Hi,
My gggg-grandfather/grandmother were Allen Taylor and Rebecca Pope. A source just gave me this info: there were 12 children.
The youngest 7 were living with Mills Taylor, Sr. in Robertson Co. TN by 1848 as I gather, Rebecca must have died.
The children were,
1) Penina Taylor, b.1817, md. Edwin Clark of MS;
2) James W. Taylor (my line),
3) Reubin S. Taylor,
4) Sally Taylor,
5) Elizabeth Taylor, md. James Pope of NC,
6) Allen C. Taylor,
7) John F.A. Taylor,
8) Wilson C. Taylor,
9) Rebecca Ann Taylor,
10) Malvina Taylor,
11) William A. Taylor,
12) Winifield C. Taylor
I would appreciate any info you got on William Pope and Allen Taylor. Do you know if Allen and Rebecca married in Robertson. Thanks, Colleen

Wilson Taylor, Sr and Jr, Edgecombe/Nash Co NC
By Guy Baker April 09, 2012 at 12:19:16
Nash Co NC was created (but not yet named) from part of Edgecombe Co NC in Nov 1777 and records for Nash Co NC began on 2 Apr 1778. After that, Arthur Taylor descendants owned land in Nash Co NC and in Edgecombe Co NC. Deeds dated before Nov 1777 with references to Nash Co NC had those references added when the deeds were recorded, after 1 Apr 1778.
Wilson Taylor, Sr., was born May 1749-Apr 1753 in Edgecombe Co NC or in Southampton Co VA, son of Arthur Taylor and Faith (Foster?). Arthur Taylor of Edgecombe Co NC sold Southampton Co VA land on 13 Feb 1755, “75 acres where said Arthur now lives,” so it is hard to determine where Arthur Taylor was living in 1749-1753, the years before his mother Ann (Wilson?) Taylor Magot (Maget) died in Surry Co VA (in 1754). Arthur Taylor married Faith (Foster?) before 12 Mar 1747 and was still married to her on 13 Feb 1755.
Concerning Faith (Foster?) Taylor: on 5 Nov 1743 the Will of Simon Everitt was witnessed by William Bynum, Elizabeth Bynum and Faith Taylor (Proved 12 Mar 1746/47, Isle of Wight Co VA). “At a court held for the county of Southampton on Thursday the 13th Day of February 1755 . . . acknowledged by the within named Arthur Taylor and Ordered to be Recorded. And Faith the wife of said Arthur . . .” (per 13 Feb 1755 deed, Arthur Taylor to Thomas Turner, Southampton Co VA). This is from an abstract online but not checked: on 10 Feb 1757 Arthur Taylor sold James Barham 150 acres (in Southampton Co VA) on the south side of the Nottoway River adjoining the main road to John Foster’s line and Charles Barham, part of a tract which John Foster purchased of Joseph Holt on 23 Sep 1728 and which John Foster divided (devised) in his will to Arthur Taylor (a relative). Note: there was also a son Arthur Foster, and Foster might have been abstracted as Taylor. If it was Taylor then the deed possibly meant that the land was devised to daughter Faith Foster/Taylor and thereby reverted to her husband, Arthur, although I have found nothing in abstracts to support that Faith Foster was married to a Taylor, via her father’s will and records. Abstracts are sometimes wrong.
Wilson Taylor might have been named for his grandmother Ann (Wilson?) Taylor Magot (Maget), her will 1752/1754, Surry Co VA. He was not in that will but his father, sister and cousin William Wilson Taylor, among many others, were. Two of her grandsons carried the first or middle name Wilson.
Wilson Taylor, Sr.’s birth -- In Edgecombe Co NC court minutes by Weynette Parks Haun: on 15 Oct 1766 (130, p 45) Wilson Taylor chose his own guardian, John Taylor; on the Wednesday after the fourth Tuesday in May 1770 (267, p 89) there was a long entry concerning the suit of John Taylor guardian of Wilson Taylor against Thomas Carter, garnishee; on the following Friday (271, p 90) there was an entry containing locations and names (including Wilson Taylor’s) that showed where he lived in May 1770 and who his neighbors were; on 20 Apr 1774 Wilson Taylor was appointed Constable (391, p 128) and on 19 Apr 1775 (18, p 7) he was reappointed Constable. (Wilson Taylor was 12-16 years old on 15 Oct 1766, born before 15 Oct 1750-1754. He was apparently still under 21 in May 1770, born in/after May 1749. He was 21 by 20 Apr 1774, born before 20 Apr 1753. Altogether, he was born in/after May 1749 and before 20 Apr 1753, or May 1749-Apr 1753.)
Wilson Taylor, Sr., was probably alive on 11 Feb 1824 as Nash Co NC court minutes had “Wilson Taylor Jr,” juror (per Rackley) and court minutes would not have used Jr if Sr had died or moved away. Court minutes for 13 May 1825 had “. . . Mark Strickland (who was the Security of Wilson Taylor Senr in the Suit of Demsey Taylor) . . .” (per Rackley). Wilson Taylor, Sr., was not necessary alive on 13 May 1825 and those minutes suggest that he might have been deceased by that date. Another abstract online showed that: “Christopher Taylor’s will was written 31 May 1808, proved Nash County, Sept Court 1822 . . . Probated by John Ricks and Archibald Lamon who proved the handwriting of Wilson Taylor, Sr.” That suggests that Wilson Taylor, Sr., might have died by Sep 1822 or was unable to get to court. He might have been “William Taylor Senior” in the 1820 FC for Nash Co NC as there was a “Wilson Taylor Junior” in that FC.
Based upon the records below, this should have been the chain of events:
1)in Oct 1779 Milly Moore Clinch, widow of Edward Clinch, was made guardian of her three Clinch children;
2)by 25 May 1783 Wilson Taylor, Sr., had married (1st) Sarah Moore (per her father’s will);
3)in Feb 1785 Joseph J. Clinch was made guardian of the three Clinch children and Milly Clinch was ordered to resign her guardianship;
4)Ford Taylor (youngest, last born, of the Sarah Moore Taylor and Wilson Taylor, Sr., children) was born before Oct 1785 (descendants say he was born in 1787; he was born in 1787 in 1850 FC, in 1785 in the 1860 FC);
