Rev. Edward Taylor and Ruth (Wyllys) Taylor. The former was born in Leicestershire, England, in 1642, and was educated for the ministry among the Dissenters.

He was well connected in England, and on coming to this country brought letters of introduction to a number of prominent people. Finishing his education at Cambridge in 1671, he subsequently became pastor at Westfield, Connecticut, four years before the breaking out of King Philip's war, and from that time on for many years was the spiritual adviser and physician for the large area of country adjacent to that place. In the year 1674 he married Miss Elizabeth Fitch, who died in 1689, leaving eight children. In the year 1692 he married Miss Ruth Wyllys, of Hartford, Connecticut. From Rev.

The Taylor family seems especially prolific in ministers. Source: History of Texas Biographical History of the Cities of Houston and Galveston (1895)
