Jacobeh M. Taylor, born in 1804 in NY, died 1878 at son Jacob's home, Mayfield
Twp, Lapeer Co, MI.  Removed to Lapeer Co in the late 1830s or early 1840s. 
Jacobeh's wife was Margaret Ann Swarthout.  Burial location unknown, but
according to Jacobeh's granddaughter Rachel Taylor, he and his wife are buried
at the Roscoe Cemetery (disused) on Newark Rd., Attica Twp, Lapeer Co, MI.  No
tombstone has been found, but a son of one of Jacobeh's daughters, William Peck,
does have a gravestone.  So, there is some connection in that cemetery to the
Taylors.  Jacobeh is listed in the census as a millwright and family accounts
indicate he participated in the construction of the Lapeer Co Courthouse.  His
descendants had a homestead in Oregon Twp.  This is the only known photograph of
Jacobeh probably taken in the 1860s or early 1870s.

Additional Comments:
This tinted tin-type is sealed in glass.  I took a digital photograph and
restored it as accurately as possible.  Any further information about the Taylor
family in Lapeer Co would be appreciated.  Hal Prentice hal@wkar.org
