Samuel R.; Sarah, wife of P. Doughty, and 
Anna E., wife of Davison Cheesman. In 1832 John Taylor moved his family to 
Wayne County, Ind., and settled near Salisbury and was employed on the bridge 
and National pike. He was taken sick with small-pox and died in the winter of 
1838. His wife then moved to Salisbury, and supported her family by going out 
as a weaver, and besides keeping her family she saved enough money to buy a 
house and lot in Salisbury. She is now in her eighty-first year and is making 
her home with our subject.
