FOREWORD N accordance with the expressed wish of the company at the Taylor Re-union, which was held at Rushford August I 25, 1921, this Supplement to the Taylor Genealogy has been prepared. We have endeavored to obtain and record all the data concerning the descendants of our ancestor John Taylor1, which were not recorded in the original book, or which may have transpired since that book was published. We have attempted to follow the same general plan in recording the various branches, treating individuals in the order of their birth and completing the record of their descendants before taking up the next younger. The Roman numerals at the beginning of a paragraph indicate the generation to which the person belongs in direct line from John 1, likewise a small numeral following a name indicates the generation of that individual.

  • ANNUAL REPORT 2018 a Message from Our Board Chair & Executive Director: Turning a New Leaf
    PROTECTING THE NORTH COUNTRY WE LOVE ANNUAL REPORT 2018 A message from our Board Chair & Executive Director: Turning a New Leaf Thanks to the support of our members, 2018 was another successful year in land protection, stewardship, and environmental education. Your support was particularly important as we transitioned through the first change in leadership in over 30 years with the retirement of Tom Bailey last August. We are happy to report that we are stronger than ever. And we need to be. The work we do is complex, and carries liability unique among non-profits. Protecting the North Country we all love also requires the resources to pursue opportunities. If we are going to advance our programs even more in the coming years, your annual support is more critical now than ever. This was a year of partnerships both old and new. We continued our work with the Natural Resources Trust Fund, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Resort Township, Clark Township, and other government agencies. We developed new partnerships with the Ruffed Grouse Society, the American Bird Conservancy, the Mackinaw City Schools, and many others. We partnered with new friends such as the Tip of the Mitt Quality Deer Management Association, the North Country Sportsmen’s Club, and Brave Hearts Estate to facilitate the Independence Hunt for disabled veterans. These partnerships provide synergy and give us hope that we will be even more successful in the future. This year we paused to make plans to expand our land conservation efforts over the next 5 years. Beginning with an intensive strategic planning process, we took stock of where we are, while setting high goals for where we want to go.

On the 30th day of March, 1867, we had printed and dis- tributed the following circular letter : " We design compiling a record of the names, births, mar- riages and deaths of all the Kirks, and their descendants, from the time of the settlement in this country of our common ancestor—Roger Kirk— to a period that will include those of the latest generation. " You will, therefore, confer a favor by sending us all the information in your possession relative to the dates of births, deaths and marriages of your ancestors and your descendants. "Any old document of interest relating to the Kirks, if sent to the undersigned, will be scrupulously preserved and returned to the possessor. " Considerable time and much labor will be recpuired to accomplish this work, hence it is desirable that those who may be disposed to assist, should furnish us all information in their possession at as early a day as possible.
