I am trying to find out anything I can about my ancestor, Isaac TAYLOR. Please let me know if you might have any leads for me. From census information, marriage records, and some a Greene County, Illinois history book, I have mapped out his family as shown below my signature line. A timeline of traceable events in his life is shown immediately below. Around 1790: (though not shown in a census), he was in South Carolina as several of his children were born there 1800: He is in the Chester Co., SC census on page 83 as a 25-44 year old (b. 1755-1774). The only other TAYLOR in Chester County in the 1800 census is an older Isaac TAYLOR, listed on page 75. Could this be a relative or even his father? 1803: His children from here on are born in KY, indicating he moved there circa 1802. 1810: Have not found him in a census, yet. 1815 & 1816: Two of his daughters are married in Hopkins County, KY. c1817: He moves to Madison Co., IL, near present-day Rockbridge, Greene County, IL 1830: He is found in the Greene County, IL census as being in his 70s (b. 1755-1760). 1840: He is found in the Greene County, IL census as being in his 80s. 1850: He is NOT found in the Greene County, IL census. Interim death assumed. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you, Kevin Rankin c3rankin@msn.com =================================== ISAAC TAYLOR was born between 1755 and 1760.
