Scott,
You may by now have gotten answers to this query but I will tell you what I know. I have done a good deal of research on many families in Oneco, Stephenson County. Among them are the Hinds of Vermont, early settlers there and married to various connecting families I'm researching. One of the marriages is Lewis W. Taft to Margaret Jane Hinds. A few years ago we visited the Mount Pleasant Cemetery in Winslow, Stephenson County, (very near Oneco) and took pictures of many of the graves. We didn't know anything about the Tafts but photographed those graves also, although I don't believe we got all of them. I will post here what we found--and wish you success in your search, as I can find little or nothing at the LDS site or on WorldConnect.

Joseph A. Taft b. Feb. 13, 1837; d. Jan 11, 1910
Amanda His Wife b. Jan. 1, 1848 d. Feb. 11, 1900
"Thy memory will be cherished."
Father Mother

Henry C. Taft 1848-1905
Laura A. His Wife 1852-1939

Hope this helps you or someone else. I do have photos and could make copies for you if you're interested.
