If the John Taylor that you are looking for was in the Middlesex Militia, then that is Professor John Taylor, rose to the rank of Lt. Col. b. 1750 son of Jacob Taylor and Rachel Potter. d. 1801 in Schenectedy N.Y. where he was a Professor at Union College. He graduated Princeton class of 1770 (aprox) and taught at Rutgers (then Queens or was Princeton Queens and Rutgers the College of NJ, I mix them up sometimes) The other Col John is my ancestor and he was Col of the 4th Hunterdon Militia.
