Samuel Taylor was born in 1681, the son of Samuel Taylor of Moston and the grandson of Samuel Taylor of Marsleech and Moston, both prominent Presbyterians. He built a house in Moston Bottoms and certainly had more than one mill in his possession on the small water-courses in Moston.  One mill was used for the purpose of grinding logwood for dyeing.  One or more others were were certainly used for the linen-thread making.  He died in 1766 and was buried in Manchester Collegiate Churchyard, leaving a widow, nee Sarah Gill, and four sons and one daughter.  His grandson, Samuel the fifth, turned the threadmaking business into one for making cotton fabrics and thereby made a considerable fortune.  A grand-daughter Mary married William Marriott of Manchester, probably one of the family with whom he had been associated in the linen-thread making.

Gillibrand Family of Stockport

Another avenue for additional research is the Gillibrand family of Stockport.  Correspondence with a member of the Kay Family Association suggested that "Mrs Gillibrand senior was first cousin to Elizabeth Taylor" (wife of Robert Kay of Balderstone, and  sister of Samuel Taylor of Moston).  There are a few of mentions of the Gillibrand family in the RK diary:-

• p8 1737 - "Death of our Relation the Revd. Thomas Gillburnt who preached at F(T?)oxteth Park, but died at his Mother's House in Stockport".  
• p27 1739 - "After dinner went thorough Chapple of Frith to Stockport, and lodge there.  We supp'd at Cousin Gillibrand's"
• p33 1740 - "went to Stockport.... I drank Tea at Coz. Gillibrand's"
• p68 1743 - "Coz. Ebenezer Gillibrand and his Brother in Law Mr. Saml. Bennison from Stockport"
