I think this excerpt from the history of New Ipswich (by Prof Chandler and his associates) applies to Taylor Rd. "he "Fox farm," XII : 3, S. R., uniting with a road, accepted
in 1759, along the eastern side of XII : 2, S. R., then the
property of Amos Taylor, but afterward for many years
known as the "Bucknam farm." A road from Amos Taylor's
had been accepted at about the same date as the one from
Abba Severance's, running easterly across XI: 1, S. R., and
northerly along the east side of the same lot to a point on
the broad central line of the town before mentioned about
a quarter-mile west from the meeting-house, then in process
of construction. This road was long known as the "malt-
house road," and the cellar of the malt-house still remains
on the east side of its namesake thoroughfare and a quarter-
mile south from the central road. The "malt-house road" is
still easily followed, but only the part lying on the west side
of the road from Davis Village is now open. The three
roads together for a considerable period furnished the favorite
route to the meeting-house for the residents in the south-
western part of the town. Apparently there were two or
more dwellings on this road south of Amos Taylor's, but the
Good question. The Taylors appeared well-to-do and probably could afford to travel. The family name goes back to the late 1700s. Taylor Rd was one of the early roads in town and went by Charles Taylor's house. It's nice road to walk, no traffic, beautiful old homes, and lots of nature.

Still is one of the best to walk
