Taylor Wadleigh b. in Fisherfield, NH, Dec 8, 1799, was about three years old when his parents settled in Hatley. His early opportunities of education had been limited to the defective schools of the settlement, but his native good sense, shrewdness, and general observation enabled him to overcome in a great measure the defects of his early school training. Such was the clearness of his perception,that he seemed to grasp intuitively almost any subject presented to him, and in private discussion and in public debate, he was excelled by very few. He was a first rate farmer, ever ready to adopt improvements and to infuse a spirit of enterprise among his neighbors.
He took an active interest in the politics of the country, and associated himself with the Radical Reform Party, and was active in the agitation which resulted in the rebellion of 1837-1839. In the fall of 1837 he was arrested on a charge of high treason and confined for a few weeks it the Montreal jail. On examination no evidence was adduced against him and he was set at liberty. He lived, however, to see the principles he advocated at least in part acknowledged and the Government administered in accordance with his views of justice and right.
In early life he m. Malinda Hovey. She d' July 26, 1864. He d November 29, 1866.
Children; Horatio, Malinda (m Edward Hawes), Alice C, Everett and Ellen.
