Thomas was the son of a Revolutionary War soldier, Major James Taylor Sr.
Thomas Taylor was County Recorder from 1808 to 1814.
Thomas married Laura Wells, February 8, 1816.
Thomas had a tannery on the square in Newark, Ohio.
On July 4, 1825 on James Taylor's family property groundbreaking ceremonies took place for the Ohio and Erie Canal. The location was just south of Newark at Licking Summit. That location was known as Taylor's Locks. Locks No's. 3, 2 and 1 (Taylor's Locks), Northern Ascent.
The Taylor family built a distillery in the area.
Quoted from "History of Licking County: It's Past and Present". 1881
" From 1801 to 1810, Newark barely had an existence, containing a score or two log cabins, erected in the midst of a great forest, but upon the ruins of an ancient city of the Mound Builders. Black's "tavern" was a log building, on the east side of the frog pond, now known as the public square. It was, probably, the most important building in the place, standing high and dry on an elevated piece of ground, which has since been leveled. Whether this elevation was an artificial one the record does not say. Some years afterwards this log building was replaced by a brick, which was painted a bright green color, and was called the "Green tavern." That building in turn gave way to the present substantial one. It has, in all these years, changed hands many times. Some of its early landlords were, James Black, James Taylor, Thomas Taylor, Major Huston, Willard Warner, G. C. Harrington."
