She married Robert Taylor in Vermont, Their children were Hiram M Taylor 1845-1880, Joseph H Taylor 1846-1933, William Robert Taylor 1847-1922, Daniel Smith Taylor 1851-1935, Susan Ann Taylor Landers 1851-1880, Mary Letisha Moll Taylor McDonald 1860-1899, Cecelia Marie "Celia" Taylor Woolley Coburn 1861-1941.
Questions arise about this Grandmother, as her age varies from Census to Census. And family fables from long ago, such as, "She may have had Indian Blood, or was perhaps an Iroquois Princess" another suggested that she was an orphan taken in by a preacher and his family, but given into an arranged marriage with an older man. None of which can be proven. But her children just loved her and called her Ma, and Robert called her Cece or CC as long as she would listen. But when she'd had enough wandering, she struck roots in Missouri, and earned her way as a trusted Midwife of the community. Her family rises up and calls her blessed. (by her 3x great granddaughter, Carolyn Blackwelder.)
