Died, in this town, on Friday morning the 30st ult, Captain SAMUEL TAYLOR, a veteran of the Revolution, aged 85 years and 6 months. His death was occasioned by injuries received by falling from a horse cart on the 10th of April. Cat. T. was married at the age 28 to Miss Lucretia Taylor, who still survives him. The following “obituary” we copy from the Patriot, after premising that he was also engaged in the battle of Monmouth:

“The life of the deceased patriot has been spent in useful activity and enterprise; and a considerable portion of it was devoted to the service of his country. At the early age of 17 years he was enrolled in a volunteer corps at Yarmouth, and marched under Lieutenant Brimhorn to Boston, very soon after the first armed resistance was offered to British outrage by the Colonists. Capt, Taylor was one of the many sons of Cape Cod who were fired with patriotism as the news reached them of the encounter of the Provisionals with the British troops at Lexington and Concord, and who determined with stout hearts and willing hands to devote themselves to the cause of Liberty. Soon after his arrival in Boston, the battle of Bunker Hill took place in which he fought, and was near General WARREN when he fell. He subsequently enlisted into Colonel Shepherd’s Regiment for four years and a half — at what period we are not informed — but he remained in the Continental army until the close of the war, and fought in several of its most important battles. He was in General Glover’s Division in Washington’s retreat through New Jersey; as was one of that brave band who fought and took the Hessian troops. He was one of that forlorn Hope, who crossed and re-crossed the Delaware with its immortal leader, and achieved a victory that gave new life to the almost expiring hopes of the Colonists. During the succeeding winter he was quartered at Valley Forge and suffered in common with his fellow soldiers, the severities of the season and the extreme destitution of the army. For half the winter he was without shoes or a coat. He was also at the defeat of Burguoyne, and at the taking of Yorktown. In the latter conflict he was in Gen. LaFayette’s detachment, and fought bravely in the entrenchment of that Fort, which LaFayette was the first to enter. After the victory at Yorktown he returned, destitute of money, to Yarmouth, his native town, and entered upon a seafaring business for a subsistence, and rose from an uneducated sailor to the command of a ship. During his seafaring life he made twenty-eight voyages to the Mediterranean — two to Russia — four to England, and one to Africa. The deceased sustained through his life an exemplary character; always kind-hearted and benevolent; and was respected and beloved as an excellent citizen, friend, neighbor and Christian.– He leaves a widow and three children to lament the exit of so good a man

Capt. Taylor, as of yore, was an ardent Whig, and rarely missed going to the polls on the day of election, and depositing his vote for the cause of what he deemed correct principles. He frequently walked the whole distance from his residence to the Town House, something more than two miles. He was at Boston on the 10th of September last, and rode in the procession in company with several of his fellow patriots. The Funeral of the departed hero took place on Monday the 3rd inst. and was attended by a large number of those who had known and respected him when living. Rev. Mr. Cogswell made a prayer on the occasion; and Rev. Mr. Hastings preached an appropriate discourse from Job 14th ch.

Rest, Soldier, rest! thy perils o’er,

In earthe we make thy bed;
And tho’ we may thy loss deplore,
Unto that better, brighter shore
We think thy spirit fled.

Rest, Sailor, rest! on the deep wave
Again thou shalt not ride;
We give thy body to the grave–
Thy spirit to the God who gave
thee strength to stem life’s tide.

Rest, Christian, rest! to thee tis given
To know thy joy of those,
Who, having all their sins forgiven,
Cast anchor in the port of Heaven,
Like thee, at long life’s close.
