In the year 1692 Rev Edward Taylor married Miss Ruth Wyllys, of Hartford, Connecticut. This lady was the daughter of Samuel Wyllys, who was born in the year 1632, and who for over thirty years was a State Senator. Her grandfather, John Haynes, was Governor of Massachusetts in 1635, but two years later removed to Hartford, Connecticut, where, in 1639, he was elected Governor of that State. Every alternate year he was elected to that position until about 1654. From Rev. Edward and Ruth (Wyllys) Taylor were descended some of the foremost men of New England, among them legislators, jurists, physicians, college presidents and ministers of the gospel. The Taylor family seems especially prolific in ministers. Source: History of Texas Biographical History of the Cities of Houston and Galveston (1895)
