There are some Taylors buried in Courtney Cemetery,(The Taylor Lot).Perry C. Taylor 1867-1945, and wife Mollie A Taylor 1871-1929. Lawrence Alex Taylor 1865-1906 and wife Nora Lee Stepherson Taylor, my grandfather's sister, and their daughter Rhobia Carolyn Taylor. I also found in Austin Colony Pioneers' where John B. Taylor married Susan M. Burleson on 30 May 1860. I have wondered if there is a connection between John B. and the other two Taylor men, Perry C. and Lawrence Alex, who I believe are brothers, but no proof yet.
