Henry Taylor through his son William and his son Burrell Taylor. If you can help me out with any of that, please email! ~~~~~~~~~~ Hey Kathy I can help you a little with that line. Henry Taylor, RS is my direct ancestor too. I descend from his youngest son James Taylor b 1796. Please let me know what it is that you want help with. Here are my notes for Henry: Henry Taylor, Revolutionary War ancestor of most of the Taylor family of Appling and Bacon counties, was born about 1750 in St. George Parish, Georgia, a son of William Taylor, a Colonial settler there. His wife, Mary (maiden name unknown), was born in this state about 1755. Henry Taylor served in the Georgia Line in the Revolutionary War as a private. He was granted 287 1/2 acres of bounty-land by the State of Georgia in 1785. The land laid in Washington County. At the commencement of the Revolution Henry Taylor's family refugeed to South Carolina where they lived in the Barnwell District for a few years, then returning to Burke County. After granting the bounty-land, Henry Taylor moved with his family to Washington County and lived there until he was cut into Montgomery County in its creation in 1796 out of Washington County. He deeded his bounty-land to his son, John Taylor, who sold it Dec. 28, 1798, to John Jones; and he (Henry) granted other lands from the State and lived on same until his death about 1820. He participated in the first Georgia land lottery in 1805, and drew a lot of land in Wilkinson county. The children above listed of Henry Taylor moved to Appling County after it was opened up to settlers in 1819, William Taylor being the first to move there in 1819, followed a few years later by his brothers, Hezekiah, John, Isaiah and Henry, Jr., and brother-in-law, John R. Stone by 1830. Authority for war service: Rev. Geo. G. Smith's "The Story of Georgia" in listing Georgia Revolutionary Soldiers, states Henry Taylor was a private in the Georgia Line. Knight's "Georgia's Roster of the Revolution" shows he was granted the bounty-land referred to.
