From Wikipedia on Taylor:

Moses Taylor (January 11, 1806 – May 23, 1882) was a 19th-century New York merchant and banker and one of the wealthiest men of that century. At his death, his estate was reported to be worth $70 million, or about $1.8 billion in today\'s dollars. He controlled the National City Bank of New York (later to become Citibank), the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western railroad, the Moses Taylor & Co. import business, and he held numerous other investments in railroads and industry.

Moses left his fortune to his wife and children: his son Henry Augustus Coit Taylor, his daughter Albertina Shelton Taylor Pyne, his daughter Katherine Wilson Taylor Winthrop, his daughter Mary Taylor Lewis, and his son George Campbell Taylor. Several prominent wealthy families owe a substantial portion of their fortunes to those inheritances.

Percy Rivington Pyne (1820–1895), an assistant to Moses, had married Moses\' daughter Albertina in 1855 and became president of City Bank upon his father-in-law\'s death. The Pynes established a dynasty of bankers that survives to this day. Percy\'s son Moses Taylor Pyne was a benefactor of Princeton University who supported its development from a college into a university and left an estate worth $100 million at his death in 1921.

The Winthrop family descendants of John Winthrop inherited the wealth of Moses\'s daughter Katherine Wilson Taylor (1839–1925) who married Robert Winthrop (1833–1892). Katherine\'s daughter married Hamilton Fish Kean (1862–1941), ancestor of the political Kean family which includes the former governor of New Jersey Thomas Kean.

Moses\' son Henry A. C. Taylor left an estate worth $50 million upon his death in 1921, just a few months before the death of his nephew Moses Taylor Pyne.

The Taylor family descendants of Moses\'s son Henry Augustus Coit Taylor were prominent New York and Newport socialites.
