From Family Search -  modified to avoid repetition (the kids are listed): 

This account is written by LaRue Elkins-Stuart daughter of Wallace Gustave Poulson, granddaughter of John Lorenzo Poulson, great-granddaughter of William (Vilhelm) Poulson, great, great-granddaughter of Poul Ottensen and Ane Kirstine Rasmussen. The information is edited from dates on Family Search and the oral biography told by Maren Johanne Ottensen Taylor, Willian’s sister, and recorded by Naomi Tracy Skeen Poul was the first child of Otto Anderson and Johanna Larsen. Counting Poul there were seven sons and 2 daughters born into Otto and Johanna’s family. Otto was 26 years old when Poul was born, Johanna was 24. Paul Ottosen was 27 years old when he married Maren, she was 29. They were married for 21 years. They were blessed with 7 children. Lars born in 1820. There is no death date listed for Lars but he married Ingeborg Pedersen on the 14 of December 1851 when he was 31 years old. There is a record of Lars and Ingeborg having two daughters, one born in 1852 and the other in 1855. Mads (1822-1823) died as an infant, Karen (1824-deceased) Married Iver Friderichsen on the 5th of December 1852 when she was 28 years old. Her husband Iver died in 1853, the same year Karen gave birth to their daughter, Ane. Karen later married Rasmus Rasmussen there is no marriage date listed. Mads born (1826-1835), he died when he was 9 years old. Ane Catherine (1829-1835) died when she was 7 years old. twins Jens and Zeir born in 1834. There is no death date listed for either of the twins. Jens has had his temple work done except sealing to a spouse. If he married that information has not been found. Zeir marred Wihelmine Henriette Jochumsen on September 7th 1861. They had 6 children.  

When Maren died on April 6th, 1843, three of their children had already died. Their surviving children were Lars 20 years old, Karen 19 years old, and the twins Jens, and Zeir 9 years old.  

When Poul married Ane he was 48 years old and Ane Kirstine was 20.  Ane Kirstine was the 3rd daughter in a family of 5 girls born to her parents. Rasmus was 28 and Ane Kirstine was born and Johanne was 36.  

Poul owned a little farm. Ane Kirstine was a good mother that taught her daughters to knit, sew, cook and take care of a home. The family was blessed with 9 children.  

Their lives were filled with challenges and heartaches. On the 3rd of January 1851, twin girls were born. Karen died on the 15th of January, and her twin sister Ane Cathrine died on the 21st. 

Their second child Hans died in 1853 he was just 7 years old. They were yet to face even greater losses when 4 years after the death of Hans, Christina died the day she was born 13 of May 1857. Ane Kirstine had buried 4 of nine children when Poul, her husband, died in 1859 at the age of 64. They were married for 16 years. 

A year later, their youngest child Karoline age 3, also died. At the time of this last loss in their family the oldest child William was 15, Maren was 11, Annie was 8, and Bodil Stine was 6.  After the family was taught the Gospel, Ana Kirstina decided to sell the farm. Though she was newly widowed with 4 children, she decided to take her family and join the Saints immigrating to Utah. However, she found that the sale of the farm did not provide enough means for all of them to go together. Her oldest son, William, stayed in Denmark to come later. The sea voyage to their landing port in America took 6 seasick weeks and the long 6-week journey by ox-team across the plains took another toll on their family. Midway through the journey 7-year-old Bodil died, was gently wrapped in a quilt, and buried beside the trail. It was several years later William, about 26 by then, joined his remaining family in Utah. The year was about 1870

Obituary:
"Descendant of Pioneer County Family Dies. "Word has been received here of the death and subsequent burial this week of a descendant of one of Warren County's pioneer families, Joseph Luther Taylor. "Taylor, 80, was a grandson of Joseph Taylor, Revolutionary War soldier whose grave is in this county. (He was the great-grandson of Joseph Taylor) His parents, the late Joseph Irvin and Mary Miller Taylor, moved from Warren County in 1870 in a covered wagon to Crawford County, Kansas, where they were to spend the remaining years of their lives. "A leading Methodist layman and cattle rancher, Taylor died Monday of a heart attack while on a train en route from Pittsburg, Kansas to his ranch at Mt. View, Okla. Burial services were held Wednesday at Pittsburg.

