MORE ABOUT RUTH TAYLOR, HER ANCESTORS AND DESCENDANTS.

NoTE.- In our fate sketch of this mother, we made some misstatements, to which we had been led by errors that had slipped into history. Through the kindness of Hon. Henry W. Taylor, of Canandaigua, New-York, we are able to make these corrections. Ruth's maiden name, instead of being spelled Wyllis (as it is given in Sprague's "Annals"), is Wylbis, the spelling having been changed after the family came to America. This correction might be of little account, were it not for the important aid it gives in tracing a family whose sons have been distinguished, and whose daughters have been "comer-stones." The other mistake is more significant in its relation to fact. Rev. Edward Taylor, instead of having eigbt daughters in his first marriage, had three sons and 44 45 only five daughters. His two eldest children were lor, who is the nearest living descendant of Rev. Samuel and James, who lived to manhood; the young­ Edward and Ruth Taylor.

8o CC"S RIEIFERE CE t y Two Gaelic soldiers and their contribution to Canada

By Bruce W. Taylor Mr. Taylor, the author of this lively account, was born on 11June1937 in Kirkland L ake, Ontario. H e writes that he received his primary and secondary education in New Lislieard, and is a graduate of the Provincial Institute of Mining in Haileybury, Ontario. H e holds a B.Sc. in Geological Engineering from the Michigan Technological University, and is currently mine manager at Steep Rock Iron Mines Ltd., A tikokan.

It is only in the past two years that I have seriously become interested in genealogical research on my family, although for a number of years I have been a serious student of Canadian prehistory. In any case, having made some initial inquiries into Taylor history, mostly to satisfy a curiosity whetted by reading an existing fa mily history, I find myself now very deeply involved in resear ching my own family, and I seem to have acquired an insatiable curiosity which grows with every new piece of information I t,m­ cover. It is certainly not family pride which feeds the fires of my curiosity, since every family- and mine is no exception-has its social rejects. Rather it is an obsession to learn how my ancestors fitted into the general scope of history, and by understanding the past, perhaps gaining an insight on my

In Scotland, the name is associated with the Clan Cameron. The story of the "Black Taylor of the Axe" is told in any good history of the clans' and it is not my intention to go into it here. The Taylors are widespread throughout Scotland and have played their part in its history. 2

