I have been trying for years to separate 4 or 5 different men and their families of that name. Perhaps you are aware of the several that were in the vicinity of western PA before and just after the Rev War. If not, perhaps you will bear with me while I briefly describe a few of the things about the ones I know about. 1- One, in eastern Wash Co., was the son of Peter Taylor who apparently came with his family into the area, as I recall, after the Rev War. Some lady went into the DAR on that family. This family seems to have been connected with the Robison or Robinson family. 2 - One was in the area before the Rev War and appears in the early records of the original early Ohio Co. , VA, and the short- lived Yohogania Co. I suspect he was killed by the Indians, as there is a Catherine Taylor in the 1800 census who I suspect was his wife, since she was living in the same area as had he. He seems to have been a Virginian, and may relate to the Isaac Taylor early in the Shenandoah Valley, though I have not found any support for that. Also he may have been the one who fought at the Battle of Point Pleasant, WVA. I do not know if he is the Isaac Taylor who sold a big number of spinning wheels or not, but one Isaac Taylor is in the histories as doing that.. Is he yours? 3 - One appears to be of the Edward Taylor family of Hunterdon, NJ, who with brother Freegift and Edward, and maybe Richard, were in Allegheny Co., PA, after the Rev War where they had served. He married Mercy or Marcy Pierce and had land in Ohio Co, VA before moving into Ohio state. He appears to the one - if not the one who I think is my ancestor - who was of the Short Creek Methodist Episcopal Church. For a long time I thought he might be "mine", since a daughter of "my" Isaac was married by the preacher of that church. 4 - Then there was just east from Allegheny Co. in Westmoreland, one Isaac T. who I know nothing about, except he seems to have been a late comer to the area. 5 - Then there is the one I think IS my ancestor who, from all I can gather, came from Luzerne Co., PA, about 1800 with the Rathbone family. He and they were millers and millwrights, as was Isaac's sons. A daughter, Deborah Taylor married, by the preacher of the Short Creek Church, Edmund Rathbone in Ohio Co., Va, and a son, Stephen Taylor married a sister of Edmund. But my ancestor, the third son Cornelius Taylor, went down to Va at a young age where he married Mary Fail. I suspect there were two other sons - Isaac Jr. and Richard. But I am not sure what happened to him in the early 1800s. Again, I THINK he was the Isaac who was in Wash Co., Ohio state after 1800, as were the Rathbones and the Stephen Taylors, and a Richard Taylor. All, again, millers. Yours is the first I have seen about an Isaac Sr. and Jr. going from Wash Co. down first to Ky and then to MS. I recall seeing something of an Isaac T acquiring land down there but never connected him with PA. The families usually traveled together with relatives. Do you know of any other families who traveled with your Taylors? Also, I am a great believer that certain families of the same profession intermarried - the "science" of building mills that operated for a long time was one of these professions. Do you know in what profession your Isaac was? Sure hope we can start an interchange. Sincerely, Ed T of PGH. ----------------- > Hi Monica, > I read your post with great interest.
