Notes:

THE LATE ANDREW TAYLOR

Mr. Andrew Taylor whose death was chronicled in the last issue of the REFORMER, was a very old resident of North Dumfries, having come with his parents, from Medina, N. Y., in 1832, when he was but three years old and has lived on the farm south of Galt ever since. He was of a somewhat retiring disposition and never took an active part in public affairs. He was a devoted member of Knox church, and filled the office of elder, for more than twenty years and during that time was an earnest and useful member. About the beginning of this year, a swelling commenced in the face, which developed into cancer, resulting in death on 28th ult., when he passed peacefully away, having retained all his faculties up to within a few hours of his death. The deceased was married, in 1856 to Miss Margaret Scott, daughter of the late Archibald Scott of Beverly, who survives him. The other members of the family are three daughters and four sons, Mrs. John Gillespie, Misses Maggie and Maria and Messrs. Thomas, Archie, James and John. The funeral took place on Thursday 30th inst. and was attended by a large concourse of friends and neighbors.

THOMAS TAYLOR 1795-1845

Married: Margaret Winton - 1826

Thomas Taylor was a millwright born in Dalkeith, Scotland and the great-grandfather of Andrew Winton Taylor. While working in New York state, in 1818, Mr. Taylor was engaged by the Honourable William Dickson to supervise the building of the Dumfries Mill, Galt's first grist mill. The mill opened in 1819 and later that same year, Mr. Taylor purchased Woodside farm on the East River Road on Concession 9 in Dumfries Township. Mr. Taylor returned to Scotland in 1826 where he married Margaret Winton. He returned to North America where he built several mills in upper New York state. In the fall of 1832, he returned to Canada and settled his family at Woodside farm. Mr. Taylor died on August 14, 1845 and was buried in the United Presbyterian Cemetery, now Centennial Park. That cemetery was closed in the 1880's and his remains were removed to Mount View Cemetery. Mr. Taylor's original tombstone can be found in the Pioneer Pergola in St. Andrews Park.

Notes:

Archibald Scott was born in 1798 in Ecclefechan, Dumfrieshire, Scotland. He married Jane Ballantyne and emigrated to Canada with his wife and then six children and settle in Scott's Corners in Beverly Twp in 1831. The original Scott homestead was owned first by George Weaver and then Samuel Congo before being purchased by Archibald on his arrival from Scotland.

Mr. Scott was a member of the Associate Church in Galt which was later known as the United Presbyterian before becoming First United Church. Mr. Scott died in 1865 on October 4th and was buried in Strang's burying ground in what is now know as High Park. His remains were later moved to Mount View Cemetary. His wife died about 1849.

When Archibald Scott's son John was married in 1856 to Mary Rutherford he moved to the East River Road south of Galt and left John on the old farm at Scott's Corners.

The farm south of Galt was at one time part of the land owned by John Telfer. Its deed shows that in 1847 it was purchased by David Potter. In 1858 that part of the land west of the Great West Railway was bought by Archibald Scott. After his death that land was bought in 1870 by Mr. Archibald Scott's son-in-law Andrew Taylor. It has since remained in the hands of the Taylor family.
