Thaddeus Taylor (April 10, 1744-Sept 11, 1825) was born in Dunstable MA, one of eleven or perhaps twelve children. Thaddeus Taylor was a farmer, who established a home in the southwest corner of New Ipswich. His name appears in town records beginning in 1776.

The first immigrant Taylor of Thaddeus' line was Englishman William Taylor (1625-1696), whose wife was Mary Merriam (1630-1699). William is said to have arrived from England on the ship True Love in 1635 [. . .] and settled in Concord, MA. Mary and William's son was Abraham Taylor (1656-1729), who married Mary Whittaker (1660-1681/2). Their son Abraham Jr (1681-?) was born just before Mary died.

Abraham Jr was the husband of Sarah Pellet (1685-1710), whose parents were Mary Dane (?-?) and Thomas Pellet (?-?). Sarah Pellet and the second Abraham Taylor were the parents of "Deacon" Samuel Taylor (Oct 1, 1708-Oct 28, 1792), who, with his wife, Susanna or Sarah Perham (1712-1798), were the first of this line to move from Concord to Dunstable, MA. They were the parents of eleven (or twelve) children, including Thaddeus Taylor.

In 1767, Thaddeus Taylor married Bridget Walton (1746-1851) of Reading, MA. They were the parents of nine children, four sons and five daughters. The names of the children are:

Thaddeus (Oct 25-1768-Feb 11, 1864) (moved to Grafton VT, and raised a family there);

Rachel (Nov 8, 1770-?) (married Stephen Brooks June 7, 1791);

John (Feb 26, 1773-?) (married Sally Jones Dec 5, 1798);

Catherine (Feb 16, 1775-Jan 6, 1831) (Sept 19, 1799, married Edmund Jones);

Mary (June 12, 1777-?) (married Aaron Brooks).

Susannah (June 5, 1779-?) (married Jonas Barrett Jr, April 30, 1801)

Samuel (Oct 12, 1781-?)

The eighth child, Oliver Swayne Taylor (1784-1885), was the third great grandfather of this contributor, through his son Charles Taylor (1819-1987) and Charles wife, Charlotte Gamewell (18280-1910).

Hepzybeth (Sept 8, 1789-Dec 8, 1839) (June 16, 1814, married Benjamin Williams)

Thaddeus Taylor is considered among the "New Ipswich Revolutionary Soldiers" (HISTORY OF NEW IPSWICH by Charles Henry Chandler and Sarah Fiske Lee, Sentinel Printing Co, 1914, pp. 95-96), having joined with sixty-four other New Ipswich men who rode on horseback to meet "a sally of tories from Canada into the state of Vermont" in the first half of 1780. "Thad Taylor" was assigned to the company of Captain Joseph Parker. The men traveled on horseback "to meet the especially offensive attack." The Canadians apparently withdrew, as the New Ipswich soldiers were gone but four days and left no record of an engagement with the enemy. The company did submit to the town an accounting of expenses totaling 20 pounds 2 shillings.

Thaddeus Taylor was actively interested in the education not only of his own children but of the children of New Ipswich. In 1803 he was appointed to a ten-member committee "to inspect the several schools in town."

Thaddeus and his wife Bridget Walton Taylor are buried in the (South) Smithville Cemetery, Binney Hill Road, west of intersection with Taylor Road, New Ipswich. The first New Ipswich cemetery was laid out in 1752 on Farrar Hill, opposite the first Meeting House. In 1778 a second cemetery was established. This was the South Cemetery near Smithville, where Thaddeus and Bridget Taylor are buried.

In 1809, land was purchased for a third cemetery, called the Main Cemetery. By 1889, Main Cemetery, apparently supplanted by newer burying grounds, lay "neglected and unsightly," but was then subjected to a wholesale refurbishing by a combination of private and public funding and effort. In 1906-07 the inscriptions on the headstones were copied by Charles Henry Chandler. At that time, 1673 burials had been recorded in the three cemeteries although some graves were not marked in any way. This cemetery information may be found in "History of New Ipswich New Hampshire, 1735-1914 With Genealogical Records of the Principle Families," by Charles Henry Chandler and Sarah Fiske Lee (Fitchburg, MA: Sentinel Printing Co, 1914, pp. 152-153).
