The Following Biography was taken from a book listed in sources below.

-M-
2nd GGfather

JOHN A. TAYLOR has been a resident of Utah since 1854, his parents crossing the plains by ox teams while he was yet a small boy, and this has since been his home. He was born in Caldwell County, Texas, February 16, 1846, and is the son of John and Eleanor (Burkett) Taylor. The father was born in Bowling Green County, Kentucky. in 1812, and was the oldest son of William and Elizabeth (Patrick) Taylor; and a brother to Pleasant Green Taylor, of whom a biographical sketch appears elsewhere in this work.

He joined the Mormon Church in 1833 and passed through all the terrible experiences which was the lot of the Mormon people in Missouri and Illinois, up to 1845, at which time he went to Texas, and remained there until 1854, when he made the trip over the plains in his own company of three wagons, bringing his family with him, and arrived in Salt Lake City in August of that year.  He at once settled at what is now Five Points, Ogden, and in 1856 moved to Slaterville, remaining there until 1864, when he went to Montana and lived there ten years. In 1874 he came back to Plain City, and remained there up to the time of his death, in 1895.

John and Mary's headstone

He located a number of farms in Weber County and also in Madison Countv, Montana, and at the time of death owned a farm of one hundred and twelve acres in this county. During his lifetime he was one of the prominent Church workers. He joined the reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in 1863, and was a member of that organization at the time he died. His wife is still living in Ogden.

Death Certificate for John

They had a family of twelve children:  Alma, T. A., Joseph, Sarah, wife of John Knight; Mary, wife of Sam Hiatt; John A., our subject; Hyrum. William, Eliza, wife of Isaac Luckey; Minerva, wife of Samuel Page; Henry and Amanda, the wife of Charles Chase. Our subject has a vivid memory of the long trip across the plains, although he was but eight years of age, and the greater part of his life has been spent in Utah. He obtained but a scant supply of book knowledge, having to assist in the support of the family at an early age, and the advantages of schooling offered to the children of that day being but meager.

When twenty-four years of age he began dealing in real estate, buying and selling land, and in 1899 bought the old homestead, to which he has made some additions and now has three hundred acres of valuable farming land, all under cultivation and well-irrigated. He has followed farming and stock-raising principally, and in 1887, together with his sons, he bought a farm in Bingham County, Idaho, where he keeps a good-sized herd of cattle and horses, the place being looked after by his sons. He has a seventeen-acre fruit orchard, bearing all kinds of fruit, which yields him a yearly income averaging a thousand dollars.

He has also been a prime mover in numerous home enterprises, being interested in the Chief Canning factory, the Harrisville Creamery, and a Director in the Plain City Irrigation Company. He was for some years a Trustee in the Poplar School District, and assisted in building many of the schools and meeting houses of his county. Politically he is a believer in the principles of the Democratic party, but has never taken part in its work to the extent of seeking for office. He has been a member of the Mormon Church since he was eight years of age, and is a member of the Elders' Quorum.

John Ammon Taylor and Mary Hannah (Poulsdatter) Taylor Family
Back row:  Parley, Elmer, Charles, John, Ether, George
Front Row: Hyrum, Mary, John, William

Mr. Taylor was united to Hannah Paulson in 1868, and by her has had a family of ten children.

John Ammon Taylor's obit

She is a daughter of Paul and Annie ( Rasmussen) Paulson. The children are John H., a teacher in the Sunday School, and also Trustee of this school district; William, teaching school; Francis, a civil engineer ; Eliza, wife of Isaac Hewett; Charles, Burt, Parley P., Lester Grant, died in infancy, and Elmer. Mr. Taylor passed through the Black Hawk Indian War and is a member of the Black Hawk Veterans' Association. Since he located in Plain City he has had a part in all enterprises for the betterment of the community and is one of the prominent men here. He began at the foot of the ladder, his worldly property consisting of one yoke of oxen, and from this humble beginning has come to be one of the successful men of Weber County. He has been upheld and assisted by his noble wife, and after his children grew to be of an age to take an interest in the business they have helped take the heavier part of the burden off his shoulders, and the family is highly respected in this part of the State, where they are well known.

This photo was labeled "John Ammon Taylor Sep 3 1933" and on the back was written "Taylor Reunion, Will's birthday". At the bottom was the note: John Henry Deceased. I feel it safe to assume that these were the remaining children of John Ammon and Hannah as of September 1933.

Utah State Tuberculosis Sanitarium

Note:  I found the following information about the Sanatorium:   "The hot springs near the mouth of Ogden Canyon had visitors for centuries, and in 1904 the Ogden Canyon Sanitarium was opened there by G. W. Perkins and John D. Carnahan. In 1906 the Ogden Rapid Transit Company extended its lines to the sanitarium, and visitors suggested that their bodies were relieved by soaking in the mineral waters of the thermal springs. They also purged their bodies by drinking te mineral water, not unlike the actions of visitors to Bath in England. in 1919 a dance hall and lunchroom were built adjacent to the sanitarium; however, in 1927 the all-wooden structure burned to the ground. The next year A. V. Smith bought the resort and rebuilt it, naming it El Monte Springs. Smith promoted his resort, which featured wrestling, gaming, swimming, private mineral baths, and marathon dances. Smith was unable to pay his bills, however, and from 1932 to 1942 the site remained vacant. It was purchased in 1942 by Harman W. Perry and renamed Riverside Gardens. This historic and scenic site is now known as Rainbow Gardens.  
Personal note:  Rainbow Gardens is still there - as of 2023 and is a popular gift shop/restaurant combination. I have been there many times.

