Ron, My great, great grandfather, James MiltonTaylor, was born in 1823. I am seeking any information on his parents and siblings. I think he was from the Belton area because that's where he lived after his marriage. He married Eliza Ann Telford - born December 7, 1825 in Anderson District, SC. Her parents were James Telford and Artemesia Brown. James Milton Taylor and Eliza Ann Telford married around 1850 because the first child, Caroline H. Taylor, was born in 1850, followed by James Harrison Taylor, born January 23, 1852, and two more children Thomas and Mary. James Milton Taylor purchased two pieces of property in Belton in the 1850's from George R. Brown. Perhaps your Amanda Taylor is a sister to my James Milton Taylor. If you find any connection I'd appreciate hearing from you.
