Hi Folks, Here's another pointer to Benjamin Taylor. Hezekiah Vickery served with Taylor during the Revolutionary War. He presented himself as witness to that effect, stating that he served with Taylor from 1780 through 1783. He also states that he knew Taylor at the battles of Camden, Guilford Courthouse, and Salisbury. Vickery also states that he had known Taylor ever since their service together. Now, look below at this 1820 census record listing for Screven County. Right there residing by 'Hezekeah Vickrey' is John Taylor. And one of the sons of Benjamin Taylor was John Taylor. If anyone can properly identify this particular John Taylor, then we may be able to link up some of these confusing early Taylors of Screven County to this Benjamin Taylor who came from Edgecombe County, North Carolina. Also, Benjamin Taylor and Willis Taylor are included on this census. There also a young man (aged 16 to 26) co-resident with Benjamin and that just might have been his other son William. I hope that some of this helps. Dale E.

Hi Dale It's interesting you mentioned immigration to Screven from Edgecomb County NC.? I never was able to pin down my ancestor, Turner Braswell, whom we discussed before.? However, I did find a marriage of a Braswell to a Turner lady that would have been the right time frame in Edgecomb County.? Some day I'll go to Edgecombe County and see what's there in the libraries.? Happy New Year Judy Rozzell -----Original Message----- From: Dale E.