THE TAYLORS James George Taylor was born 6 August 1814 in the parish of Latheron in the County of Caithness. Prior to James, little is known about the family, except that his father, who had been a soldier in the Napoleonic wars, was named George, and that his Mother's name was Anne Sinclair. The Sin­ clairs were the most prominent family in that part of Scotland. One so­ called history of the family states that Anne Sinclair was the only child of Sir George Sinclair, Baronet of Dunbeath, a cadet branch of the Earl of Caithness. Inquiries to the office of the Lord Lyon of Scotland have not substantiated this, and as it enters the realms of conjecture, the story must be discounted. James Taylor ran away from home at the age of 14 and tried to enlist in the army. He was found out, and sent back. However, on 4 February 1833, at the age of 18 he enlisted in the 93rd Highlanders, the famous Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. His attestation record reveals that he was a strap­ ping lad, 5'11" tall, with dark eyes and dark hair-features no doubt reflect­ ing the influence of the Picts who inhabited that area in ancient times. He was promoted to corporal in 1836, and in 1838 the regiment was sent to Canada as a result of the rebellion in Upper Canada. The main body of the regiment left England on 23 January, 1838, aboard H.M.S. Pique. It arrived at Halifax on 5 March after a very rough crossing, then proceeded to Montreal and Lachine. During the threat of the "Patriot" invasion in November that same year, it was sent to various towns including Coteau du Lac, Cornwall, Kingston, Toronto, Prescott, and Beauharnois. Windmill Point, near Prescott in the County of Grenville is noted for the obstinate four-day defence made there in November 1838 by insurgents from the United States belonging.to a secret society known as the "Hunt­ ers". Their leader, "Colonel" Van Schultz, a native of Poland, hoped to sur­ prise and capture the town of Prescott. However, due to a series of blunders by his officers, he was prevented from invading the town, and landed below Prescott. The Hunter force took up positions near a large six-story wind­ mill, where it was surrounded and attacked by a force of British regulars, the 83rd Regiment, and local militia units. An old family letter3 states that James Taylor took part in the Battle of the Windmill. However, having read every account of the battle avail­ able, l could find no reference to the 93rd Highlanders taking part in it. I had almost concluded the account in the letter was in error, when in answer to an inquiry to the Regimental Headquarters of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders in Scotland, I received a letter which stated that the Grenadier Company of the 93rd under a Major Arthur joined the 83rd in the attack on the windmill. Knowing that James Taylor was a Corporal in the Grena­ dier Company, I was then able to substantiate that he was, in fact, present at the battle. The battle was won by the British, and Van Schultz and several of his men were hanged for their part in the invasion. The name 18 Schultz appears again, and plays a major part in this history, although 1500 miles to the West and 48 years later. The 93rd Highlanders were stationed in Toronto, Drummondville, and Kingston until 1843, in Montreal until July 1846, and in Quebec City until they returned to Scotland in 1848. Corporal Taylor was promoted to ser­ geant in 1839, colour sergeant in 1845, and sergeant-major in 1851. The only information that I have been able to uncover regarding James Taylor's military activities in Canada after the rebellion was obtained from the Dominion Archives in Ottawa, and consists of a petition for reimbur­ sement of expenses to him. It appears that he was in charge of a party es­ corting prisoners from Kingston via the Rideau system to Bytown (Ottawa) when on the night of the 18 October 1844, a violent storm on Rideau Lake swamped their boat. James Taylor was obliged to provision the party out of his own pocket until it arrived in Montreal on 22 October. The record shows that he was granted 10 shillings. James Taylor married an Irish Immigrant, Abigail Carlton Peel, on 30 July 1844, probably in Montreal, as that was where he was stationed at the time. Abigail Peel was born on 23 January 1820, at Hillsborough in County Down, Ireland, the daughter of Thomas Peel and Anne Green Peel. The family were of English origin, having received grants of land in Ireland after the Battle of the Boyne. Abigail Peel's Mother, Anne Green Peel was the daughter of John Green and Anne Wilkins of Hillsborough, who were mar­ ried 1 May 1791. She was born 29 June 1795. James and Abigail Taylor had two children born to them while he was stationed in Canada. Anne Sinclair Taylor was born in Montreal on 7 De­ cember 1845. George Taylor was born at Quebec City on 7 January 1848, shortly before the regiment returned to Scotland. This first George Taylor died as an infant on board ship, and following the