Traci: Would you see if there is any record in the 1740s to 1757s Edgeombe Court Minutes on a marriage between William Taylor (known as William Taylor of Beach Run as there were several William Taylors at that time in that county) and a Mary. Some say he married Mary Battle, d/o William Battle and Sarah Hunter. However, others have info that this Mary Battle married a Robbins. We know that our William Taylor's wife was Mary, named in his will dated 1783 and proved Aug. 7th, 1786; witnessed by Jethro Battle and Elisha Battle; Ex. Reuben Taylor. Would like to know Mary's maiden name. I have two possible marriage dates: 1740 and 1746. You don't need to look after 1757 because Francie has already checked those records that she transcribed.
