Nancy Alice MacCartty was born in Ohio in 1832. She married Ephraim Taylor in Pickaway, Ohio, on January 30, 1851.
Starting from Iowa in May 1862, the Taylor family joined a wagon train of 62 wagons led by John K. Kennedy. They had oxen and two covered wagons. There were eight children, and two men traveled with them.
Likely they followed the Mormon Trail north of the Platte River and joined the Oregon Trail near Fort Kearney in south-central Nebraska. In August, men from the Kennedy train had an encounter with Indians who had ambushed another horse-drawn wagon train and driven off the horses.
Among the wounded was Ephraim Taylor, shot through the side and back. The wound was cleansed by drawing a silk handkerchief through it, and he recovered.
The Taylors and the two men traveling with them reached Walla Walla with one wagon dragged by one horse and one cow.

In the 1870 Census, the Taylor family is listed as farming near Waitsburg, Walla Walla County, Washington Territory.
In 1878 the family moved from Walla Walla to Fix Ridge, Idaho Territory, where Ephraim continued farming. He died at Fix Ridge on July 26, 1888. Nancy died at Fix Ridge on November 17, 1896.
