band's death, another child was born, upon whom she bestowed her
own name.
She struggled bravely to keep a roof over herself and
babes, but often was obliged to leave the little ones in the
care of her relatives while she worked; for in those early
pioneer days there was little a woman could do for remuneration,
and remain, meanwhile, in the shelter of her own home.
Finally, she gave up the futile attempt, and in
December, 1816, married again. Her husband was Peter
Robinson, a widower with seven children, most of them
well-grown up, but as yet unmarried and living at home with
their father.
To this Gilbert-Robinson household was added
within the next 12 years, seven more children, only one of whom
lived beyond infancy, and that one, a dear little boy named
Augustus, much beloved by his half-sisters, Louise
and Irene Gilbert, died when he was three years old.
The sorrow of a mother seven times bereaved cannot be
imagined save by one who has undergone a measure, at least, of
such an experience.
Mr. Robinson died, and after another interval of
loneliness and physical effort, in 1832, she again married,
Ephraim Hubbell who had six children all of age and living
in their own homes. Mr. Hubbell lived but a year or
two afterward, and, within four years of her third marriage,
Irene passed away from this checkered life, at the age of
56. ----- 1807 BUNNELL OR BONNELL [Page 101]

TAYLOR
Philo Taylor came from New England to Rocky River
about 1808, and bought or built a log-tavern on the eastern bank
near the mouth of the stream. Here, in 1809, his eighth
child was born, Egbert Taylor, said to have been
the first one born in the township. The exact year that
Mr. Taylor sold out and removed to town has not been
recorded by his descendants. But we find him in August,
1816, helping to organize the Commercial Bank of Lake Erie, the
pioneer bank of the city. He was a Cleveland merchant at
that time, having a store for general merchandise on the north
side of Superior, below Bank Street. He is said to have
been landlord of a tavern, also, in the same spot.
In 1823, his wife, Zerviah Davenport
Taylor, whom he married in 1793, and who was the mother of
his eleven children, died, and was buried in Erie Street
Cemetery. Shortly afterward, Mr. Taylor
removed to Newburgh, but continued to be identified with the
business interests of this place. Three years after the
death of his wife, Zerviah, he married Miss
Rhoda Baldwin of Newburgh. Philo
Taylor died in 1854,
aged 81 years.
The children of Philo and Zerviah Davenport Taylor
filled valuable and important positions in the commercial and
social life of Cleveland and Newburgh. Nothing personal
has been preserved of their mother, but judging by her
daughters, who were noted for their many lovely characteristics,
she must have been a most estimable woman.
The children were:
