JOSEPH C. TAYLOR retired lumberman, P.O. Morrisville, was 
born in Falls township, Bucks county, August 25, 1826, being 
a son of William and Mary (Crozer) Taylor, the former a 
native of Philadelphia, and of French origin.  His mother's 
family is of English origin, being among the earliest 
settlers of Pennsylvania.  The first of the family to come 
to America was Andrew Crozer, who came to this country in 
1723 and settled in Penn's Manor, Falls township, in 1758.  
William Taylor, the paternal ancestor of our subject, was 
born in Philadelphia, July 14, 1796.  He was reared in 
Penn's Manor, where he followed farming and died in 1866.  
William Taylor, father of Joseph C., learned the trade of a 
shoemaker in early life, but was for the most of his life a 
merchant and farmer.  He died in 1866.  Joseph C. is the 
third of a family of seven children, six of whom are now 
living.  He was reared in Morrisville, attending the school 
there, and early in life embarked in the lumber business in 
company with his father, and continued in it until the death 
of the latter.  From 1853 to 1871, J. C. was actively 
engaged in the lumber trade. He is now living in 
Morrisville.  He is a republican in politics.  He was 
married in 1860 to Maria, daughter of Miles and Anna (Kelly) 
Watson, her family being of English descent.  Their children 
are:  Anna W., Mary C. and Lillian.