5)Sarah Moore Taylor died before Oct 1785;
6)Wilson Taylor married (2nd) to Milley Moore Clinch, widow of Edward Clinch, before Oct 1785;
7)Milley (Clinch or Taylor) was born to Wilson and Milley Taylor before Oct 1785 (records say so);
8)Milley Moore Clinch was Milley Taylor in her father’s Oct 1785 will with daughter Milley (no surname); and
9)Hannah Taylor (daughter of Wilson, Sr. and Milley) was born about 1785 or after 1785 (as she was the first of the Milley and Wilson Taylor, Sr., children after their daughter Milley).
Wilson Taylor, Sr., married (1st) Sarah Moore, daughter of “little” or “junior” Edward Moore by 25 May 1783, per his will: “In the Name of God Amen 25 May 1783 I Edward Moore of Nash County . . . Item I give and bequeath my loveing Daughter Sarah Taylor” http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MooreSouth/message/254http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MooreSouth/message/254 (and court minutes below prove this marriage)
Wilson Taylor, Sr., married (2nd) Millie Moore Clinch, daughter of Edward Moore I (Esq? Sr?), widow of Edward Clinch, by 11 May 1789 (and by Oct 1785). In that Oct 1785 will, Millie Moore Clinch was Milley Taylor, widowed and remarried. From Edward Moore’s estate records: “Nash County To the Sheriff of Said County Greeting you are hereby Commanded to Summon John Tanner, James Lee, Hannah (sic) Moor Widow of Edward Moor deced., Henry Horn his Father or Guardian ---- Chirisopher Moor Clinch or his Gurdian, Moor Lee his Father or Guardian, Milly, the Grand Daughter of the Said Deced & Daughter of Milly Taylor & Wilson Taylor all of the above mentioned persons as the Heirs & Devisees of Edward Moore Deced . . . to ( )ify the Debts of the said deced . . . the 11th Day of May Anno Dom 1789.” http://genforum.genealogy.com/taylor/messages/32755.htmlhttp://genforum.genealogy.com/taylor/messages/32755.html (and note that those summoned above were mentioned in Edward Moore’s will).
The outline below is not complete, but it is a place to start for this family. Much thanks is owed to Judy Moore Welch.
1_Wilson Taylor, Sr., b May 1749-Apr 1753 in Edge Co NC or in Southampton Co VA; d after 11 Feb 1824, possibly by May 1825, probably in Nash Co NC; m (1st) Sarah Moore, daughter of “little” or “junior” Edward Moore, by 25 May 1783, Nash Co NC; m (2nd) Millie Moore Clinch, daughter of Edward Moore I, by 11 May 1789 (and by Oct 1785); and, it is possible that Wilson Taylor, Sr., moved to another county or state before he died (but unlikely).
_Children of Wilson Taylor, Sr., and Sarah Moore (ages based upon Ford Taylor’s birth):
_2_ Kinchen Taylor, b before 1781, most likely died 1791-1801 as the Kinchen Taylor born about 1782 in the 1850 FC Nash Co NC was probably the son of Reubin Taylor of Beach Run Swamp, will 6 Dec 1821, Nov Ct 1822, Nash Co NC, as indicated by the Tarleton (Screws) Taylor name in his 1851 will;
_2_Eliza Taylor (born before 1782);
_2_Wilson Taylor, Jr. (b before 1783), his will dated 21 Jan 1827/May 1827, will signed in Raleigh, probated in Nash Co NC, m by the time of 1800 FC, m (1st or 2nd) Elizabeth Williams, daughter of Rowland Williams, by 12 Feb 1816, wife Elizabeth in his will.
____Children of Wilson Taylor, Jr., who married Elizabeth Williams by 12 Feb 1816:
____3_illegitimate children with Patsy Hogg: Nov Court 1815, child named Susan; Nov Court 1815, child named Betsy; Aug Court 1820 (no child named).
____3_Calvin J. Taylor, b after 1800, at least 21 in 1829? Born before 1809? (see illegitimate children); Calvin J. Taylor married Polly Pridgen on 22 Mar 1830, Ford Taylor bondsman, Nash Co NC (per Williams and Griffiths); there was a Nash Co NC petition about the estate of Hardy Pridgen (including Calvin Taylor and wife Polly) with dates 1849 to 3 Sep 1859;
____3_Asa T. Taylor, b after 1800, at least 21 in 1828? born before 1808? (see illegitimate children);
____3_Polly Taylor, b after 1800, married Orren D. Williams (after Jan 1827, by Aug 1829, per estate records); one genealogy showed that an Oran (Orrin) Williams was born on 14 Apr 1804 in Nash Co NC and died on 17 Apr 1838 in AL (or on 18 Jan 1837, Pickins Co AL), married Mary Polly Viverette, but it also shows that Augustine Edwards and Mary Polly Viverette were married on 28 Nov 1837 and then had eight children, and then she married Oran??
_2_Edward Taylor (born before 1784), married 1810-1814 Dinah Williams Poland, daughter of Roland Williams, widow of William Poland; Edward Taylor, 20 Jan 1854 (per abstracts) was when his estate was divided; 1844-03-Dec Nash Co NC, Edward Taylor Inventory and sale by Ford Taylor, admr.; Dinah Williams Poland Taylor left an estate division; one source showed “Dinah Taylor (alive) . . . the widow of Edward Taylor, decd. Nov Term 1844” http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sharpefamily&id=I19177http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sharpefamily&id=I19177 ; both estate divisions showed their children as Dinah M. Taylor and Sally Taylor Fuller, wife of Samuel Fuller; 1854-09-Mar Nash Co NC, Dinah Taylor Sale by A. B. Bains, Admr.
____Children of Edward Taylor who married (1st or 2nd) Dinah Williams Poland:
____3_Dinah M. Taylor (son William A. Taylor had guardian accounts, 1839-1851, Nash Co NC, not all guardian accounts checked for her); she was Cudy Taylor in 1850 FC Nash Co NC, and Dinah M. Taylor in 1860 FC, Nash Co NC, Joyners Depot, Winsteads District, age 45 (born about 1815) with other children surnamed Taylor (Richard Short apparent father, in court records, illegitimate children).
______Children of Dinah M. Taylor (and Richard Short?):

