He clearly made an impression on William's father, William Taylor Jr (1757-1835), who served under Steuben while encamped at Valley Forge, and at the Battles of Monmouth and Stony Point. In addition to William's middle name, he named a son after the "Baron": Steuben Taylor (1795-1824). The name appears frequently for generations thereafter among several descendant Taylor lines.
22 September 1807: married Nancy Wickham in Canton (known as West Simsbury bef. 1806), Hartford Co., Connecticut.
1808-1810: removed from Canton to Barkhamsted, Litchfield Co., Connecticut.
1814: following the death of his first wife, William Steuben Taylor left Barkhamsted with their three young children and established a farm in Jefferson, Schoharie Co., New York. The famed Taylor Farm, near what later became Stamford, Delaware Co., New York, remained in family operation through the late 20th century (today, a B&B!) as wonderfully recounted by his great-grandson, George Danforth Taylor (1888-1959) in "These Hills Are Not Barren, the Story of a Century Farm", Exposition Press, New York, 1950.
12 October 1815: married Nancy Agnes Rickey in Stamford, Delaware Co., New York.
15 September 1850: married Eunice M. Mallison in Stamford, Delaware Co., New York.
