| John Taylor |
Parents: William Taylor and Elizabeth Patrick
Born 7 Dec 1812 Bowling Green, Warren, Kentucky

| He was a farmer |
Married Eleanor Burkett 3 Apr 1834 Liberty, Clay, Missouri
Died 7 Feb 1896 Plain City, Weber, Utah
Buried: 10 Feb 1896 Ogden City Cemetery, Ogden, Ogden, Utah
Location of grave: E-5-40-2W1
Note: John was born in Kentucky, but joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (baptized) on 30 Jun 1834 in Missouri. He later left the church and joined the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (RLDS) and was a member of the RLDS church at the time of his death
A further note in the same paper (handwritten and very hard to read) there was something about nearly freezing to death and other hardships, plus John appeared to Eleanor after his death and told her his clothes didn't fit (someone supposed they were made cheaply or something, but likely it had to do with the fact he died RLDS and needed his ordinances redone which were completed in 1914 in the Salt Lake Temple); the paper also mentioned he was always a staunch friend of Joseph Smith, but didn't believe in polygamy. He is also quoted in the Community of Christ archives (which was the RLDS church) which leads me to believe that his defection from the main body of the LDS Church was true.

Obituary (on Family Search thanks to Jean Stratford Wilson it listed the original was in possession of Mrs. C.W. Chase by Mrs. JJ Furniss from Ida Jarman):
John Taylor or as he was familiarly known "Uncle John Taylor" passed peacefully away from earthly scenes after a few weeks illness at his home near Plain City, Utah, 7 February 1896.
His was an eventful life. Resolute and brave, even in the face of appalling danger, and yet devoted to the truth and virtue, he maintained his integrity and honor to the end and went down like a shock of grain fully ripe.
He was born 7 December 1812 at Bowling Green, Kentucky. He united with the church in Missouri in 1832, so with the exception of the first two years, he has been identified with the church through its entire history (he was a member of RLDS church at time of death).
On April 8th 1834 he was married in Liberty, Missouri, to Miss Eleanor Burkett, who still survives him. Through nearly sixty years, this couple has walked hand-in-hand through life's uneven journey, and always proved true to the cherished vows of his youth. Come what would, he was her Isaac, and she his Rebecca. Of this union, there were born 7 sons and 5 daughters, all of whom still live to honor his memory; also many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, so his posterity is said to number about three hundred.
They passed through the persecutions, privations, and trials of the church in Missouri, and were among the exiles of Illinois. He spent two seasons with Lyman Wight and George Miller in obtaining timber in Wisconsin (unknown word here) for the Nauvoo Temple and the Nauvoo House.
In 1845, he accompanied the Lyman Wight Company to Texas and remained with them until the fall of 1850 and after wandering found his way to Utah in 1854 (that summer according to Hosea Stout) where he was reunited with the main body of the church. He has ever since been unwavering and devoted to his testimony. He was ordained an Elder.
On February 10, 1896 at Harrisville meeting house, the funeral services were held. A discourse was held by Herman C.E. Smith. The meeting house was filled to overflowing with relatives and friends and a long procession followed him to his last resting place in the Ogden City Cemetery. A good and true man has gone to rest.

