Hello, Madison County Friends, Was wondering if anyone has seen the Hancock Taylor Historical Highway Marker, #1685 lately? A friend of mine, Gary Estes of Irvine, KY was in the general area the other day and told me he did NOT see it. I'm worried. Is this marker still standing? Could someone living in the Richmond, KY area please let me know by E-mail or by phone (304) 562-4412, if they have seen it recently? Thank you! Also, I am looking to hear from anyone who has seen or knows exactly where Hancock Taylor's (Uncle to President Zachary Taylor & the first white man to ever be buried in Kentucky) grave is--in general terms, 7/10 of one mile east of the highway marker on Taylor's Fork of Silver Creek. Info on this KY Historical Highway Marker follows: Grave of Hancock Taylor (Marker Number: 1685) County: Madison Location: Approx. 1 mi. W. of Richmond, KY 52 Description: On Taylor's fork of Silver Creek, .7 mi. east, is burial place of Hancock Taylor. This pioneer was at Falls of Ohio in 1769 enroute to New Orleans and surveying in Ky. by 1773. A deputy surveyor under Wm. Preston, he was near mouth of Ky. River when shot by Indians in July 1774. Taylor rejoined party, and these companions brought him just south of Richmond, where he died. Sincerely, Doug Park Hurricane, WV
