Not illustrated. 1908 edition. Excerpt: ...of a number of estates, so that it seems marvelous how any one could have found time to do all that he did. December 2, 1742, he makes for William Plumstead, Registrar-General, an elaborate statement of "the practice of Justices of the Peace in Philadelphia, in settling intestates' accounts in the Orphans' Court;" and for his own use he prepared a "Memorandum of Wills," showing the points to be made, and to be guarded in drawing them. In his memorandum book he notes that he requires a copy of Swinburne's Treatment of Testaments and Last Wills, and The Clerk's Remembrancer, by G. Jacobs. Among the Taylor papers is a vigorous letter to William Moore, who I conjecture was his second wife's brother-in-law, taking him to task for some political intrigue in which he was engaged with Isaac Wayne, father of Anthony Wayne. This letter was apparently written about 1741. Evidently, the coalition of interests between Wayne and Moore was not to Taylor's profit, and he speaks harshly of both of the men. But his imperiousness comes out nowhere so noticeably as it does in his quarrel with his second wife. This marriage was apparently an unhappy one. There had been trouble from the beginning. Something in the manner of the marriage did not please the Society of Friends. It may have been that his wife was not of that persuasion, but whatever it was, they called him to account, and set a day for a hearing. He did not attend, and afterward plead the urgency of the Proprietor's business as an excuse; but he writes, December 7, 1734, to his friends, Harry Obourn and Ralph Eavenson, expressing his desire for peace and harmony, but plainly intending that the case shall not be decided adversely to him without his defence having been first...

Excerpt from The Collateral Ancestry of Stephen Harris, Born September 4, 1798, and of Marianne Smith, Born April 2, 1805 This book, with the Harris Record which was printed in 1903, and the Smith Record which was printed in 1906, completes the sketches which I have prepared relating to my ancestry in all its lines back to the emigration to this country, which occurred between 1682 and 17 45. It will be noticed that so far as these sketches show I am of wholly British origin for several hundred years, as there are no names herein contained suggesting another origin, and as my people mostly come from the interior and western part of England or Scotland, where the population has changed but little for a long period. It will of course be noticed that the sketches herein given do not, as the Harris and Smith records did, bring down these families to the present time, but only to the date at which a female member of my ancestry in each family married into some other family whose male descent carried down my ancestry a little further. I have information in some of these families which comes down later than what is herein printed, but my purpose was only to give my own line of descent.
