Notes

Note N16From the Monroe County Genealogy message board, June 6, 2001:

"In his wonderful history of Monroe County, Owen Morton has incorrectly listed the descendants of Knotliff Taylor and this mistake has been often repeated. Morton was a historian, not a genealogist and he even notes in his book that the biographies were solicited by requests printed in the Monroe Watchman and were printed as submitted. As this initial printing was over one hundred years after the death of Knotliff, it is not unusual to have errors, but the Monroe County records are rather clear.

Knotliff's will lists his wife, Susannah and his children (none of which are the ones Morton attributes to Knotliff). This will has been generously provided to the Monroe County Roots Website by Melinda Jacquier and I won't detail again here, but do want to note that marriage records for some of those children (after the death of Knotliff), list the consenting parent as Susannah. Nancy Taylor's mother also consented to her marriage to Isaac Milburn and her name was Polly Taylor.

John and Mary "Polly" Taylor also lived on the Greenbrier River in Monroe County and John is listed in the same 1797 Tax List, with Nimrod, Knotliff, James and Adam. John died before April 7, 1809, when his estate was appraised for settlement (Monroe Will Book 1A). His widow, Mary is the administrator and the next year appears in the 1810 Monroe County census, age 45+ with two sons still at home. Mary Taylor's estate was filed for settlement in the September 1824 term of the Monroe County Court, so she died sometime prior to that date.

Isaac Milburn purchased estate rights from two of John Taylor's heirs, on December 7, 1820. One was Robert Taylor and his wife Mary and he is identified as the son of John. The other was a child's part of the estate, held by Samuel Wright and his wife Jane, although he is not identified by connection to the deceased.

After the death of Mary, Isaac Milburn also purchased the "yet undivided Greenbrier River property of John Taylor." from the remaining heirs on November 21, 1831. They are:

Samuel and Elizabeth Gwinn,

Joseph and Polly (Mary) Gwinn,

William and Florence Taylor of Tippecanoe County, Indiana,

William and Anna Johnson,

Matthew and Elizabeth Taylor of Butler County, Ohio,

John and Polly Taylor,

Barnabus Curry of Logan County, Virginia (Though not identified, Barnabus was the husband of Sarah Taylor, who was deceased.)

I apologize for this rather lengthy message, but I have wanted to clear this misconception for so long and this seemed a perfect format to begin. I appreciate any additional information of the family of John and Mary "Polly" Taylor."
