The paternal grandparents of Lewis O. Taylor were Robert and Agnes (Templeton) Taylor. Robert Taylor was born in South Carolina and his wife was a native of that state also. Robert Taylor was a man of military distinction. He fought in the British and Indian wars, and was a hero of many battles. It was the "irony of fate" that he should live through those perilous experiences to later be killed by a runaway team of horses. His widow later moved to Indiana with her family. The maternal grandparents of Lewis O. Taylor also came to Indiana; in all probability they came here with Robert Taylor's widow and family. They settled in Franklin County and engaged in farming.
