There were many Taylors that immigrated to America in Colonial times. It is difficult to title a history such as this so that one can identify the particular Taylor family involved. The earliest confirmed member of the family chronicled herein was a Benjamin Taylor who lived in Windsor County, Vermont in the early 1800's and proceeds from there.
The history is presented in six separate sections, the first two being the direct line of Taylors.
As a supplement to this, succeeding chapters outline the history of collateral lines that fed into
that of the Taylors. These are given in the order in which those lines joined the Taylor line.