Scottish custom, the next son, born at Sterling, Scotland, was also named George. Of this George Taylor we will hear more later. Between 1848 and 1854 when the regiment next went overseas, it was stationed at Anglesey, England, and it was here that a second son, Thomas William, was born on 6 September 1852. In 1854 the regiment left England, and sailed for Turkey and the Crimea where it was to gain fame as the "Thin Red Line" at the battle of Balaklava. James Taylor, however, was not to take part in those battles" in Russia, or in the famous battles that took place in India afterwards. He landed with the regiment in Crimea, but went back on board ship the next day and was sent back to the depot where he was invalided out of the army on a pension. According to the report of the staff surgeon, he was suffering from "chronic rheumatism", due to "the effects of military service in Turkey during the last nine months." Sergeant-Major James Taylor had spent a total of 21 years, 363 days with the 93rd, 11 years and four months of that overseas. The 10~ years he spent in Canada must have made a great impression on him, because in 1856 he and his family emigrated there, settling in London, Ontario. One more son, James was born in London, on 1 February 1862, and three daughters; Isa­ bella, born on 15 January 1856, Charlotte, born on 8 October 1859, and Maria Florence, born on 18 January 1865. James Taylor died in London, on 11November1897, and his wife Abigail Carlton Peel died on 7 February 1915, also at London. We now turn to James Taylor's eldest son, George, who had been born in Sterling, Scotland in 1849. Following his schooling in London, he appren­ ticed as a harness maker. In 1866, however, the Fenians were causing a great 19 deal of alarm in Ontario and threatening invasion of Canada, so George Taylor, at the age of 16, enlisted, as did a large number of other boys of his age, in the local militia unit, the 7th (London) Battalion. He was a pri­ vate in Number 5 Company under a Major MacPherson, and when the Fenians finally did invade Canada, his unit was called out; first to Paris, Port Colborne, Thorald Camp, and to Ridgeway. Most Canadian textbooks and histories of the Fenian troubles tend to dignify the clash between the Canadians and the Fenians at Ridgeway as an "engagement". In fact, however, after some initial successes particularly by the Trinity College and University companies, and by the Highland Company, a few mounted Fenians were sighted, and in the ensuing call to "Form Square" and "Prepare for Cavalry" there was confusion in the ranks which eventually resulted in a precipitous retreat. Fortunately, the Fenians, most of whom were trained soldiers, veterans of the U.S. civil war, chose not to pursue the Canadians past the village of Ridgeway, and realiz­ ing that with the arrival of regular troops, artillery and cavalry, that they would not stand much of a chance they retreated back across the river. This initial taste of military life and the excitement of the campaign no doubt impressed young George, for when the Red River Rebellion broke out in 1869, he enlisted in the 1st Ontario Rifles. He was 20 years old when he was attested on 3 May 1870. Due to the anticipated rigours of the expedition, only the strongest and healthiest young men were recruited for the Red River Expedition. Three regiments, all under the command of Colonel (later General) Garnet Wol­ seley, were to take part: a force of British Regulars, the 60th Rifles (includ­ ing a detachment of Royal Artillery and Engineers); the 1st Ontario Rifles; and the 2nd Quebec Rifles. The 1st Ontario Rifles trained at the Crystal Palace in Toronto, and it became fashionable for the local citizenry to make a holiday out of watch­ ing the volunteers train. Even before it started for Winnipeg, the expedition took on the aspect of a crusade to rescue the English-speaking Protestant minority at the Red River from the French-speaking, Catholic insurgents. This attitude later led to a great deal of trouble between the Canadians and theMetis. · The expedition itself has been described many times, and was significant in military history because it was successfully concluded in the face of tre­ mendous difficulties transporting men and equipment across the hostile Canadian Shield between Thunder Bay and the Red River. When the expedition arrived at Fort Garry," Riel had decamped, and since there was no further need for their services, the British Regular troops returned to Ontario, while the volunteer troops stayed on in Winnipeg. Soon, however, the 1st Ontario Rifles was sent to Fort Pembina near the U.S. Border, and stayed there until disbanded in 1871. It is likely that it was the need to keep the Canadians and the Metis apart as much as the threat of a Fenian invasion from Minnesota that prompted the Government to send the militia to Pembina. The Fenian threat, however was real, and only the prompt intervention of the U.S. Cavalry prevented an invasion and probably bloodshed.

