Taylor Researchers,
I am still searching for a JOHN WILLIAM TAYLOR who lived in Edgefield
District in S.C. in the 1840's.. Family legend has it that when,at age 66 he
remarried, two of his sons, David B. and Hiram Emanuel ran away from home
and settled eventually in Arkansas and Texas.I am descended from David B. If
anyone,researching the ancestry of Jacob Isaac TAYLOR or anyone else, runs
onto the name JOHN WILLIAM TAYLOR in South Carolina during the years 1770 to
1850, please inform me. In my research I've never been able to find a John
William in that area at that time.
Thanks,
Jack
