The land was then in the part of Augusta County that became Botetourt Co in 1770 and Rockbridge Co in 1778. He divided his land amongst his kin in the 1760s.

Upper Tract to son William: IN 1810, William with his wife Jane/Jean/Jaen sold the 200 acres bought by his father in 1762, the remainder of the 150 acres his father bought from his grandfather in 1765 that William must have somehow acquired from his brother Isaac, and 167 acres he himself bought in 1809 Isaac Sr went to Roanoke Creek and perhaps then went to his daughter’s on Cripple Creek where he died. Andrew went to Washington/Carter Co TN 1778/1787; Isaac Jr went to Forks of Roanoke; William died on Mill Creek land. Eliz, George Andrew got Hemp Certiciates in Augusta Co in 1774 (the Mill Creek land was in Botetourt wasn’t it?) There is a George (returned lives in Amherst) There is a George Taylor 1778 son of Thomas bound out. There is a George Taylor bound out in 1792 in Augusta Co. This land would have been in Augusta Co up until 1778 when Rockbridge was formed. It looks like it was just north of the 1770 Botetourt Co Augusta Co boundary. Site 2: Buffalo Creek/Purgatory Creek * 325 ac. on the waters of Buffalo Creek (southern Rockbridge Co.), surveyed on 16 Jun 1745; Orange County [Orange County Virginia Deed Book 10, pg. 54].

Sold 1762 TO Issac Taylor Jr who sold it 1771 to John Maxwell 1763 Isaac Taylor 70 acres on Purgatory Creek a branch of James River. (corner to his former survey).

The two latter tracts were close enough that Isaac Jr. sold them to John Maxwell as a single parcel on 29 Mar 1771. 1762: Issac Taylor and Esabella to Issac Taylor Jr. 181 acres, waters of the James River 1765: Issac Taylor SR to Issac TaylorJr , Purgatory Creek, 70 acres 1771: Page 227. March 29, 1771. Isaac Taylor, Jr. and Jane his wife to John Maxwell. 100 pounds. This appears to be the George Taylor said to be one of the 5 brothers who came to Augusta Co by 1773. 1773 George Taylor 600 acres on the top of the short hill in the fork of James River.(Short Hill is in the Buffalo Creek area) 1773 George Taylor 90 acres on the head of Buffaloe Creek in the forks of James River. 1773 George Taylor 110 acres on Purgatory Creek and joining lines of the lands of David Wallace and James Barton. 1773 George Taylor 60 acres on the waters of Buffaloe Creek a branch of James River. 1789 George Taylor 180 acres on Nettle Run one of the head branches of Buffaloe Creek in the fork of James River. 1800 James Taylor 113 acres in Rockbridge and Botetourt Counties adjoining George Taylor, John Barcley &c (This land surrounds the land that James Taylor bought of George Taylor at the top of Short Hill) 1800 James Taylor 113 acres in the counties of Rockbridge and Botetourt, adjoining George Taylors land. 1829 Silas Taylor 88 acres on head of Buffaloe Creek. Site 3: Forks of Roanoke It appears that Isaac Taylor Sr bought land here in 1750, but that it was his son Isaac Taylor Jr who got additional grants in the area in the 1760s (400 acres) and late 1780s and then a large one in 1797, also in the vicinity of the forks. It would appear that he sold to Isaac Taylor III the large grant to Isaac III in 1797, just before the death of Isaac Jr in 1801. The William Taylor who got grants in the same area 1789-1791 could be brother to Isaac Jr or son of Isaac Jr. The Thomas who got land here in 1796 is probably the son of Isaac Taylor Jr d 1801. CharlesTaylor got his lands on the Roanoke beginning in 1802 to 1818. Willam Taylor got lands on the Montgomery Co side in 1802 A George Taylor got lands near Charles in 1809, 1810. * 200 ac. in the forks of the Roanoke River (just into Montgomery Co.) from James Patton, 28 Nov 1751 (Hildebrand map says 1756); 1750 James Patton to Isaac Taylor, 200a cres Roanoke 1763 Isaac Taylor, Jr. 400 acres on the fork of Roanoak.Augusta County 1787 Isaac Taylor: 89 acres on the north fork of Roanoke adjoing the land of Robert Shankling. 1787 Isaac Taylor 37 acres adjoining his own land on the waters of the south fork of Roanoak. 1787 Isaac Taylor 160 acres adjoining his own land and the land of Moses Dunlop on the waters of the south fork of Roanoak 1789 William Taylor 30 acres lr. 29po. on Roanoak River 1791 William Taylor 138 acres on Roanoak River 1792 William Taylor 260 acres on the north and south forks of Roanoak adjoining the land of James Robertson, and Isaac Taylor. 1792 Thomas Taylor 98 acres on Roanoak River. 1796 Thomas Taylor 75 acres on Roanoak River adjoining the land of Peter Dierly. 1797 Isaaac Taylor 970 acres on Roanoak River adjoining the lands of Colo.

Taylor 1797) Site 6: Crab Creek of New River Both George Taylor d 1801 and John Taylor d 1814 seem to have been on Crab Creek in 1768. It appears that George Taylor Sr d 1801 bought land on Crab Creek in 1768. His son George obtained grants on Crab Creek in the 1790s adjoining his father and in 1803. Another George obtained land there in 1813. By purchase, George Sr’s sons obtained land there also. John Taylor is a witness in a 1768 deed by Frederick Starnes on Crab Creek. But his first grant there was not til 1784. His son John McCanless Taylor begins to get grants on Crab Creek/New River in 1800. 1768, Jacob Lorton and Lydia to George Taylor, 656 acres on Crab Creek of New River 1788yr George Taylor 60 acres on the waters of Crab Creek a branch of New River adjoining the land of Matthew Smith.