THE MAGUIRES It is necessary at this point to backtrack to the year 1825 and to Ireland, where an event that later would affect future generations of Taylors was taking place. 20 Philip Maguire, our second Gael, was born in 1825 in the parish of Field­ stone, near the town of Drogheda, in the Irish County of Louth. He was a Roman Catholic and his Father's name was Patrick. During his early days, Philip must not have had the opportunity to attend school, because when he enlisted in the 9th Regiment of Foot, 25 May 1843, he could not write his name, and had to mark his "X" on the oath. The record shows that he received an enlistment bounty of £3.17.6. At the time of enlistment, he was classed, as James Taylor had been, as a labourer. The Regiment left England in 1844, and arrived in India on 4 February the same year. The Sihk wars broke out in 1845, and during a campaign known as the Campaign of the Army of the Sutledge, several battles were fought in which the British were successful, although casualties were heavy on both sides. The first of these battles was the Battle of Moodke (or Mudke) on 18 December 1845. Philip Maguire was severely wounded by grape shot. One ball penetrated his left knee and had to be extracted from the inside of the joint. In the process, gangrene set in, and Maguire had to be left behind in hospital when his regiment marched down to Calcutta. He subsequently returned to England with a division of the 21st Regiment, and on inspection was declared unfit for further service. He convalesced in hospital in England until August 1848, at which time he was discharged on pension. About that time, Philip Maguire returned home to Ireland and took as a bride a girl named Mary Hughes, whose father's name was Patrick Hughes. In 1849, the Hudson's Bay Company, concerned over the free trade issue at the Red River, decided to recruit a force of British Army pensioners to act as a guard at Fort Garry. Philip Maguire joined this force (known as the Chelsea Pensioners, after the Chelsea veteran's hospital in England). The pensioners who went to Fort Garry were expected to be recently pen­ sioned and reasonably fit, and presumably Philip was considered reasonably fit in spite of his wound. He arrived at Fort York on Hudson Bay in 1850, with the second contin­ gent of pensioners, accompanied by his wife who gave birth to a baby boy during the voyage. But the infant died as the ship approached Fort York and was buried there. The pensioners travelled by York Boat to Lake Win­ nipeg and the Red River, and to Fort Garry where they were granted plots of land on the Assiniboine River, near where the Manitoba Parliament Buildings now stand. The first daughter of the Maguires, Mary Anne, was born at Fort Garry in 1851. Two more children were born in the next two years, Elizabeth in 1852 and Francis in 1854. In 1854, a disastrous flood hit the Red River, causing widespread damage. Philip Maguire, perhaps disheartened because of the flood, and somehow hearing that a force of pensioners was being raised for Fort Malden, near Amherstberg, in Ontario, set out on the long journey to St. Paul, Chicago, and Amherstberg. Travelling by Red River cart and train, the family reached Fort Malden that same year. Two children were born in Ontario; Philip in 1856, and Catherine in 1858. In 1859 the pensioner force was disbanded, and the Maguires, hearing that a measure of prosperity had returned to the Red River settlement, started the long journey back. Philip acquired a farm in St. James Parish, and took up farming to supplement his pension. Four more children were born in the next few years, Thomas in 1860, Marguerite in 1862, Richard in 1864, and James in 1869. 21 Taylor Family In 1869 the Red River Rebellion broke out, and Louis Riel raised the Fleur de Lis fl ag of the Provisional Government over Fort Garry. There was some bitt er opposition to the Metis from t he English-speaking minority, and a group of Riel's opponents set about trying to ensure that a quantity of government supplies stored in a brick store owned by a Dr. Schultz, did not fall int o Riel's hands. However, on the night of 7 December, 1869, the Metis surrounded the store and took a number of prisoners who were placed in confinement in t he fort. After t he rebellion was over, Philip Maguire was accused of aiding the Metis in the capture of Dr. Schultz' store, and of being armed and in the service of the Provisional Government. In 1872, an investigation was held and as a result Philip Maguire was stricken from the list of pensioners, and in spite of repeated petitions to the Imperial Wai· Office, Magufre did not have his pension reinst ated. The transcripts of the testimony given at the investigation make fascinating reading and give an insight into the troubles of the time. It is interesting to not e that t he first fl ag raised by the Provisional Government at the Red River had only a Fleur de Lis on it, but later added a shamrock. It is difficult to resist speculation about whether Philip Ma­ guire's wife Mary may have had a hand in sewing t he shamrock on, although there were known Fenian sympathizers among the rebels, and one of the rebel generals was named O'Donahue. After the rebellion and the trial, Philip Maguire and his family settled in Loret te, a small town just east of Winnipeg. I have not yet determined when and where Philip died, although as a relatively old man in 1900 he was still living in Lorette and making representation to the Governor to have his pension reinstated. Of the many sons and daughters of the Maguires, other than Mary Anne Maguire, my great-great-Grandmother, I have no information, although presumably some of them stayed in Manitoba and raised families there.

