Facts and events
Marriage | about 1810 |
---|---|
Note | The marriage is found in Newtown Vital Records, [FHL Film 4961], 2:49. Phebe married Daniel NOT David Taylor. In the census records from 1850 to 1860 she is listed as Phebe Taylor living with Daniel Taylor. Her tombstone reads, Phebe Churchill wife of Daniel Taylor. The Michigan Death records for her sons Frederick and Noble list their parents as Daniel Taylor and Phebe Churchill. The reference to David Taylor as the husband of Phebe given in, The Churchill Family in America (United States: Published by the family of Gardner A. Churchill, 1904), 367, is wrong. The author has David Taylor married to sisters Polly, Phebe and Mary Emily Churchill. Phebe clearly married Daniel Taylor. Polly and Mary are interchangeable names and were confused by the author. Polly never married David Taylor but her half-sister Mary did marry David Tousey Taylor of Newton. |