Arthur Allen 1607-1669 Alice Tucker 1613

The pictures are from an old magazine.  It may have been Architectural Digest or Life Magazine (the page was large), The picture and paragraph explaining the architecture was on page 36 along with other famous houses.

From Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacon's_Rebellion

Bacon's Castle, also known as "Allen's Brick House" or the "Arthur Allen House" is located in Surry County, Virginia, USA.

Soon after Surry County was formed in the Royal Colony of Virginia in 1652, Arthur Allen built a Jacobean brick house in 1665 near the James River, where he and his wife Alice (née Tucker) lived. He was a wealthy merchant and a Justice of the Peace in Surry County. Allen died in 1669, but his son, Major Arthur Allen II, inherited the house and property.

The Allen family's brick home became known as "Bacon's Castle" because it was occupied by the followers of Nathaniel Bacon during Bacon's Rebellion in 1676. The name "Bacon's Castle" was not used until many years after Bacon's Rebellion.

The following from online: museumintern.blogspot.com

... It was noted in his diaries that when he returned to live back at his home, after Bacon's rebels took it over, the largest amount of damage was in the cellar and that no wine was left drinkable. Archeologists from AVPA have found wine bottles broken in fireplaces and areas around the backyard where bonfires took place.

(Colonel) Arthur Allen

Parents:  John Allen and Unknown mother
Born: 1608 Worcester, England
Christened 23 Oct 1608 St. Andrew, Droitwich, Worcester, England
Note:  Name is spelled Arthure in record
Occupation: Merchant (also listed as a Merchant in Bristol, England), Justice of the Peace, Planter (tobacco)
Excerpt from Encyclopedia Virginia (link in sources section below for full article):

Arthur Allen became an agent for tobacco merchants in Bristol, England, and arrived in Virginia during the 1640's (note:  other sources claim 1630's). He amassed one of the largest plantations in Surry County by the 1660's. 

He probably arrived in Virginia during the 1640's as an agent for tobacco merchants trading out of Bristol, in which capacity he made at least one return trip to Bristol.  he also dealt with several leading London merchants.  Among them Micajah Perry, Phillip Perry, and Thomas Lane.  by 1649, Allen had settled between Lawnes Creek and Chippokes Creek in the southern part of James City County.  When that area became Surry County in 1652, Allen was appointed to the court, and by 1661 he was a member of the quorum.  he also served on the vestry of Lawnes Creek Parish.

Arthur Allen may have married twice, not once in 1650 as stated in early histories of Surry County and Bacon's Castle; and he probably had at least 7 children, not the two or three who are mentioned in some accounts of the family.  His first son, Humphrey Allen, was probably born in England early in the 1630's and died in Virginia in 1666.  Note the wording of this paragraph:  He MAY have married twice and PROBABLY had about 7 children and that Humphrey was PROBABLY born in England.  

Arthur inherited Allen's Brick House (pictured above), carried on the family name, and had a long and varied political career.  Allen's FOUR daughters all married well, with the result that some of the areas most notable persons were descended from him.

Mary Long, the wife of Arthur Long, who commanded the company of Bacon's men who occupied Allen's Brick House, was probably yet another of Arthur Allen's daughters. 

Allen died after May 15 1669 (he sat with the county court on that date and by June when the tax lst was compiled, his widow, Alice, was charged with the eleven tithables resident at Allen's plantation. 

Married 1) unknown in England (according to the above source, which has no verification)
2) Alice Tucker abt 1630 possibly in Virginia, but she was 'imported' in 1649 with four others, so likely England)
Died:  Abt June 1669 Virginia

CHILDREN

Please note:  
These children were not born at Bacon's Castle which was built in 1665. 
Their birth year and order is also debatable. 
If the parents were married when Arthur was 18, the first child could have been born in 1626.  If that is the case, a few may have been born in England since according to the source ( jliptrap.us/gen/aallen.htm) Arthur did not arrive in America until 1630's.  He "imported" four people, including Alice, his wife, in 1649/50, so it could be that some of these children were born in England (the source did not list who the four people were).

Occupation: Major Allen was a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses
From Encyclopedia of Virginia [Page 170]

Allen, Maj. Arthur, was the son and heir of Arthur Allen, of Surry county, and of his wife, Alice Tucker. Maj. Allen's father, in 1749, patented 200 acres between Lawne's Creek and Lower Chippoakes Creek. Maj. Allen was burgess from Surry county in 1682, in 1685-86 and in 1688. In the last-named session he was speaker of the assembly. He married Katherine, daughter and heiress of Cap. Laurence Baker, of Surry. On July 3, 1677, Mr. Arthur Allen sued Mr. Robert Burgess for that "during the most Horrid Rebellion (Bacon's rebellion) he with others did seize and keep garrison in the pit's house neare fower months." This ancient brick mansion is still standing, one of the oldest houses in Virginia, and is known as "Bacon's Castle" (1914). Maj. Allen's will was proved in Surry court, Sept. 5, 1710.

