Original Post 4/22/2014 (Lisa's Family Pages)I was able to go back one more generation on the Davidson/ Liscombe family tree. Specifically the Liscombe side. Not only did I find the names of my 5th Great Grandparents, but I also found the place they were from in Ireland. This is often hard to find.
William Taylor was born in County Sligo, Ireland around 1788. He married Susanna Conboy in Ireland. In 1837 they travelled to Canada with two of their children, one of whom is our direct ancestor Margaret Taylor. Their third child, John Taylor, was born on the Atlantic Ocean during their voyage to North America.
William and Susanna (aka Susan) settled in Brock, Ontario where they had more children and farmed their land.
Susanna Conboy Taylor died in 1860 around the age of 58. It is noted in the 1861 Canadian Census that she died of Breast Cancer. William Taylor died a Gentleman in 1881 at the age of 95 years and 10 months young. It is noted on his death record that he was the oldest man in the Township of Brock, Ontario.
