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]. This land appears not to have been patented.

The two latter tracts were close enough that Isaac Jr. sold them to John Maxwell as a single parcel on 29 Mar 1771.

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.

Southern Craigs Creek ?

Site 5: Little River: Jan 1767 Isaac Taylor 103 acres on Little River, mouth of Old Field Creek, later Montgomery or Floyd Co. (See George c. 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.

Site 7: Sinking Creek Just like Isaac Taylor’s land were close to the Botetourt/Montgomery County line on the Roanoke, George Taylor’s lands were close to the Botetourt/Montgomery Co line on Sinking Creek Creek.

George got grants on Sinking Creek in the 1790s and his sons got grants there too (Adam 1798) (George 1802)(Jacob 1803) Montgomery 1794yr George Taylor 224 acres on the waters of Sinking Creek a branch of New River. 1794yr George Taylor 58 acres in the valley on the north side of Sinking Creek adjoining William Currey 1794yr George Taylor 100 acres on Sinking Creek a branch of New River.

Together with above would enable a good mapping of this cluster of parcels, (Part sold in 1797)

Site 8: Grayson County VA/Ashe Co NC

John Taylor who settled in the portion of Montgomery Co that became Grayson County was probably born in the 1740s and had children born around the 1770s. There was a John Taylor and John Taylor Jr on the 1787 to 1789 Montgomery Co tax lists; so we assume these are father and son.

John got a grant on New River in the Grayson Co area in 1784 (360 acres) and then in 1797 got a grant of 150 acres on New River bordering on North Carolina. James Taylor (possibly son of John) got a grant on New River in 1796. John (father or son?) got a grant on Elk Creek in Ashe Co NC bordering the Virginia line in 1802. He seems to have moved to Ashe Co and died there in 1807.

Children appears to be: Simeon b abt 1768, Stephen b abt 1770, John b abt 1772, William b abt 1775. Nathan and James were close kin also.

John’s son Stephen Taylor of Ashe County sold part of the Grayson Co land back to his mother Mary in 1818.

The 1787 Montgomery Co tax lists in the portion that became Grayson included: John Taylor Sr, John Taylor Jr, and William, presumably John who got the grants and sons John and William. In 1788, there is also a James, Simeon and Stephen. Stephen is documented to be the son of John; Simeon bought a portion of the Elk Creek land from John in 1804; Nathan sold William land in Ashe Co on the state border in 1811.

According to one researcher, William Taylor b 1775 md 1802 to Mary Vanover and lived on land on New River deeded to him by his parents John and Mary Taylor. About 1818, Willliam moved to Elk Creek in Ashe (later after 1859 Allegany County) where it appears he took over his father’s mill. (this implies that John moved here prior to 1818.) William died 1823 and left the mill to his son John. After William died, his widow moved back to Grayson county and lived with Mary Taylor said to be the widow of her father-in-law.

This same source indicates that John Taylor the father married Mary Lewis and had: Simeon Taylor abt 1768 to 1824 Grayson Stephen Taylor 1770 d 1849 Washington co md Sarah Roark John Taylor 1770 d 1850-60 Md Martha Long William Taylor 1775 md 1802 Mary Vanover d 1823 Ashe Co NC

Site 9: Rockingham Co

John Taylor got a land grant for 120 acres (in the part of Augusta County that became Rockingham in 1786) on Muddy Creek in 1756 and sold it with Esther his wife in 1757. He got a grant for 190 acres on Cub Run in 1770 and died in 1772.

1756yr John Taylor 120 acres on the head of a branch of Muddy Creek (john oneills, (This lay in what became Rockingham Co) 1771yr John Taylor 190 acres on Spring draft a branch of Cub Run. (what became Rockingham Co)

His wife Esther got a grant for 230 acres adjacent to her former husband’s land in 1783.

Children identified in a law suit of 1803: Sons: John Taylor, Archd. Taylor, James Taylor d 1843, Joseph Taylor, Jonathan Taylor, Wm. Taylor (1770-1848), Daus: Sarah Taylor, Margaret (md Francis Carter), Catherine (md Saml. Twitchet), Elenor (md Sylvenus Gibson) and Easter Taylor,

Archibald obtained grants on Cub Run and North River in 1793 and 1798; John obtained grants in 1798 and 1799.

The 1810 census indicates that John Taylor and his brothers were still in Rockingham, 3 being born prior to 1765 and 2 between 1765 and 1774.

So this shows that John Taylor came to Pulaski County KY by 1805 was not the same John Taylor as the one from Rockingham County.

There was also a David Taylor and Charles Taylor who appeared on the 1789 tax list; David obtained a grant in 1792 on Cub Run and another grant in 1800.

John Taylor got a grant in 1807 on Stover’s Mill Creek which is associated with this step-father.

Site 10: Kerr’s Creek

1795 William Taylor 24 acres on head waters of Kerrs Creek adjoining William Wallaces land on the south west side. 1802 William Taylor 731 acres on the head of Kerrs Creek.

William was in the tax lists on Kerr’s (Carr’s) Creek in 1792. His land was sold by his widow Ruth in 1814 along with his sons John (and wife Agnes) and son William.
