Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/TFC.2ACE/638.2 Message Board Post: I have just been doing research on my Waukesha Co. relatives and came across the site that lists the biographical sketches. Here's what it has to say about your E. T. Taylor... E. T. TAYLOR, farmer, Secs. 20, 21, 28 and 29; P. O. Mukwonago. Mr. Taylor is descended from a genuine pioneer family; his grandfather, one of Connecticut's Revolutionary heroes, settled, soon after the close of the war, in Vermont; at the last stages of the journey, his brave wife, on snowshoes, carried her son, Gideon M., into that then new State, where they sometimes actually suffered hunger; G. M. Taylor grew to manhood, married Phoebe Walbridge, and, in 1829, settled on an Indian reservation in Genesee Co.; his cabin was built in a forest, so dense that the supplies were, at first, brought in to his family on his back; he was three miles from any settlement, but cut a road, cleared his farm, and, today this is one of the most valuable farms in the county. E. T. Taylor was born in Wolcott, Lamoille Co., Vt., Oct. 31, 1821, grew up in Genesee Co., and married in the town of Alabama, Jan. 14, 1846, Miss Isabel, daughter of Walter and Jane (Christie) Irving; they came to Wa! ukesha Co. in the spring of 1846, with a capital of health and resolution; Mr. Taylor worked out, in 1846, rented a farm in 1847, and bought 160 acres of his present farm in 1848, borrowing $200 to make the first payment. Beginning in a log shanty, he has, from that time, made a constant march of improvement, now owning 358 acres, with a large and tasteful farmhouse for a home, which is backed up by a number of substantial barns, for the use of the herds of Durham and Jersey cattle and the splendid Spanish merinos. Mr. Taylor is a Whig-Republican, and has been since 1840, and is a Congregationalist. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor have five children-Arthur I., M. Elizabeth, Warren E., Hattie I. and Homer E. Warren E. represents the fourth generation of this family of frontiersmen; he studied medicine in the State University of Wisconsin, graduated from the Chicago Medical College, and located in Downs, Osborn Co., Kan.; in July, 1879, he built the first business block in that live, new ! town, and is now in mercantile and banking business there. I hope this helps. Holly

HARVEY WAMBOLD, proprietor of the Eagleville Mills; born in 1826, in Montgomery Co., Penn.; coming to Wisconsin in 1848, he at once began building mills, building and owning the steam mill at Granville; after helping to build the mill of Bertchey & Carr, Milwaukee, he was employed about six years in keeping two large mills in repair; settling in Eagleville, December, 1871, he bought a five years' lease in the mill and water-power; this is the oldest improved mill site in Waukesha Co., built in 1839, by Dr. Bigelow, the present large mill replacing his about twenty-five years ago; it is provided with three run of stone, and the Kurth patent cockle separator for cleaning seed wheat, costing $300; Mr. W. has cleaned over 1,000 bushels most satisfactorily this spring for the surrounding farmers; all foul seeds and shrunken wheat are completely separated; the machine was made to order, and is specially adapted to the wheat grown in this section; near the mill are the Eagleville m! ineral springs, four in number, the medicinal properties of each being different and all highly spoken of by those using the water, which is carried to all parts of the State. Mr. Wambold married Miss Mary Barndt, by whom he has had five children – Henry, Josephine (Mrs. S. Gale), Milton, Leander and Charles (died April, 1879). Mr. W. and wife are Methodists, he supporting men and principles instead of political parties. I hope this helps with your search. Holly

I seek information on one Clarence (Tom?) BARROW (b. 1906) who I am told served with that Department. He is listed as a labourer in Fairfield, Jefferson Co in the 1920 census and died sometime before 1970. So his time with the Waukesha PD would have been during that period.