Short life sketch:

From “Family History of the Joseph Taylor, Jr. and Sarah Best Family”By Shari H. Franke

Thomas Best Taylor, born 9 July 1823, near Richardsville, Warren, Kentucky, married 27 February 1851, Mary Elizabeth Runner, at Warren County, Kentucky. M. J. Evans performed the ceremony. Her father, William Runner was bondsman for the marriage.

Thomas Best was a very handsome young man and a good farmer. Thomas must have felt a great responsibility when the Civil war started, for we know he joined the Union Army. He was a member of Company B, 38th Kentucky Infantry. He was shot in the arm accidentally by his own men while returning from a patrol. He was then taken to the Union Hospital at Evansville, Vanderburgh, Indiana, where he remained several months to recuperate. His arm had to be amputated and gangrene set in. Unfortunately, Thomas Best Taylor eventually died as a result of his wounds on 29 September 1862, at Evansville, Vanderburgh, Indiana. He was only 39 years old. He was buried at the U.S. Military Cemetery at Evansville.

Mary Elizabeth Runner, born 17 March 1827, near Richardsville, Warren, Kentucky, was the daughter of William Runner and his first wife, Margaret Penner. She was a devoted wife, who loved her husband very much. We understand that she rode horseback in the rain, from Richardsville, Warren, Kentucky to Evansville, Vanderburgh, Indiana to see her injured husband at the Union Hospital. How hard it must have been for Mary Elizabeth to lose her husband at such a young age! She was left with two little boys to raise alone. They were only eight and five years old when Thomas B. died.

Mary Elizabeth died on 18 November 1893, near Richardsville, Warren, Kentucky, where she was buried at the Green River Union Cemetery.

Biography of Joseph Nicholas Taylor Corrections/additions are in red

Joseph Nicholas Taylor was born in Warren Co. March 5, 1857.  

His father, Thomas Bascom Taylor (middle name should be Best, not Bascom) was born 1822, also in Warren Co. He married Miss Elizabeth Runner, and to them were born two sons, Jos. N. and Wm. I., the latter of whom graduated in Literature from DePauw University and afterward entered into the ministry in the Methodist Episcopal Church, and is at the present time (1885) engaged in ministerial work in Chicago, Ill. Elizabeth Runner Taylor was born March 1828 (1827). She is yet living (1885). Her parents, Wm. and Margaret Penner Runner were Virginians, came early to the state of Ky. and located in Warren Co.. Thomas Bascom (Best) Taylor was for a short time a member of Co. B. 38th Ky. Infantry. On account of wounds received accidentally he was placed in a military hospital at Evansville, Indiana, where he died. He had been before the war, a farmer, in which vocation he was successful and left a competency to his sons.  

His father, Jos. Taylor was a farmer and a native of North Carolina. He came to Ky. with his parents, who also located in Warren Co.. He died in 1864. He was a son of Jos. Taylor Sr. (should be Joseph Best Taylor).  

Joseph N. Taylor remained on the farm where he was born. He had, on attaining the age of 18, received a fair common school education, which he supplemented with a course in Prof. J. H. Hinton's academy in Simpson Co. Ky. At the age of twenty he left school and took charge of his father's farm of 40 acres, in which he now owns a large interest; he has for eight years managed his farming interests successfully. His attention is given principally to stock breeding. He has also lately invested some capital in Florida lands with a view of engaging in orange culture. Nov. 30, 1882, Mr. Taylor was united in marriage with Miss Lou (Louisa) Elrod, a daughter of Thos. And Mary Brown Elrod of Warren Co..  

Mr. Taylor's religious views are based on the tenets of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in which he holds the office of steward. Mrs. Taylor is a consistent member of the same faith. Mr. Taylor is a Republican, and lends his influence to his party