______4_many other children of Dinah M. Taylor in the 1850-1860 FC, all surnamed Taylor.
____3_Sally Taylor m Samuel Fuller before 20 Jan 1854 (or by 1844); in 1850 FC Nash Co NC, she was Sarah Fuller, age 37 (born about 1813), with many children.
_2_ Sarah Taylor (born before 1785);
_2_ William Ford "Buck" Taylor, born before Oct 1785, Nash Co NC (1850 FC said born 1787, 1860 FC said born 1785, family said 1787), died 1865 Wake Co NC (see below).
_Children of Wilson Taylor, Sr., and Milly Moore Clinch:
_2_Milley (Clinch or Taylor), born before Oct 1785, daughter of Wilson Taylor, Sr., and Milley Moore Clinch; she probably died before the 5 Aug 1806 record below, or she might have been also Hannah Taylor;
_2_Hannah Taylor, born about 1785 or after 1785, married by 5 Aug 1806 (or by 1802), probably as a 2nd or 3rd wife of Benjamin Merrit, Nash Co NC;Benjamin Merritt’s will, probated 6 July 1806, contained wife Hannah and five minor children, Inferior Court Greensburg, Greene Co GA; Mickleberry Merritt, son of Benjamin and Hannah, born 1802, died 24 Nov 1866, married Jean Brown on 5 Jan 1824; there were two Nash Co NC deeds fromBenjamin Merritt and wife Hannahof Greene Co GA to Wilson Taylor on 18 Apr 1805 (see below);