Born 6 Mar 1834 Liberty, Clay, Missouri
Occupation: Farmer
Interesting note: There is an Alma Taylor Plateau in Vernal, Utah and he lived in Vernal so it must have been his land at one time and is now claimed by the US Government as wilderness see the following link for more information: www.fs.fed.us/restoration/.../Ashley_Alma_Taylor_FY10_20100506.pdf NOTE: THIS LINK NO LONGER WORKS AS OF 2020
Married 1) Celia Anzinett Keyes 3 Dec 1856 Fort Supply, Missouri
Children with Celia listed on 1880 Census: Rosa, Clara, William, Hyrum, Annie, Mina, Lucy, Lola
2) Martha Keyes (his sister-in-law) 1864 (4 children)
3) Cornelia Isabella Congdon 27 Feb 1964 (claimed to have had 5 children) She divorced him and remarried.
Note: The online source claims he had 10 children with Celia, but I've only found 8 in the Census information.
Many of his children from all his wives are claimed by several sources to have been born in Missouri in the 1860's - but he was already in Utah.
In the 1870 Utah Census, all three of his wives are listed and by the 1880 census the only one remaining is Celia. The manifesto against polygamy wasn't given until 1890. Sadly, the 1890 Census was destroyed by fire. In spite of what people may believe, the manifesto dissolved polygamous marriages. Alma was excommunicated from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Life History of Alma K Taylor
Alma Taylor was born March 6, 1835, in Clay County, Missouri, two years after his father
accepted the gospel. He was the oldest son of John Taylor and Eleanor Burkett.
 |
| Alma's obit |
He came into the world at a time when the Latter Day Saints or Mormons as they were called, were being driven from post to post. They had to leave their comfortable homes and move to parts unknown.
The Governor issued an order that the Mormons must leave Missouri, so they moved into a sparsely settled area called Ray County. They were living there in 1827. The mob wasn’t satisfied and kept up their plundering and mobbings until they drove them into Caldwell County in 1827.
They finally gathered with the saints in Nauvoo in 1840, and stayed there for three or four years. Alma was then five years old and big enough to remember the Prophet Joseph Smith. His mother was a member of the Relief Society at the time.
It was at this time that Alma’s father was called to go with his family into the mountains and cut logs for the Nauvoo Temple. They went for 17 months and endured lots of hardships because of the Indians and the cold. Alma learned some of the Indian language and had lots of experiences with them.
They were living in Nauvoo when the Prophet was having so much trouble with the mobs and when he was being tried in court. Many were being put in prison for the gospel’s sake.
Alma was a big husky boy for his age, and he was eight years old when the Prophet was killed. He told his children that he heard the prophet say when he was going to prison for the last time that “He was going like a lamb to the slaughter” and he was void of offense toward anybody.
It was about this time that Alma, his father, mother, and family went to Texas.
It was also about this time that Alma swam the Missouri River to save some cattle that were going to drown.
While in Texas they had lots of Indian scares. They were living in Fortanalis, Texas in 1848, and in 1849 they were living in Sampasis, Texas. NOTE: NOT SURE OF THE SPELLING OF EITHER PLACE
At one time the Indians drove their cattle off, but Alma could talk their language and was able to get their cattle back. He also showed that he wasn't afraid.
In 1853 they sold out and moved to Oklahoma to get ready to move to Utah.
They were now ready to leave to cross the plains. Alma was now 19 years old and the oldest of his brothers, so a great deal of the responsibility fell on him. They left on June 12, 1854. There were two wagons to drive, 12 milk cows, and some young stock to watch. They owned their own company, and of course, someone had to be on guard every night so the Indians would not run off their cattle. It was a long tedious journey to take, but they had good luck and arrived in Salt Lake August 15, 1854. At this time he had two brothers, one 17 and one 15.
The Indians were so bad they had to move into a fort called Bingham Fort, now called Five Points. They lived in the fort for two years and then moved to Slaterville, Weber, Utah.
 |
| Alma and wife Celia Keyes |
They were living there when Alma became acquainted with Celia Keyes, a young girl who also emigrated across the plains. She was about 15 or 16 years old. She was born in 1841.
They were married in 1856 and moved out to Eden where they lived on a homestead of 160 acres of land, and after a few years, Alma made him a Saw Mill on Wolf Creek about eight miles from Eden. It ran by water power. He made lumber and lath. They hauled the logs in on a cart and ox team, and then hauled the lumber into Ogden with a team of horses which was a distance of about 29 miles.
Alma Taylor was a very courageous man. He weighed 180 pounds and was 5 feet 11 inches tall. He could run and jump 22 feet and could stand and jump 11 feet backward.
They lived in Eden until about 1859 when they moved to Vernal, Utah, where he lived until he died. First, they lived in a log house and in 1895 they built a nice two-story house from brick.
There was a creek bottom a little ways from the house where he was hauling hay one day. He went to go across the ditch and fell off the hay and broke some of his ribs. He was sick for a long time and he suffered so much pain that drops of blood stood out on his head, so they told us.
Alma died in the year 1910. He called for his son Hyrum, but he died before Hyrum could get to him.

| Mary Eleanor Taylor |
Born 12 Jun 1843 Nauvoo, Hancock, Illinois
Here is a story I found about her that I cut and pasted (my notes are in brighter red):
Mary Eleanor was responsible for the care of her twin baby brothers (Note: there was one of each gender in both sets of twins/siblings. The first set was older than Mary Eleanor and one of the older set of twins (Eleanor) died, so that leaves the second set of twins who were younger (William and Lucinda). Mary would have been about nine years old when the twins were born) as they crossed the plains. They camped with other small companies at night. While en route, an Indian was attempting to steal one of the twins confronted Eleanor. She grabbed up a butcher knife (yes, even a nine-year-old could do this), and frightened the Indian away. She walked all the way from Nauvoo to Salt Lake Valley, except when crossing streams.(The family was in Texas, then Oklahoma, and then to Utah - she couldn't have walked all the way from Nauvoo unless they backtracked from Oklahoma or Texas to Illinois and then came west - very unlikely) She and her sister had many opportunities to marry into a polygamy family. They refused them all. After each proposal, they climbed upon the log house and cut a notch in a ridge pole. (This sounds more like a family legend than truth, does anyone know what really happened?)

