This is a supplement written by Rev. B. S. Taylor brought down to 10/1892

Wishing to establish a stronger tie of friendship among ourselves, and to preserve the history and perpetuate the memory of the early settlers of Dover, Ohio, we, the living descendents of the same, do presume to pen this little pamphlet. For much of early record, to the time of Rebecca Taylor's marriage to Jonathan Smith (1764), we are indebted to Henry Boardman Taylor, of Moores, N.Y., who spent much time and labor gathering historical matter which he published in a little memoir of the Taylor family.

In this article we can only give facts and incidents concisely, hoping it will be but a beginning of a further and a more complete work taken up and followed out by other hands as time brings its changes, and we, children of to-day, shall fulfill the desires of the fathers and mothers of 1904.

In the year 1635 the ship Truelove sailed from London, Eng., bearing a family whose history we know not except that they were of noted ancestry. The name of this family was Taylor. They settled on the coast of Massachusetts, but later moved to Yarmouth where their son Richard was married to Ruth Burgess. Richard and wife built their cabin by the side of a large rock, hence his name, Richard Rock Taylor, to distinguish him from another man who bore the same name but who had no children. So we trace our lineage directly from this family of puritans. He was a farmer by occupation. He died 1703. His wife, Ruth, died 1693.

We find, by tracing the record for five generations down from Richard Rock Taylor's family, that a lady by the name of Rebecca Jerusha Taylor, married Jonathan Smith, hence this fact is the foundation stone upon which we build our authority in tracing the Smith genealogy. 

Jonathan Smith was the son of Joseph Smith of Beverly, Mass., who moved to Ashfield, where evidently the two families became acquainted and remained friends.

Tradition says: "The Smith's were of noted ancestry, also descending from nobility and immigrants to this country of the famous mayflower." Rebecca Jerusha Taylor was born at Hardwick, Mass. Unto them were born six children---- George, Stephen, Rosnell, Rachel, Rebecca and Hepsibeth. George was drowned at the mouth of Rocky River soon after their settlement in Dover.
