My great great grandfather was born in STEWART COUNTY, TN. in 1832. His name was THOMAS JEFFERSON TAYLOR, SR. I don' t know who is parents were. All I really know is that his parents were from NC and were farmers there. The other thing I know is that he has either an uncle named WILLIAM TAYLOR or possible a nephew or maybe a brother named WILLIAM. The next time he shows up is in MASSAC CO. IILLINOIS living in the town of BROOKPORT. Cathy Psalms 108:1-4 "My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast! I will sing and make melody! Awake, O my soul! Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awake the dawn! I will give thanks to the thee, O Lord, among the peoples, I will sing praises to thee among the nations. For they steadfast love is great above the heavens, thy faithfulness reaches to the clouds."(RSV)
