Jim- The Lake, Griffing and Stevenson Atlas of 1877- Sharptown Plate shows numerous Taylors living south of Sharptown, including a "Jno B. Taylor" living on road 367, SE of Riverton, a "J. B. Taylor" living a little NW of Jno., on an unnumbered road, another "Jno. B Taylor" with two structures, one of which is on road 249, and finally, there are 3 structures in Riverton proper labeled with "J. B. Taylor". In addition, the notes on the plate include the following: Under "Sharptown Business References." John B. Taylor And Son, Dealers in Dry Goods, Groceries, Notions and general Merchandise, Riverton, Wicomico Co., Md." and "J. B. & J. E. Taylor, Dealers in Dry Goods, Groceries, Boots, Shoes and general Merchandise, at Walnut Landing, Dorchester Co., Md., P. O., Riverton." Under "Barren Creek Business References." "Thomas B. Taylor, Dealer in Dry Goods, Groceries and all Kinds of Goods usually kept in a Country Store." I hope one of these is the one you are looking for. Contrary to another respondent's comment, I do not see any Taylors in the Districts (49, 49 1/2, 50, 51, & 137) of Little Creek Hundred in Beers 1868 Atlas of Delaware, that lie closest to the MD-DE line.
