"Another family of prominence of the period was that of Paul Taber, who had come from the east in 1819, accompanied by his sons, Cyrus and Samuel, and his daughter, Lucy. The elder Taber became active in the affairs of the town, but his efforts were brought to a close by his death in 1826.
Cyrus Taber, the owner of Taber's addition, removed to Logansport at an early year. Samuel Taber removed to Marshall county, Indiana. Lucy Taber became the wife of Thomas L. Swinney.
Paul Taber had entered a considerable tract of ground west of town, which was later purchased by Colonel Thomas W. Swinney. A tract entered by Sameul Taber was purchased by William Rockhill. Lucy Taber's ownership included the present Swinney park."
