John Taylor (February 16, 1808 – December 3, 1886) was an American judge and politician.
John Taylor was born on February 16, 1808, and raised by his parents David Taylor and Martha McNeil in Rockingham County, New Hampshire. Aged 17, Taylor moved to New York, living in Essex County for two years, as well as Greene County and later Albany County. By 1834, Taylor had settled in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, where he remained until 1836. Taylor subsequently lived in Milwaukee for one year, before moving to Louisiana. He traveled north to Iowa in 1838, and lived in Dubuque. In 1841, Taylor acquired land near Cascade.[1]
