William Robert Taylor

William Robert Taylor (July 10, 1820ndash March 17, 1909) was an American politician and the 12th governor of Wisconsin from 1874 to 1876.

Taylor was born in Connecticut. He was orphaned at age 6 when his father's ship was lost at sea; his mother had died when he was an infant. He then lived with his guardians in Jefferson County, New York. In 1848 he moved to a farm in Cottage Grove, Wisconsin. He had served as president of the Dane County Agricultural Society and the State Agricultural Society. He served in both the Wisconsin State Senate and Wisconsin State Assembly and served one term as Wisconsin's governor.

Taylor died in a nursing home in Burke, Wisconsin, at age 88.
