D 2. Mary Ann, daughter of Major John Martin, ... After the death of J. W. Buckner, Sr. , she married Colonel Richard Taylor, son of Commodore Richard Taylor, grandson of George Taylor, great-grandson of James Taylor, Jr., and great-great-grandson of James Taylor, Sr. , who emigrated from England to America.

Colonel Richard Taylor was for many years Sergeant to the Court of Appeals. He was an energetic business man. For many years before his death he was much afflicted from the effects of a wound he received in his hip in the Indian wars while under the command of General James Wilkinson ; and in consequence of the kindness and attention shown him by the General at the time he named a son after him. ...

[In her application, she names ancestor Richard Taylor, Jr. (1777-1835) as the son of Richard Taylor and Catherine Davis. This appears to be the more accepted identity of their son Richard (see Find A Grave).]
