Taylor. I did not find a listing in the Cemetery book for a James W. Taylor death date of 1838. He may be buried in an unmarked grave like hundreds of others are. In the early years, that was normal. Sometimes a rock marked the spot and over the years the rock got moved about. The court records may not be your line but they may be related. If you wish to order copies of any of the records listed, email Jo Stakely at the Madisonville Library. She will charge a fee to make copies.
