Silas Taylor and his wife, Alice (Allis) Pixley had the following nine children all in Richmond, Berkshire, Massachussett: Edwin Taylor 29 Apr 1800 Norman Pixley Taylor 02 Jul 1802 Jerusha Taylor 18 Aug 1804 Pamela (Pamelia)Taylor 13 Nov 1806 Charles 31 Mar 1809 Sylvester 22 Sep 1811 Joel Taylor 05 Mar 1814 John Taylor 20 Jan 1817 Perlina (Porlina) Taylor 08 Sep 1822
Silas was not the Dr. Silas Taylor who was born in 1887 also nearby. Our Silas Taylor was born 15 May 1776 in Richmond, Berkshire, Massachusetts and died 29 Jun 1845 in New York (I believe it was in Chautauqua County). His wife Alice Pixley was born 17 Apr 1780 also in Richmond, Berkshire, Massachusetts (I believe to Moses and Prudence Pixley, but some believe to Norman Pixley). She died 23 Jan 1840 in Sheridan, Chautauquay, New York.
We have a small group of descendents of Silas Taylor that are banding together to pool our resources and see if we can finally find out if his father was Edwin, Ephraim or Charles of Berkshire Co. Mass. Anyone care to join our group? We will be sharing our records and those who can will be chipping in to hire a researcher in Berkshire to search where we haven't. One of our group is going to compile all the record we send him to give to the hired gun (and to us).
Hopefully, you can read the census records and some other sources I have gotten around to entering on my file at Ancestors of Joyce Rahn (WIP). I am updating my file tonight, so it may take a little bit to complete as I have nearly 20,000 names in my file.

I always forget about checking these Surname clubs, so it will work a lot better if you contact me direct.
