WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON TAYLOR, in for- mer years an enterprising and successful business man of Washington County and one of its most respected citizens, was also a native son, born in South Strabane Township. His parents were Matthew and Nancy Jane (Hutchinson) Taylor. He was a grandson, on the pa- ternal side, of Henry Taylor, who came to this county from Cecil County, Md., some time prior to 1780. Henry Taylor was the first judge or president of the courts of Washington County, being thus appointed by the chief executive council of Pennsylvania October 2, 1781, the county having been organized in the preceding March. He served with ability in this position for several years and after a brief interval, was reappointed in 1788, He had what was then known as a "tomahawk right" to over 1,200 acres of land in the Rich Hills, in this coun- ty, all of which, with the exception of the Matthew Taylor estate of South Strabane Township, has since passed out of the family. Judge Henry Taylor was also a general in the militia and his commission as such is still in the possession of the family. He married Jane White and they had eleven children. In the year 1800, this sturdy old pioneer, whose character was typical of the best manhood of the day, laid down the burden of life, his loss being mourned as that of a leader among the people among whom he had cast his lot.
Matthew Taylor, son of Henry and father of the late William H. H. Taylor, was born in South Strabane Town- ship and it has been claimed for him that he was the first white child born west of the mountains, in Washington County. He became in time the owner of the parental homestead, on which he followed farming for the rest of his life. He also did considerable traveling through the county, which, on account of lack of easy convey- ances and good roads, called for a large amount of exertion. Matthew Taylor married Nancy Hutchinson, a woman of firm will and strong character, in every way qualified to be the wife of a pioneer settler. She pos- sessed a large share of thrift with her other admirable characteristics. Her vigor of body seems to have been equal to that of her mind and character, she attaining the venerable age of ninety-two years. To her children she left, as their best heritage, the imprint of her strong personality. To Matthew and Nancy Taylor were born eleven children, namely: Matthew, James, Thomas, George, William H. H., Polly, Sarah Jane, Eliza, Henry, Nancy and Rachel. Of these, the first five mentioned, died in Washington County. Polly became the wife of John McFarland. Sarah J. married Oliver Lindsay.
Eliza became Mrs. Van Eman. Henry was killed by a falling chimney at a fire in Washington. Nancy became the wife of Hugh Reynolds and Rachel married Work- man Hughes.
William Henry Harrison Taylor, son of Matthew and Nancy Taylor, was born in 1830 and when old enough started to school, his mother looking carefully after the education of her offspring, always helping and encourag- ing them. He later attended Washington and Jefferson College for several years, after which he became in- terested in farming and continued his agricultural pur- suits exclusive of all other business interests until 1866, when he moved to Washington. This change was made in order to give his children better educational advan- tages, but it also was an openingg for him to go into a mercantile business. He formed a partnership with Robert Charlton in the general fresh and salt meat busi- ness, which included pork packing and stock buying. After the death of Mr. Charlton, Mr. Taylor carried on the business alone until his own decease, which took place February 9, 1884, from diabetes, from which he had suffered for some years, he being then in his fifty- fifth year. His remains were interred in the Washing- ton Cemetery.
Mr. Taylor was married in 1850 to Miss Jane E. Jones, a daughter of Charles E. Jones, a well-known building contractor at Washington. Mr. Jones was born in England in 1799, where he learned the carpenter's trade, and where he married Sarah Judson. They came to America in 1827, settling in Washington, Pa., where Mr. Jones followed his trade and engaged also success- fully in contracting. He and his wife had the following children, two of whom died in infancy: Mary, Sarah, Jane E., William, Susan, Sylvester F., James J. and George O. The last mentioned was formerly a mem- ber of the Washington County bar. The mother of Mrs. Taylor died in 1871, at the age of seventy-one years. Mr. Jones survived until January 11, 1885.
. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor were the parents of six children, of whom a brief record is as follows: Edward M., pastor of the Tremont Methodist Episcopal Church at Boston, . Mass., was graduated in 1872 from Washington and Jefferson College, and afterward with first honors, at the Boston School of Divinity. He was on the circuit for a time before locating in Massachusetts. He mar- ried Miss Mary Bradford, a descendant of Gov. Brad- ford of the Plymouth Colony, who was one of the original passengers on the Mayflower. James Franklin, the sec- ond son, is now associate judge of the Twenty-seventh Judicial District of Ohio. Emma and Alice are both deceased, the latter dying when a little maid of eleven years. The older sister was the wife of John A. Hall, also deceased, who was postmaster and prominent citizen of Washington. William Nelson, the third son, is the

senior member of the firm of Taylor & Speer, who are engaged in the iron commission business at Pittsburg. He married a daughter of Stephen Crump. Susan Jane, the youngest daughter, is the wife of Dr. J. C. Mau- rer. The mother of the above children still survives and is in the full enjoyment of all her faculties. She con- tinues to occupy the old family residence at No. 59 West Wheeling street, Washington.
Mr. Taylor was a Republican in politics, but at no time was a seeker for office. However, he always took a strong interest in public affairs, and during the period of the Civil War, was very outspoken in favor of pre- serving the Union at all hazards. His religious affilia- tions were with the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which he was a faithful and consistent member. He was prominently concerned in building the First M. E. Church at Washington, of which he was a trustee. He was also much interested in the cause of education and made it one of his principal objects to give his children the best educational advantages possible. His sons were all sent to college while his daughters received an ex- cellent educational training in seminaries. At various times he held the office of school trustee. He was in all things honest and straight-forward, a hater of shams and deceit of every kind, and could never tolerate a lie. He was beloved by his family and a large circle of friends and they knew and appreciated the worth of his character.
ANTHONY KANE, a well known general merchant of Finleyville, Pa., who has been a resident of Washing- ton County for the past thirty years was born Septem- ber 19, 1858, in Ireland, and is a son of Owen and Mary (McAdams) Kane.
Anthony Kane is one of seven children born to his parents, both of whom died in England, namely: John; Robert; Ann, who is the wife of James Donnely ; Ellen, who is the wife of James Barry; Anthony; and Charles.
Anthony Kane was very young when the family re- moved to England, where he was reared. In 1880 he came to the United States and located in Washington County, Pa., where he worked some years in the coal mines. In 1892 he formed a partnership with William Kennedy, now deceased, with whom he operated a general store under the firm name of Kennedy & Kane until 1894, when he came to Finleyville and opened a small store which he conducted until July, 1903, when he re- moved to his present location, where he carries a full line of groceries, china, lamps, etc.
Mr. Kane is a Democrat in politics, and is fraternally a member of the A. O. H. of Monongahela City. Mr. Kane was married in April, 1880, to Margaret Burke, who was born in England and is a daughter of Barthol- omew and Mary (Madden) Burke, both of whom died
in England. In 1902 Mr. and Mrs. Kane spent four months visiting friends and relatives in England.
