"I regret very much that your Uncle [Sardis Birchard] did not go with Mr. Taylor and his sister."
Sophia Birchard Hayes to RBH, Oct. 16, 1840
"Cynthia Taylor and Charlotte Birchard have just arrived...You did not tell us that Cynthia was coming. I hope Austin [Taylor] will be glad to see her and get her an opportunity to visit Pardon [Taylor]. She says she shall feel quite at home with his family"
Sophia Birchard Hayes to Sardis Birchard, Aug. 13, 1845.
"Cynthia Taylor is teaching school in Dummerston"
Sophia Birchard Hayes to Sardis Birchard, Nov. 18, 1850
"I hope Cynthia Taylor is contented and happy- her lot in the world has been a desolate and unprotected one, the Father of the Fatherless will be her friend"
Sophia Birchard Hayes to Sardis Birchard, April 8, 1846, Columbus, OH
"Cynthia Taylor was at her Father Jones'; her health not as good as usual"
Sophia Birchard Hayes to Sardis Birchard, March 30, 1855
"I received your letter along with one from Brother Roger [Birchard] saying that he met brother Austin [Birchard] at Cynthia Taylor's funeral. He thought Mr. [Reuben] Jones family were real mourners; they always loved her. What a blessing that her sorrows are ended; she is gone before us, we must all follow, no matter how soon..."