Married 1) Katherine Baker abt 1658
Children:  Arthur, Elizabeth, John, Catherine, James, Ann, Mary, Joseph

Note:  Originally, the family group sheet listed his birth year 1705, but, upon further research, I found his parents had 2 Josephs - one in 1705 and one in 1712.  I used the second one because the first likely died.  The dates still work, though it means he was married when he was about 18 instead of 25.

CHILDREN

Note:  The first three children I based on time/location.  The parents were married in 1730.  On my original FGS, the children started with Joshua.  Then, as I began to research, common sense told me it was likely they had other children born to their union - earlier than Joshua (especially with 6 years of marriage before he was born).  I searched the local area.  Heartshead is only 6.3 walking miles to Woodkirk/West Ardsley.

Revolutionary War

*Colonel Joseph Doane
Christened 6 Aug 1721 Truro, Barnstable, Massachusetts

Joseph Christening record

Military: Revolutionary War: Colonel Joseph Doane's (2nd Barnstable Co.) regiment of Massachusetts militia

On the occasion of the city of Chatham's 200th anniversary, speech given by James Hawes in 1912 (see the link below):  

Chatham was represented in this (Provincial) Congress by Captain Joseph Doane. It recommended, among other things, if I may use a modern term, a boycott on tea. 

A third congress met May 31st, 1775, and Chatham was again represented by Joseph Doane, then styled "Colonel". At a town meeting December 27, 1774, a considerable number of persons signed the association recommended by the Provincial Congress not to drink or use any tea after March 1st following. 

 On January I8, 1775, the military company was reorganized. Lieut. Benjamin Godfrey was made captain; Mr. Richard Sears lieutenant; Mr. Joseph Crowell ensign, and Mr. John Emery military clerk. The town clerk remarks that all this was very pleasing to the citizens. Capt. Godfrey commanded a company at the battle of Bunker Hill. 

 August 13, 1776, the town raised 32 pounds for bounty for soldiers who enlisted in the Northern Department, and 16 pounds, four shillings for powder bought for the town's use. 

December 14, 1776, the selectmen reported that they had procured nine men to go to Rhode Island for three months, at a bounty of nine pounds and fourteen shillings each. 

May 19, 1777. additional bounty was VI voted. The town also agreed to take care of the families of soldiers.

In January, 1776, under a call for troops, a regiment had been raised in Plymouth and Barnstable counties. Thomas Hamilton, of Chatham, was adjutant. About the same time the Cape was divided into two regiments, Chatham falling into the second, of which Joseph Doane became colonel. Another call for troops was made the same year, Chatham's quota being 26. 

In April, 1778, five men were called for from the town. In 1779 there was a further call and in December, 1780, a call for nine men. In the meantime, there had been calls on the town for clothing and provisions for the army.

February 22, 1778, the selectmen and James Ryder, lieutenant of the militia company, reported that there had been raised in the town in 1777 ten men for three years and 20 men for eight months. 

Of these, Sergeant Hyatt Young and Benjamin Bassett served during the war. Joseph Young, son of Hyatt, was among the eight months' men. Hyatt Young had served in the previous French war. A monument to him and his son Joseph stands in the Universalist Cemetery. 

John Young, who served in 1776, and enlisted for three years in 1777, was reported drowned in 1778. In September, 1778, Capt. Benjamin Godfrey's company and Capt. Nathan Bassett's company of Chatham men, on an alarm to Falmouth and New Bedford, served for a few days. Chatham men were also on short term service in Rhode Island and at the throwing up of entrenchments at Dorchester Heights in the spring of 1776, when Gen. Washington drove the British from Boston. 

The Cape men were largely in service on the Coast Guard, Capt. Thomas Hamilton's company, which consisted mostly of Chatham men, served on the coast from July to December, 1775. Cape Cod men were largely drawn upon to man the numerous privateers that preyed upon the British commerce. 

Among others the sloop "Wolf," of which Capt. Nathaniel Freeman of Harwich (now Brewster) was commissioned master September 13, 1776, Joseph Doane of Chatham being lieutenant, had Chatham men in her crew. She had a brief career, being soon after sailing captured by a British 74 gun ship disguised as a merchantman. The crew were carried to Brooklyn, N. Y., and placed in the prison ships, but were exchanged at Newport, R. I., February 11, 1777. 

No doubt many local incidents occurred during the Revolutionary war of which there is no record. One has been preserved. June 20, 1782, a British privateer sent some men into the harbor under cover of darkness and took possession of a brigantine. They hoisted the British flag on her and attempted to take her and a sloop out of the harbor under protection of the guns of the privateer. But the local military company, under Col. Benjamin Godfrey and Capt. Joseph Doane, assembled on the shore and by a well-directed fire compelled the British to abandon the vessels, and they were recaptured.