_2_Polly Taylor;
_2_Lynch Taylor (Linche Taylor d before 11 Aug 1819, admin Wilson Taylor, Jr., see below).
The last four above were probably born 1785-1806.
1790 Federal Census Nash Co NC

Two Wilson Taylors were in Nash Co the 1810 FC, and only “Wilson Taylor Junior” and “William (sic) Taylor Senior” in Nash Co in the 1820 FC (1810-1820 FC not checked). I think that Wilson Taylor, Sr., was probably “William Taylor Senior” in Nash Co in the 1820 FC.
Note on orphans and guardians: an orphan was a child under the age of 21 who had lost a parent and who had an inheritance (for instance, from a grandparent or an uncle), and an orphan without an inheritance did not need a court-ordered guardian. A father or mother of an orphan had to be accepted by a court as a guardian. Below, Wilson Taylor, Sr., had to be accepted as a guardian of his children with his 1st wife, Sarah Moore, as she had received an inheritance from her father, “little” Edward Moore, and her children were supposed to get that inheritance after they became 21 (which is why Wilson Taylor, Sr., had to become the guardian of his own children, in this case about six years or more after his wife Sarah had apparently died). Milley Moore Clinch, Wilson’s 2nd wife, was the guardian of her children with Edward Clinch, as they had inheritances from their deceased father, but she was later ordered to give up that guardianship by the court in Feb 1785 (reason not stated) but possibly because she was about to marry Wilson Taylor, Sr., as they were married by Oct 1885 (per her father’s will). Apparently Milley Moore Clinch Taylor had died by 6 Aug 1804 when the children she had with Wilson Taylor, Sr., received an inheritance previously given to her son, Horatio G. Clinch, deceased by 6 Aug 1804. Only the children Wilson, Sr., had with Sarah Moore were to receive her previous inheritance from her father, and only the children Wilson, Sr., had with Milley Moore Clinch were to receive the Clinch inheritance from Edward Clinch (her deceased first husband). In that case, the inheritance of Horatio G. Clinch, deceased, reverted to his mother, also deceased, and then went to his mother’s later children (all identified as the children of Wilson Taylor). Wilson Taylor, Sr., had two sets of children, each set with a different inheritance, in addition to daughter Milley (Clinch or Taylor) who seems not to have been around by 6 Aug 1804 (assuming she was not Hannah Clinch/Taylor Merritt).
Wilson Taylor, Sr. -- (from a posting online) Feb Court 1791 Nash Co NC Motion granted to Wilson Taylor on estate of his deced Wife, Sarah, who was daughter of little Edward Moore deced and is appd guardian to her 6 children (to wit):
Kinchen,
Eliza

Ford Taylor.

If the above were listed in birth order, then, based up Ford Taylor’s birth: Kinchen Taylor (born before 1781); Eliza Taylor (born before 1782); Wilson Taylor (born before 1783); Edward Taylor (born before 1784); Sarah Taylor (born before 1785); Ford Taylor (born before Oct 1785; see William Ford "Buck" Taylor, below).
Wilson Taylor, Sr. -- (Nash Co NC) On August 5 1806, by order of May court, John Williams, Etheldred Exum, Elias Bryan, Green Lewis and Michael George divided the estate of Horatio G. Clinch of 2,043.18.9 pounds into 4 equal shares of 510.198 1/4 pounds among the children of Wilson Taylor:
(1)Hannah Merritt, wife of Benjamin Merrit,
(2) Figures Taylor,
(3) Polly Taylor, and
(4) Lynch Taylor.
All of the above were probably born 1785-1806 (Horatio G. Clinch was the son of Edward Clinch and Milley Taylor) (entry from Judy Moore Welch, found in Edgecombe Co NC estate records).

My wife's great-great grandmother was Elizabeth POPE. She married Hillery R. CAISON in Sampson County on 7 Dec 1865.
My mother is a Durham County POPE. My POPE line started out in Edgecombe County where my Josiah POPE died in 1805. It is possible that some of his descendants migrated south to Sampson County. My REEVES line was in Granville County before 1751 before moving to Orange County.
Descendants of Josiah POPE Sr. - 19 Aug 2000
