Taylor/Wells/ Wilson/Pyle
So many Taylors!
I have read in 3 places about a Taylor Who had several sons in the Revolutionary War. But I have never seen their names. Does anyone know who they were. Who was their Dad?The Taylors I am looking for are Thomas and his brother William. A brother Joseph,too.Family relate birth place S C. They had to have a little money. They came to Southern Illinois between 1800-1807. They went back because of Indian unrest.Lewis Wells and 3 Pyle brothers,among others with them.Some of them stayed around Christian Co Ky. Thomas must have went to claiborne Co Ms. His daughter Phoebe married Paris Hickman in Ms.I don't know if family raised Phoebe. Just speculation. Paris and she were in Perry Co Il by 1860. Thomas had a son William in Tn before returning back to Southern Illinos by 1812. Family relate Tom's wife was Mary Wilson. They could have gone to Ms to see her folks.Tom's youngest son Michael J Taylor and family members moved to Jasper Co Mo late 1800's. Main source family accounts, census, Jackson Co History. Brownsville Jackson CoIl Courthouse burned. Losing early records. Col Ardell Wells remembered the family's excitement when they learned Cousin Zach Taylor had become president.
