His obituary in the the Pastoral Review, 16 June 1919, pp 513-14. reads as:
Taylor, John (1846–1919)
The news of the death of Mr. John Taylor, of Winton, Tasmania, will be received with very genuine regret by sheepmen throughout the Commonwealth and South Africa. More especially will the loss be felt in Tasmania, where the late Mr. Taylor had impressed his lovable and sterling personality upon a very wide circle.
The Winton flock of stud Merino sheep was a tribute to the genius of Mr. Taylor as a breeder. Right up to the last he took a keen personal interest in the stud, and the Winton sheep were widely known for all the very best qualities which characterise the Tasmanian stud Merino. Constitution and quality were the watchwords of the Winton stud master, and anyone who has handled many Winton stud rams will remember the beautiful fleeces—the pure noses, the splendid horns and other features which spell the word quality. Mr. Taylor achieved great success as a breeder, and the public always displayed a great interest in the Winton sheep offered annually at the Sydney and Melbourne sales. It is hardly necessary to remind our readers of the successes of the Winton stud; the names of such rams as Primus and Magician recall a very long list of great sheep bred by Mr. Taylor. Most tempting offers did not induce Mr. Taylor to sell Primus; he was one of the finest sires Tasmania has produced, and Magician deserves to rank with them. He was sold in Sydney in 1899 for 540 guineas. While at Winton he got Magician II., which brought 600 guineas in Sydney three years ago. Another famous Winton ram was Pioneer, which Messrs. McMaster Bros., of Rockgedgiel, N.S.W., bought for 900 guineas. Tertius, another Winton ram, was sold in Sydney in 1902 for 460 guineas, and the same year another Winton ram—Baronet—made 600 guineas in Melbourne, and the year after his son made 400 guineas. Coming to later years, there were Magician II., 600 guineas, at Sydney, 1904; Alliance, 390 guineas, at Sydney, 1905; and Aladdin, 510 guineas, the same year at Melbourne. Mr. John Taylor sold Magician V. to Mr. F. Southey, of South Africa, and it is probable that no other stud ram imported into that country has created such a splendid record in the way of high-class progeny.
Mr. John Taylor, who was 73 years of age when he died, was the son of the late Mr. David Taylor, of St. Johnstone, Campbell Town, Tasmania. Although by the sales of his stud sheep his interests penetrated all the States of the Commonwealth, he very rarely left his lovely home. Nevertheless he was a deep reader, and kept himself well abreast of events. He was a pillar of strength to the old historical Campbell Town Show in all its vicissitudes, and was a constant exhibitor, winning championship honours on several occasions. One by one the men who built up famous stud flocks are passing away, and their going throws no small responsibility upon those who succeed them.⁴

     Mary Louisa Taylor was born on 17 February 1849 at Campbell Town, Van Diemens Land.
Mary Louisa Taylor married John Taylor I, son of David Taylor I and Nancy Gatenby, on 17 April 1872 at Campbell Town, Tasmania. Son of David Taylor and Anne "Nancy" Gatenby.
Married his 1st-cousin Mary Louisa Taylor. Together they were the parents of John "Jack" Taylor, Mary Taylor, Winifred Taylor, Christian Taylor, and Margaret Stewart Taylor.

George Taylor (1758-1828), farmer, was born at Balvaird, near Abernethy, Scotland, and in March 1791 married Mary Low of the same parish. With their eight children they occupied Balvaird Farm, leased by his family from the earl of Mansfield since the seventeenth century. In 1822 Taylor emigrated to Van Diemen's Land with most of his family, arriving in the Princess Charlotte at Hobart Town in January 1823. He brought with him the usual letter of recommendation from the Colonial Office and capital of £890, and received an 800-acre (324 ha) land grant on the Macquarie River, which he named Valleyfield. Three of his sons, Robert (1791-1861), David (1796-1860) and George (1800-1826) each brought a letter of recommendation and capital of £700, and each was granted 700 acres (283 ha) on the Macquarie south of Valleyfield.
In November 1824 George Taylor senior was a signatory to the address soliciting separation from New South Wales. A staunch Presbyterian, he was chairman of a meeting in January 1826 to consider the establishment of a Presbyterian church in the district; the church was built ten years later. In July 1824 the family successfully defended their home against a gang of seven bushrangers led by James Crawford, and including Matthew Brady and McCabe. The Taylors' defence was so vigorous that the bushrangers were forced to withdraw leaving behind their stores and ammunition. Crawford and another of the gang were captured and later executed in Launceston. Writing to Taylor later in 1824 Lieutenant-Governor Arthur highly commended the family's spirited defence of their home and held it as an example to other settlers. To lessen the inconvenience of the family's isolated situation Taylor paid the passage of fourteen Scottish labourers who were indentured to him; he also imported a large quantity of blacksmith's tools.
Taylor died on 19 April 1828, aged 70. His widow married Henry William Gage, and died in July 1850, aged 85. Robert, the eldest son, inherited the 2100 acres (850 ha) of Valleyfield; in addition to his original grant, he had already acquired some 2500 acres (1012 ha) and several town allotments in Perth and Campbell Town, and was renting another 2000 acres (809 ha). In 1838 he married Margaret, the daughter of George and Margaret Stewart of Stewarton, Macquarie River; they had eight sons and two daughters. The second son, David, sold his grant to Robert and bought Winton from Dr Adam Turnbull. He married Nancy, daughter of Andrew and Hannah Gatenby and in the early 1840s with Robert, bought Kenilworth from the Forlonge family, and half their outstanding Saxon merino flock. This was the origin of the later well-known Taylor stud.
George, the third son, after receiving an extra 500 acres (202 ha) in compensation for losing the use of an arm in the fight with bushrangers, was killed by Aboriginals in November 1826. John (1804-1850), the youngest son who arrived in the Greencock in January 1828, received 500 acres (202 ha) by grant, and bought the near-by property of an Indian settler Rum John Conn, naming his estate St Johnstone.
Three of the four daughters married settlers in the district; the eldest later settled in the Portland district.² His obituary reads as: The Australian Dictionary of Biography, Volume 2 , 1967 [online in 2010] Taylor, George (1758–1828)

