R. T. [Richard Thomas] and S.[eptimus] L. TAYLOR, Jr., farmers.  Septimus 

Taylor is the son of Maj. Dick Taylor, and grandson of Septimus Taylor, 

and great-grandson of "Harrison Taylor at the mill," of whom mention is 

elsewhere made; he was born in Ohio County, near Rochester, Butler 

County, on December 1, 1822, and passed his youth and young manhood in 

his native home.  On the 18th of September, 1845, he married Betsy Mary 

Shultz, only daughter of Joseph Shultz, one of the oldest and most 

wealthy farmers in Ohio County.  She was born in 1826.  The result of 

this marriage is eleven children: Delilah, wife of P. W. Thomasson, of 

Butler County; Dr. J. W. Taylor, a practicing physician of Cromwell, 

married to Miss Florence Paxton; Betsy Mary, wife of E. Perry, of Butler; 

Richard Thomas, Septimus L., Jr.; Sarah S., deceased; Galen, deceased; 

Jefferson Davis, married to Miss Mattie Moore; Florence, wife of M. A. 

Herreld, of Butler; James G. and Laura E.  All the family had good 

advantages for obtaining an education, which were well improved, and they 

have an enviable reputation throughout the country as a family the most 

wealthy, enterprising and influential in that locality.  Mr. Taylor owns 

about 1,100 acres of first class land, well stocked, in the Big Bend of 

the Green River, and has a large and commodious home.  S. L. and R. T. 

Taylor, our subjects, own what is known as "Taylor's Lake;" a beautiful 

sheet of water, two and a half miles in length and one-eighth of a mile 

in width; it is well stocked with all kinds of fish and is a summer 

resort for those who love to sail and fish.  Septimus L., Jr., is a 

teacher of much experience and success.
