Second wife (of 3) of William Steuben Taylor,
married 12 October 1815, Stamford, Delaware Co., New York
"Tragedy came early. In the fall of 1843[sic], just as the house was finished and on the very morning when she was to undertake the journey to the city to buy new furnishings, my great-grandmother was taken with chills and fever which quickly developed into pneumonia. In those days, the malady was called inflammation of the lungs, and bleeding was always prescribed. It is a wonder that anyone survived the treatment, and, indeed, in her case the remedy proved fatal immediately. She lived but three days."
