There is alot of marriages between the 2 families, which include Irena Taylor, who married Philo Barnum, parents of PT Barnum. I am related to 6 of the 8 families that settled Danbury, including the Barnums and Taylors. Thomas Barnum, b. 1625 in England, d. 1695 in Danbury was my great x 9 grandfather. I still live in Danbury, and can try to research any info for you...let me know. Lorinda