Born 16 Dec 1849 Pond Spring, Williamson, Texas
Married 1) Isaac Thomas Luckey 25 December 1866 Virginia City, Madison, Montana
Children with Isaac (born in Denverton, California): Nellie, Eleanor, William, Annie, John, James, Lillie, Rose, (born in Utah) George, Sylvia, Edna, Forest

Short life history:
Eliza's family moved to Ogden, Utah in 1852 when she was about three years old, then in about 1862, at the age of thirteen, the family moved to Madison County, Montana where she met and married Isaac Luckey in about 1865. In 1865 or 66, Isaac and Eliza moved to California to the Sacramento Valley, where they took up a homestead in Denverton, Solano County, California. Land records for Denverton Township show Isaac Lucky as a farmer with a 160 acre section in the southeast corner of the township. These same records show his name spelled Lucky, without the "e".
The family farmed here for some 16 years, during which time they had eight children, Nellie Eleanor, born 29 Feb 1868, Minerva Jane, born 29 Jan 1870, William, born 26 May 1871, Annie, born 26 Mar 1873, John "Johnny", born 26 Apr 1875, James Thomas, born 7 Nov 1877, Lillie, born 18 Jun 1879 and Rose, born 29 Jul 1881. (Note The Luckey children may have been born in Rio Vista which is about ten miles east by south east of Denverton, which was quite a small town with a population in 1878 of about 54 families in the total Denverton Township.)
The 1870 Census for California, Solano County, Denverton Twp. shows Isaac (42) and Eliza (21) with two children, Nellie (2 yrs) and Minerva ( 5 mos). The 1880 Census for California, Solano County, Denverton shows Isaac T. (50) and Liza Jane (29) with seven children, Nelly (12 yrs), Manerva J. (10 yrs), William (9 yrs), Hannah (7 yrs), Johny (5 yrs), James T. (2 yrs) and Lilly (11 mos).
In 1882, the family began a long trek to Vernal, Uintah County, Utah. They drove a herd of cattle the 800 miles with several of the children helping out. Here in Vernal, they had four more children, George, born 18 Apr 1884, (Note the 1910 census shows George born in California?) Sylvia Laurel, born 2 Jul 1886, Edna Marie, born 13 Jan 1889 and Forest David, born 12 Jul 1894.
The 1900 Census for Utah, Uintah County, Vernal, shows Isaac (79 yrs) and Liza (54 yrs) with four children, Rose (18 yrs), Sylvia (15 yrs), Edna (11 yrs) and Forest (6 yrs).
They settled first in Steinaker Draw, later moving to a claim on Taylor Mountain and then back to Ashley Ward. Isaac Thomas Luckey died on 4 Nov 1904 and he was buried in the Vernal Memorial Cemetery on 6 Dec 1904.
Several years after Isaac's death, in about 1909, Eliza Jane packed up her belongings and with two of her sons, George A. and Forest D, in a one-horse buggy, headed for Starr Valley, Wyoming, where another of her son's, Johnny, had died leaving a homestead. She not only proved up on his homestead but also took up another homestead of 320 acres of land in the wilderness of Swan Valley, Idaho.

On 16 Jun 1917, Eliza married William "Billy" MORRIS in Freedom, Wyoming. William was born in Sussex, England in 1861 and first immigrated to Canada in 1907, then across the U.S. to Wyoming. In 1920, Billie and Eliza sold out their holdings and moved to Idaho Falls, Idaho where they spent the remainder of their lives.
The 1930 Census for Idaho, Bonneville, Idaho Falls shows William (67) and Eliza Morris (79).
Billy died 9 Apr 1946 and Eliza Jane died 18 May 1948 at the age of 98.

I enjoyed the items you posted on the Taylor family. I would like to communicate with you about your connection as I keep the master database for the Taylor Association. doit4ron@gmail.com is my email address. John Ammon Taylor is my great grandfather.
ReplyDeleteRon Taylor.
Your photo of Eleanor Burket is labeled correctly! I have that same photo on a family group sheet showing all her children passed down from great grandparents--but my copy was very bad, having been xeroxed many many times.
ReplyDeleteGREAT job on your blog :)

Any relation to the Taylor's of DeWitt county Texas? In doing some research on an old forgotten cemetery
ReplyDeleteThis family settled into Utah early - so it is doubtful. I've never come across any in my research so far. If I do, I will post.
DeleteHi - I am looking into my family tree and found this information. It's absolutely wonderful! I was wondering if you had any more information on the Taylor family? Please email me at rpesce518@gmail.com - I'd love to speak with you.
