William Taylor 1787-1839 Elizabeth Patrick 1793-1880

Note:  I have a life sketch for William elsewhere on this blog because of the many discrepancies about his life.  His story takes a lot of time and space to explain.

Elizabeth

Elizabeth "Betsy" Patrick

Parents: John Patrick and Sarah Kendrick
Born 9 Dec 1793 Mecklenburg, Virginia

Mormon Overland Trail:  Allen Taylor Company (her son)

Pioneer

Note:  she traveled as Elizabeth Allred, not Elizabeth Taylor

Married 2) James Allred 3 Feb 1846 Nauvoo, Hancock, Illinois
Note:  they did not live together as man and wife - ever.  James served as proxy for William to be sealed for time and eternity to Elizabeth.  At that same time, James became a husband in name only.  She eventually ended up living out the remainder of her life in Ogden at her son, Pleasant Green's place (thank you to Karilyn Taylor via Family Search for letting me in on this).  

Also I received the following from Norman Nelson1, anything in parentheses is my contribution to clarify (thank you Norman): 
"The (Nauvoo) temple records do show Elizabeth being sealed for time only. This was common practice at that time for widows in order to maintain their property. Women did not have property rights at that time and anyone could just take an abandoned home and call it their own. Elizabeth left Nauvoo shortly after her being sealed to William so her marriage to her long time friend helped her maintain her rights to her Nauvoo home."
Died 25 Oct 1880 Harrisville, Weber, Utah
Note:  she died at her son's (Pleasant Green's) home

Buried Ogden City Cemetery, Ogden, Weber, Utah

Obituary:

JOSEPH TAYLOR DEAD

WAS ONE OF THE OLD MORMON BATTALION VETERANS

This morning Joseph Taylor died at his home at Farr West, of general debility, at the advanced age of 75 years. He was a pioneer in every sense of the word. He had lived in Weber county for fifty years and was a member of the old Mormon Battalion. He leaves many relatives to mourn his loss, among whom is Bishop Greene Taylor, who is a brother. His life was known to all. He had friends by the score, but he had passed his three score years and ten and he is now numbered among those who have crossed the river.
