I am looking for TAYLOR family connections in Orange County, NC. Thomas TAYLOR born 1748 married Martha LNU abt 1770. She was born 1749. First land grant to Thomas Taylor in Granville Co., NC shows he entered that grant 15 Oct 1778. It was granted 3 Sept 1779. In 1784, Thomas sold a parcel of their land in Orange Co., NC to William Shepherd. In Mar 1785, he sold another portion to James Stockard. On 20 July 1785, Thomas and Martha sold 188 1/2 acres on the Eno River to William Shepherd. About this time, court records show that Thomas moved from the County of Orange. His parents could be James and Frances Taylor who arrived in Orange Co., NC in 1748 from Chester Co., PA. James Taylor was a Quaker. James had a brother, Robert Taylor who also moved to Orange Co. My Thomas and Martha moved out of Orange Co., NC in August of 1785. They had ten children, six of whom were born in Orange Co., NC. The rest were born in Davidson Co., TN where they settled, lived, died and are buried. Thanks for any help.
