Son of - Jonathan Taylor & Barsheba Daniel
Second husband of Sarah Jane Tilley Taylor Taylor, and cousin of her first husband; Landon Bradford Taylor.
Noah D. Taylor died during an Oglala Sioux Indian massacre after joining up with a wagon train that had started from Eastern Kansas and heading towards Montana. The massacre that occurred near Little Box Elm Crossing in Wyoming claimed the lives of five people and is known as the Kelly - Larimer Massacre.
Noah and three others, a Reverend Sharp; a black employee of the Kelly's named Franklin; and an Unknown male traveler were buried in a single grave right where they were killed. The other victim was a young girl named Mary Hurley Kelly who was captured and then killed when she attempted to escape later on that same day.

The grave Noah shared with the other three men was relocated during the 1954 construction of a reservoir. Although it was a little distance from the others, Mary was also buried where she was killed. When the other men's grave was moved, they were reburied closer to Mary's grave.
