Surnames: Taylor, Miller, Sipley Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/jEC.2ACE/2140 Message Board Post: I am searching for information about the husband and offspring of Elisabeth MILLER b. 28 Nov 1806 likely in New York; m. Levi Taylor in the 1820’s likely in Bradford Co., Pennsylvania; d. 30 May 1840, unknown location. Elisabeth was the daughter of Isaac Miller and Catharina SIPLEY Miller whom resided for much of their lives in Ridgebury Twp., Bradford Co., Pennsylvania. Before Elisabeth’s untimely death at age 33 she gave birth to at least two children named Benjamin Woodbury Taylor and Polly Manning TAYLOR. A few of Elisabeth’s siblings migrated from Bradford Co., Pennsylvania to Fond Du Lac Co., Wisconsin in the mid-1800’s. I have researched online data for evidence of Levi Taylor and Benjamin Taylor in Wisconsin. I discovered a Levi Taylor residing in Byron Twp.: 1847 census of Byron Twp., Wisconsin Territory: Taylor, Levi 2 males 2 females total 4 1860 census of Byron, Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin: Taylor Levi 50 M Farmer 3000 650 Massachusetts Taylor Harriet 46 F Connecticut Taylor Elizabeth 20 F New York Taylor Emily 12 F Wisconsin Taylor Ella 8 F Wisconsin Taylor Tryan 4 M Wisconsin 1880 census of Byron, Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin: Levi TAYLOR Self W Male W 70 MA Farmer MA MA Emily TAYLOR Dau S Female W 32 WI At Home MA MA Tryon TAYLOR Son S Male W 23 WI Farmer MA MA James CRYNON Other D Male W 38 IRE Servant MA MA Lucy ABELARD Other S Female W 15 WI Servant ENG ENG Also, I discovered a Benjamin Taylor residing in Fond Du Lac County: 1880 census of Byron, Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin: Benjamin TAYLOR Self M Male W 56 NY Farmer MA MA Clarissa TAYLOR Wife M Female W 60 NY Housekeeper MI MI Mary E.

I’m searching for information about the place of death and burial of Elisabeth MILLER Taylor (1809-1840). Also, I’m hoping to confirm the aforementioned Taylor persons in Fond Du Lac County are the husband and son of Elisabeth MILLER Taylor. Any information about Elisabeth, husband Levi, and offspring Benjamin or Polly or others would be much appreciated. Paul E. Newell Ellicott City, MD
