    3. There was a very famous Taylor-Sutton feud in South Texas, primarily De Witt County which involved the family of Josiah Taylor. According to one researcher of the feud: Josiah Taylor b.1781 VA and d. 1830 De Witt Co. TX is buried in the Taylor-Bennett Cemetery south of Cuero TX. He married in Clark County GA Oct 1807 to Hephzibeth Luker. They appear in TX 1826 census with 8 children. Source: Fuel for a Feud (3rd revised edition) by Marjorie Burnett Hyatt, c. 1990 This family had an extremely interesting history in South TX. If it was your family, you will want to research them in depth in TX. They were related to the Hardin family that gave birth to the famous outlaw John Wesley Hardin who was their best gun in the feud. It was participation and context of the feud that John Wesley built his name as a killer. Perhaps this will clarify some of the "Josiah Taylor" identities for someone. Loretta [email protected]
