  4.   A report attributed to Bob Bosch who formerly lived in Allendale, states that John Abram Taylor and Jane Ann Waters had a daughter Harriet Amelia Taylor in the late 1850s. This report has not been confirmed by any available public records. In the 1860 census Jane A and Harriet A Taylor are recorded living with Alvah Taylor (born in Massachusetts) at Crockery, Ottawa, Michigan. It seems virtually certain that Harriet A Taylor was the daughter of Alvah and Jane Taylor. No further records regarding Alvah Taylor have been found.

    In the 1870 census a Harriet Taylor was recorded living with the Purdy family, suggesting she may have been orphaned, though it is possible that her mother Jane gave her out for adoption before re-marrying. However as there were several different Harriet Taylor's in Michigan at the time this cannot be certain.

    In 1862 Jane Ann Waters married Willis Ford. In 1870 the family was recorded living in Grand Rapids (Kent County) and in 1880 Jane and her children were recorded in Plymouth (Wayne County). No further record of Jane (Waters) Ford has been found, however the death records of four of her children indicate that the family remained in Southeastern Michigan.

    These facts do not appear consistent with the reported relationship between John Abram Taylor and Jane Ann Waters, however it is possible that John A Taylor (born in Michigan) was recorded in the 1860 census as Alvah Taylor (born in Massachusetts). This would not be the first instance of erroneous or misleading census data being recorded.