GEORGE TAYLOR AND AFTER George T aylor, Private of the 1st Ontario Rifles, married Mary Anne Maguire in Winnipeg, sometime during t he early 1870's. The records of Marriages in Manitoba go back only as fa r as 1882, and I have not yet discovered the church records that would give the exact date of the ma1·­ riage. It was obviously unpopular with t he Maguires, because Mary Anne was disowned by the family for having married a Protestant. George Taylor invested in a farm near Winnipeg and settled there until 1882, at which time he sold out and returned to London, Onta1·io. Winnipeg was enjoying a boom in the 1880's and undoubtedly he profited from the sale of the farm. George and Mary Anne Taylor eventually had a total of nine children, four girls and five boys, a number of whom were born at the fal'm in Win­ nipeg. The eldest daughter, Emma Jean T aylor was born in 1879, was an honour graduate of the University of Toronto in 1899, and is the author of several historical novels, the best known of which is "The Lily of Fol't Gany", written under the nom de plume of Jane Rolyat (Taylor spelled backwal'ds). She also wrote "Wilderness Walls" a novel about pioneer life in New Liskeard, Ontario. Emma married Neil MacDougall in Toronto and died in 1956.

Born in Louisville, Kentucky in 1826, 1 he graduated from the University of Louisville (KY) Law School 4 and in 1850 was sharing rooms with another young attorney David PROVINCE, at a Boarding House in Ocala, Florida.3

By 1853 Joseph M. TAYLOR had established himself as a surveyor and lawyer in Hernando County .4 He was a member of the convention of April 6, 1853 to work toward building a railroad from St. Johns River through Hernando County.5 He served as a County Judge and a County Commissioner for several years. In 1855 he was a 2nd Lieutenant on the Staff of Colonel M. Whit SMITH during the Seminole War of that period. Atage 32 he married Sarah Jane, the 19-year-old daughterofMajor Aaron Taylor FRIERSON. They were the parents ofFelix Elam TAYLOR and Hester Merina TAYLOR by 1860. They were active members of the Union Baptist Church of Brooksville'? but life was to change as the Civil War loomed.

In 1861 a State Convention was held in Tallahassee for the purpose of voting on secession from the Union. The Hernando County delegate, Dr. F. W. SAXON 7 died of diphtheria during the proceedings. The Honorable Joseph M. TAYLOR was elected to replace him 8 and on January 10, 1861 was one of the 67 delegates (out of 74) who voted to secede from the Union, making Florida the third state to join the Confederacy. 9

In order to preserve civil order, many communities established military units. In Hernando County Captain Joseph M. TAYLOR mustered the Old Guards Mounted Rangers under Captain James H. BREAKER into service on March 29, 1862 at Brooksville, Florida. They were mustered out three months later under General Order IX.10

From this point, General Taylor was crisscrossing the State, serving in various positions. In July 1861 he replaced Colonel William L. TURNER as commander of troops at Fort Brooke, near Tampa. It was a short-lived post, as Captain John T. LESLEY replaced him in August of that year.11

We find Brigadier-General TAYLOR calling two detachments of Confederate Coast Guards to active duty in July 1861 and releasing them in September 1861. He served as a Florida State Senator from District 20 in 1863 and 1865) 2 He traveled constantly, and when he could visit his wife in Hernando County, he would bring extravagant gifts. In a letter dated April 1862, his mother-in-law writes "Judge TAYLOR came home two weeks ago and brought Sarah a most handsome silk dress." Later she writes, "Around Christmas he came home and he then brought her $I 00 worth of goods.13

Dashing, dependable, a Southern gentleman serving The Cause, he was denied amnesty when the Confederacy fell. President Andrew JOHNSON's Amnesty Proclamation ofMay 29, 1865 was more severe than President LINCOLN's of December, 1863. JOHNSON disenfranchised all former military and civil officers ofthe Confederacy and all those who owned property worth $20,000 or more and made their estates liable to confiscation.11lThere were threats of hangings, imprisonment and confiscation of property. ln November 1865 the commandant ofthe notorious Confederate prison at Andersonville, Georgia was hanged but imprisonment was the general punishrnent.15 Not all Southerners acquiesced obediently.

