Information on Isaac Taylor

2. ISAAC2 TAYLOR (NATHANIEL1) was born October 08, 1710 in Ulster, Ireland (some say Co Antrim; others say Co Armagh,) and died February 06, 1781 in Montgomery County, Virginia. He married ISABELLA WILSON 1730 in Ireland, daughter of JOHN WILSON and ANNE. She was born in Ireland.

Children of ISAAC TAYLOR and ISABELLA WILSON are:

4. i. GEORGE3 TAYLOR, In 1778, George sold the land his father sold him in 1765. He may be the George who got a land grant in Washington County, TN in 1782.

Contrary to published records, George son of Isaac is not the George Taylor who bought land in 1768 on Crab Creek in the portion of Augusta that became Montgomery County and who died January 31, 1801, Belmont, Montgomery County, Virginia, USA. DNA from a descendant of George Taylor d 1801 and a descendant of Isaac Taylor prove they are not kin to each other.

5. ii. ISAAC TAYLOR, b. 1734, Ireland; d. April 1801, Roanoke Creek, Montgomery, Virginia.

iii. WILLIAM TAYLOR, b. 1736, Ireland; d. 1767, Augusta County, Virginia; m. ELIZABETH d 1799 Rockbridge County.

6. iv. LETTICE TAYLOR, b. 1732, Ireland. married James Campbell.

7. v. ANDREW TAYLOR, b. Abt. 1773, Armagh, Antrim, Ireland. Andrew sold his land in 1778 and went to the portion of Washington County TN that became Carter County.

vi. ELIZABETH TAYLOR.

8. vii. JOHN TAYLOR, b. 1731, Ireland. (Though some historians report John Taylor as a son of Isaac, John is not mentioned in Isaac's will or land sales.)

[Glenn Morton: this John lived 140 miles northeast of Isaac Taylor on Stover's Creek which is in Rockingham county. The John Stephenson who married his wife also lived there:In 1733, Jacob Stover held a grant of 5000 acres on the Shenandoah River in what is now Eastern Rockingham Co., Virginia. John Stephenson received a grant of land from the English Crown on 1 June 1741 of a portion of the 5000 acres located in Mill Creek Valley. http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/f/r/e/Marvin-L-French/WEBSITE-0001/UHP -0027.html. This John is no relation to Isaac. For more info see http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/44515691/person/24058312026/mediax/1?pgnum=1&pg=0&pgpl=pid%7CpgNum ]
