Born in Connecticut, moved to Plainfield with her family c1770, married Nov 4, 1777 to Pvt Jasher Taylor of next door Ashfield , Franklin, Mass. Living on S Cape St, she had at least 11 children with Jasher who according to his nephew was out serving in the Revolutionary War most every year. The family moved 1797 to Lenox, Berkshire, Mass and Dolly joined the Church on the Hill in Lenox along with her mother in law Thankful Phinney. Their Lenox farm was down near the Stockbridge line. In late 1812 moved with other families to Dover, Cuyahoga, Ohio where they had traded their small Lenox farm for 552 acres of virgin forest. Two daughters Anna & Rhoda stayed behind in Lenox and one son Reuben age 20 died on the trip west Jan 6 1813 at Springfield PA on the Ohio/Pennylvania border just 85 miles from their destination. Several of her children may have joined the 1st group from Lenox that left in Jun 1811. Dying in August 1824, she was a true pioneer of Dover trading a house in Lenox for a log cabin in Dover. Five of her sons, Henry, Jonathan, John, Dennis and Steven and two of her daughters Temperance and Abigail went on to create sucessful farms and families in the Dover area and were active in town government. Dolly and Jasher provided that their disabled son Enos would be cared for for the rest of his life. Dolly was likely originally buried on the family farm OL 77 in Dover, reinterred with her husband Jasher at the Crocker/Clemans cemetery and when the Crocker/Clemans cemetery remains moved to Evergreen, we believe she is likely buried in the unmarked grave to the right of her husband.
