The Express and Telegraph Wednesday 19 April 1893 page 2 : "lt is with regret we announce the death of Mrs. Thomas Taylor, a colonist of 55 years, who arrived in South Australia by the Pestonjee Bomanjee with Governor Gawler on October 12,1838. The deceased lady, in company with her husband, the late Mr. Thomas Taylor, landed at Glenelg and for some time lived under canvas — as many other early settlers were compelled to do--until Mr. Taylor was enabled to build a home on the Sturt. Subsequently they re moved to Morphettville, Mr. Taylor then owning stations at Avenue Range in the south east, Tatiara, and also one on the River Murray. Mr. Taylor was extensively known as a shrewd capable business man, and was much respected by all with whom he came in contact. At his death Mrs. Taylor went to live with her daughter, Mrs. Samuel White, at the Reedbeds, where she died on April 18."