Here is a vivid image of Joseph M. TAYLOR as he wrote to the Attorney General of the United States,

JOSEPH MICHAEL MAY TAYLOR, Cont'd.

James SPEED. This is a verbatim transcription of correspondence between what seems to be old acquaintances if not friends: "Hon. James SPEED "I have been informed that you were called to a place in the council ofthe United States. Permit me to tender my congratulations. The office of the Attorney General of the United States was never a sinacure. Now questions arise before you that the Framers of the Constitution could have prevented had they foreseen; questions that will employ their solution all the knowledge of the Law that you possess.

"You are master of the situation and your opinions will shape the course of a party that seems to defy the elements of defeat Being a believer in the doctrine of accomplished facts, I seek to accommodate myself to the new order of things, if I had lived in the times of Cato, I would have bowed to Caesar and justified myself by the reflection that in the political horizon there was not a solitary point in sight where the banner of opposition still floated against him. Yet Caesar was merciful, it was reserved for Marat, Danton, Robespierre,16 those high priests of progress to make blood a lever of power. True, the reaction swept them to bloody graves and prostrated their party.

"Yet though willing to bend my sail to a favoring breeze, I dare not take the oath prescribed because I regard the Pres-proclamation and the Constitution to be inconsistent and repugnant to each other. The rights which a state of war may grant to the Executive are determined, or rather ended, by peace.

''I am willing that slavery, the cause of difference between north and south, should be removed. That was the stake and we lost, but I cannot swear that the mode and manner in which you have accomplished its removal is in accordance with the Constitution which governs you. To me it is a matter of indifference how you have done (?). Do not make me swear to it. When you swear me to abide a measure and give me constitutional privileges, you deny me the exercise of these privileges which you affect to concede to me. The mother says to the child, Here is some money dear. I give it all to you. It is yours, but you must not spend it.

"Settle the abolition ofslavery among yourselves; we have lost; all the rights that survive to us were secured only by the laws of nations applicable to a conquered people, but do not ask us indirectly to swear that you are acting in accordance with your own organic law. The death of those whom you may deem the leaders of the Rebellion will not be conducive of peace and harmony in the south once blood begins to flow on the scaffold. The Yankees in the south, having nothing to loose but their lives may not submit like pampered capons to be killed at the will oftheir masters. We sought to shape the war so as to avoid the guerilla system. As a civilian you can but little co~prehend a system so frightful in horrors to friend and foe. Nor do I over­ estimate the recourses of the country when I say - but that is foreign to the purpose of this letter.

"I want a special pardon. I was a member of the convention that voted Florida out of the Federal, and into the Confederate, Union; then an aid-de-camp to Gen. R. F. FLOYD then an aid-de-camp to Governor CIDLTON, then a Brigadier General Commanding state troops, then a Senator in Florida Senate, then a private in Confederate states service to repel a raid; then a paroled prisoner of war under the Johnson Sherman Capitulation.

"I regard the slavery questions as settled by our defeat and as it was the only question which gave rise to others that divided the north and south I see no reason why I could not become a good and loyal citizen of the United States not in name merely.

"Direct your reply to Joseph M. TAYLOR care of John PARSONS, New York City, who will send it to me. We have no mails.

