Married Rutha in 1822. Peleg came from Rhode Island
and is a descendent of Samuel Gorton. There is a book titled The Life and Times
of Samuel Gorton and it is fascinating reading. |
Gorton, Rutha
(Taylor) |
1804 |
1872 |
w/o Peleg. Rutha is not related
to any early Vermillion County Taylor settlers. Her tombstone says she was
born in Missouri but she was more likely born in Kentucky. There is considerable
research attempting to state that Rutha is a brother of Dr. John Taylor
of Missouri. Descendents petitioned Congess stating that John was an Native
American and so was Rutha. If this was true or accepted by the Dawes Commission,
then offspring of Rutha would be entitled to a check from the government. The Dawes
Commission denied their claim. Keep in mind that people do not change. During that
time, attorneys were going from door to door saying I can proves that
you have Indian blood and I can make you rich. Does this sound familiar? Also
Rutha stated her place of birth was Kentucky in every Census. |

s/o John. John
was born in
Ireland and married Martha
Jane Propst in Page, Virginia. Most likely, John came to America during
Irelands Potato Famine. Martha is the
daughter of Benjamin
Propst and Eva Louderback. They moved to Edgar, IL about the
same time, and probably,
at the same time as John and Martha moved to Vermillion, IN.
Two of
Benjamins brothers,
Isaac and Ruben had settled in Vermillion prior. |
