STORY from familysearch.org. Accessed May 23, 2019:
Story of Samuel Nailor aka Nailer/Naylor
Samuel NAILER was born 5 July 1796 in York County Pennsylvania. He was Christened 5 August 1796 at York County, Pennsylvania; died 1861 in Guilford Township and buried at Acme Cemetery, Guilford, Medina County, Ohio. Samuel moved to Cumberland County and lived there, married and had the first 4 children.
Samuel grew up on a farm and for several years of his youth spent much of his time in hauling whiskey from his father’s and other distilleries to Baltimore where the principal market was for their product. It took six horses to haul a load of thirty barrels of whiskey over the mountain highways.
He married 14 March 1820, Elizabeth UHLER, a native of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania recorded in 1st Evangelical Lutheran Church at Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania (possible daughter of one Detrick UHLER also living in Cumberland County and on the census with George Nailer Jr.) They lived for a time on a small farm there, renting the farm until the fall of 1829 they set out in a covered two- horsed wagon for Ohio. It took them two weeks to make the journey. Samuel had previously bought land in Guilford Township of Medina County. This land was part of an immense tract of area ...

The entire story was not available onlline on the 23rd. So, I got the following on the 24th. The first part is about Samuel Jr.
Samuel Naylor 1823-1909 • LHHS-3XW​​ was tagged in a story
Samuel Naylor of Lorain County Ohio
He became one of the biggest land owners in Penfield, was of old Pennsylvania Stock and was born in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 27 February 1823 and was 85 years of age when called home to rest. His grandfather, Jacob Nailor was a farmer and distiller of whiskey when that was a principal industry in Pennsylvania.

Samuel's father Samuel Naylor Sr was born in York, Pennsylvania and grew up on a farm. For several years he spent much of his time hauling whiskey from his father's and other distilleries to Baltimore. It took 6 horses to haul one load of 50 barrels over the mountainous roadways. He was married in Cumberland County to Elizabeth Uhler, a native of that county and of German descent. After they were married they rented land for a while. They had 4 children while in Cumberland, Pennsylvania; Mary, Samuel, Benjamin K, Jacob and Rebecca and then had a daughter Eliza, at Lancaster County, PA before they went west.
In Medina County, Ohio they had four more children: John, William, Sarah and Henry. The mother of these children died on a farm in Medina County, and Samuel removed to Seville, buying a small farm in the village. He married second Harriet Sheldon, by whom there was one child, Harriet. He died at age 73, was a whig and abolitionist. He had traveled in the South and was convinced that the practice of slavery would never be decided except by war.
Samuel Naylor Jr was about six years old when the family moved to Guilford, Medina County, Ohio. He helped clear his father's land and besides working at home, he hired out to others and became a skillful shingle maker.
In 1845 he was married to Barbara Long, born September 1824 in Toronto, Canada, a daughter of John Long who settled in Medina County. After his marriage they lived in Litchfield and then moved to Penfield in Lorain County, OH where he bought 1007 acres of wild land for 6 dollars an acre. He had to cut through the woods to get to it. He had it paid for in a few years and converted it into a fertile farm.
Samuel by his first wife had the following children:Jacob, Henry, Elizabeth, Rebecca and Harriet A, Laney E, Emma, Mary, Harvey G and Dora. The mother died in January 1874. He then married Nancy E Yocum, who died in 1882 without having children.
By 1894 he married Sarah Elizabeth Arbaugh and had two sons Charle William and Samuel Hobart Naylor. She survived and resided at Wellington. Samuel acquired a large estate of 400 acres and erected a fine country home there. He was a successful business man but a leader in educational matters and donated some land for the building of a district school. He was active in the United Brethren church.
