     Benjamin Maxwell Taylor was born on 24 March 1902 at North Bergen, Hudson County, NJ, (Acc. to Find-A-Grave, he was b. 28 Mar 1903 in Union City, NJ.)^1,2,3 He (1) married Marion Louise Shunk on 10 December 1921 at New York City (St. James ME Church) (Alternate place: Union City, NJ.)^4,5 Benjamin Maxwell Taylor (2) married Irene Elizabeth Peters, daughter of John Henry Peters and Catherine Little, on 9 April 1935 at Weehawken, Hudson County, NJ, (Alternate date March 1935.)^5,6 Benjamin Maxwell Taylor died on 7 July 1985 at Ormond Beach, FL.¹ He was cremated.

     When Arthur died in 1931, Irene was left with four children and a mortgage on a house in Ridgefield Park NJ. The depression came and Irene could not keep up with raising her four children and working. She was forced to put the children into an orphanage, and she lived with her sister Catherine Peters Durham. She worked to get enough money to get the children out of the orphanage. The house she owed a mortgage on was insured by Prudential Insurance Co. Ben Taylor was an agent for Prudential Insurance Co and helped Irene get enough money together to open a candy store in Fairview, NJ, so she could be independent and not rely on a salary. Together they worked hard to make the store succeed. Ben was at the time married to a woman named Marion Shunk. They had one child named Marilyn. Ben divorced her about 1934 and in 1935 he married Irene and one by one took the children out of the orphanage, the oldest one first. The youngest one lived with Catherine Durham for a year.¹
     Benjamin adopted Irene's four children Leroy and Raymond after they married.^5,2
     Marion Shunk was 17 when she married Benjamine. On the license it stated her as 17 and Benjamine as 21. My guess is that Marion's family approved of the marriage and Ben's family did not. Both were minors because Ben was really 17 and not 21. He lied about his age because his parents would not sign the release for him to get married. Also Ben lived in NJ and he claimed a NY address. Or it could be that the person writing the contract assumed he was 21.⁵
