There is some Milton history, written by the late Geni Cory, in Prattville, Alabama, at the historical society. The monuments actually mark the spots where William L. Taylor and his wife Sarah and their son Thos. J. were buried in the 1860's and 1870's, along with a son of Thomas's, Preston Taylor, who accidentally shot himself in the 1880s. The property belonged for many years to the Reed family (and might still) and is on Little Mulberry Creek. The Reeds had been told by generations of Taylors that their family was buried there, although no markers remained after the flooding of Milton and surrounding area about 1886. Because Thomas' J. Taylor's widow (Emma Bates Taylor) had several children who died young, it was assumed by Miss Cory that maybe some Bateses were buried there also, although there is no proof. A monument was dedicated in May 1980 (see Selma Times Journal of 2 May 1980), and then a historical marker was placed in 1982 (see Montgomery Advertiser Journal, 9 May 1982). Elihu Bates and Elizaeth Parr Bates, along with their daughter Emma Bates Taylor Bishop, who died in the 1920s, and some others, are buried at Harmony Cemetery; the Bateses attended Harmony Church, long gone. Hope this helps. I was involved in a lot of this in the 1970s and 1980s, visiting the site, etc. Are you a descendant of Emma Bates Taylor Bishop? Joe Hammer
