According to the Marion & Clinton History, Wm Taylor was one of the first settlers in Brookside (Clinton Co) around 1813. He had 3 sons, John, James Wiley, Preston and at least one stepdaughter, Elizabeth (she later married an Anderson. Preston Taylor is my ggg father. He married Jane Welch. Pate and Faulkner are allied families. The Taylors moved in and out of Washington and Marion Counties (found by census). Would love to find more about this family. Any help greatly appreciated.
