John Clay Taber was a son of Bennet TABER and Mary CROSSMAN. See his father's bio for possible siblings of John.
John was a hatter by trade and also served as town constable in Urbana, Champaign Co., Ohio. He retired to Terre Haute, Indiana about 1865 where his sons operated a horse collar factory.
He died in either Vigo or Sullivan Counties in western Indiana. Different sources suggest he died in either 1872 or 1873. His burial location is unknown.
From The history of Champaign and Logan Counties : from their first settlement. Bellefontaine, Ohio: Press Print. Co., 1872: "John and Uriah Taber manufactured hats on the hill west of the square on West Main Street, near the present residence of E. Kimber." This would have been Emmor (or Emor) Kimber (1787-1885) who resided on Miami Street. Main street runs north and south, but Miami Street runs east and west through the square in Urbana, so Miami Street is surely what was meant by "Main Street".