From the Launceston Examiner of Tuesday 10 Dec 1895, p5:
"DEATH OF AN OLD COLONIST.-On Thursday last there passed away to her rest another of the early pioneers of the colony, Mrs Christian Buist, of Pituncarty, at the ripe age ef 97. The end was not altogether unexpected by her relatives and friends, as she had been very feeble for some time and during the preceding week was confined to her bed. She passed quietly away without any apparent suffering. Notwithstanding her great age she retained in a surprising degree nearly to the last her mental vigour and her warm interest in the concerns of her friends and the movements of her surroundings and time. Mrs Buist was a colonist ot fully 72 years' standing, having left Scotland with her father, the late George Taylor, in 1822, arriving in Tasmania in January, 1823. when she settled at Pituncarty, on the Macquarie river, where she spent the remainder of her long and useful life. So at last has passed away, after a long pilgrimage, one whose charaster-strong, tender, and true-was a felt influence in the district, and made a very definite Christian impresion on all with whom she came into contact. Mrs Buist was a member and a warm friend of the Presbyterian Church at Kirklands, and deeply interested in the large movements of the Christian world beyond. Her Christian character and marked individualty are well and truly summed up in the words of a friend, who knew her long and intimately, and who writes :-' Kirklands will be a changed place to me now that she is gone. She was to me a very interesting and picturesque personality-a fine specimen of a Scotch woman of the old school - the last representative known to me of a type that is all but extinct. What force of dcharacter she had, and how much genuine warmth and tenderness there was beneath her reserved exterior. I particularly admired her sterling rugged truthfulness, honesty, and sincerity, and her stern resolute disapprobation of what she believed to he wrong. She was simply incapable of speaking or acting otherwise than she thought and felt, nor would she wink at anything that her conscience condemned. She had a deep reverence for divine things, and her piety was humble, unpretending and sincere." The funeral took place on Saturday, when a large number of relatives and friends accompanied the remains to the Kirklands Cemetery. The Rev. R. M. Fergus conducted special services at Kirklands and Epping on Sunday, preaching from the text, "O death, where is thy sting, O grave, where is thy victory ?" Mrs Buist is survived by her only remaing daughter, Mrs William Bayles, of Toorak, Victoria."

"ANOTHER MURDER.
Since writing the above, and just as our paper was going to press, we were informed by a Gentleman, in whose statement we can place the utmost veracity, that another cruel and barbarous murder has been perpetrated by the Natives. The unfortunate victim is Mr. George Taylor, (son of Mr. Robert Tay lor), who, it will be recollected, was wounded in an attack made, by some bushrangers upon his father's house, but who were beaten off, and two either killed or wounded. Mr. Taylor, thus unfortunately cut off in the prime of life, it appears, was speared and beaten with waddies about the head, in a most shocking manner. We shall perhaps be enabled to give further particulars in our next.
We regret also to have to state, that the poor old shepherd, belonging to Mr. Gilles, alluded to in the foregoing article, has since died of his wounds.³

     John Taylor was born on 24 August 1804 at Balvaird Estate, Micklebeen, Fifeshire, Scotland. He arrived in January 1828. He did not come out at the time with his parents (George and Mary) and family as he was studying Law at that time. He followed after completing his studies and arrived in the "Greencock". He lived at St Johnstone farm, Campbell Town, Tasmania; On his arrival he was granted 500 acres (202 ha) and then bought the near-by property of an Indian settler Rum John Conn, naming his estate "St Johnstone".
John Taylor married Jane Elizabeth Tod on 27 January 1841 at Greenhill, Campbell Town, Tasmania.
From The Courier (Hobart), Fri 29 Jan 1841, p2:
MARRIED—At Greenhill, Macquarie River, on Wednesday, the 27th instant, by the Reverend John Mackersey, Kirklands, John Taylor, Esq., of St. Johnstone, to Jane Elizabeth, fourth daughter of the late Robert Tod, Esq., Merchant, Glasgow.
John Taylor died on 9 September 1850 at North Adelaide, South Australia, at age 46.
Recorded in the Adelaide Times, Thu 12 Sep 1850, p2:
DIED
On Monday, the 9th instant, at the residence of his brother-in-law, North Adelaide, John Taylor, Esq., of St. Johnstone, Van Diemens Land, after a short illness.

He apparently died without issue.