Your friend, Joseph M. TAYLOR" 17

No record of a reply or action against Joseph M. TAYLOR has been located. We know that he served on the Board of County Commissioners in December 1865 certifying the election of November 29, 1865. He and Sarah Jane looked to Kentucky after the war, but were drawn to the West. In 1870 their son William May TAYLOR was born in Rusk County, Texas and their last child, Julia Olivia TAYLOR was born in Young County, Texas in 1873.

Joseph M. TAYLOR prospered. He owned a cattle ranch south ofthe Brazos RiverJ Bsurveyed and worked with the railroads 1.9as they reached across the continent. Later they settled in Moore, Oklahoma where he and Sarah Jane are buried in the Smith Cemetery.20

During the past 3 months, Linda Hanabarger and Dick Paul have carried out a research project on the TAYLOR families of Fayette County, with special attention to those in Seminary Township. Much work had been done when Virginia Hopkins of Alexandria. VA sent a packet of family data that took the family back another 3 generations and filled in many blanks!

The family begins with ISAAC TAYLOR born County Antrim and came to Virginia about 1731 when his name appears as an early land buyer in Borden's Great Tracl. I Iis wife was Isabella WJLSON. They were Scotch Covenanters.

l. Andrew TAYLOR I b ca 1732 Rockbridge Co., Virginia (Rock Creek Settlement) 2. George TAYLOR. had a daughter Sarah and I 0 sons - it is said all sons were in the Revolution. 3. Isaac TAYLOR died 1787, a surveyor, lived on the Nolachucky River, VA. 4. William TAYLOR 5. Lott ice TAYLOR m James CAMPBELL. Isaac deeded land to all of his sons and then moved in with his daughter where he died in 1780-1781. Most of his remaining estate was left to Lottice and her daughter Elizabeth CAMPBELL.

ANDREW TAYLOR I born ca 1732 Rockbridge Co., VA d 1787 Washington Co., NC, now Carter Co., TN. Andrew's Will was dated May 11 , 1787. Hem 1) ca 1750 Elizabeth WILSON, his first cousin. They moved from Rockb1idge Co. in 1778. Hem 2) Feb. 1779, Augusta Co., VA, Ann WILSON, sister to Elizabeth.

Andrew served from Virginia under Col. BURR.ELEY at Albemarle Barracks and others. He was at the Watauga Settlements 1773-4 and 1777-8.

ANDREW TAYLOR FAMILY IN FAYETTE COUNTY

The TAYLOR family first appears in this area on the 1820 Census in DuBois Twp., Bond Co., IL. James TAYLOR was head of the family and among those in his household were 3 males 1-5; 1 male 6-10; 1 male 11-15; 2 males 16-20; 1 male 20-30. There were only 2 females in his household - 1 female 0-5 and one 15-20.

Fayette Co. was formed in 1821 and on the next Federal Census, the 1830 Fayette County Census - we have only one family by that name, that of Andrew Taylor.

By 1840 another family has moved in next to Andrew- that ofT. TAYLOR - the oldest male in the household was born between 1770 and 1790 and the oldest female born between 1780-1790. In this census we have heads of families as T. TAYLOR, A. TAYLOR, born North Carolina, William TAYLOR, born Kentucky and James TAYLOR who appears to be the same James in the 1820 Bond Co. Census.

ANDREW TAYLOR III was born 1795 Carter Co., TN (In 1795 this was a part of North Carolina) d 13 Feb 1859 Fayette Co., IL m 1) Charlotte MATHENY she b 1799, North Carolina died 18 June 1857 bu Taylor Cem., m 2) 31 Mar 1854 Annis MATHENY COOK she b 1802 NC, the widow of John COOK.

Andrew's estate was filed in Fayette Co., widow Annis relinquished her right to administer the estate to Columbus C. Taylor and John Cook. A.J. Taylor was on their Bond.

A biographical sketch of son, Andrew J. in the History Of Fayette County, Illinois 1878 stated that the parents were buried at the family burial ground near the home place. Neither Andrew nor Charlotte have a headstone.
