Joseph Taylor 1726-1806 Nancy 1729

Note:  There have been several attempts to connect the Taylor family with the one that is related to President (of the USA)  Zachary Taylor.  This Taylor line is not related to him.

There are Taylor's listed on the 1797 tax list for Kentucky - Joseph (my ancestor) ended up there.  Perhaps his brothers, Thomas, and John also moved to Kentucky.  The names  John, Thomas, and Joseph are listed on the taxes for that year.

Joseph Taylor

Parents Richard Taylor and Dinah (unknown surname)
Born 1726 Orange County, Virginia
Lived on Coneto Creek Property from 1760 until the time of his death
Married Nancy  (unknown/unproven surname) abt 1752
Died After 1806

Nancy (surname unknown)
NOTE: 

From Ron Taylor (Taylor Family Association) February 21, 2016

The ancestry of Joseph Taylor, father of Joseph Taylor who married Sarah Best, is not currently known.

The Taylor Family Association has spent considerable time and treasure to unravel the ancestry of Joseph Taylor. We have tested DNA for over 250 individuals with Taylor ancestry including descendants of Zachary Taylor. Many old pedigrees show Joseph connected to that lineage but DNA evidence proves absolutely that there is no relationship. We have clues that Joseph came from early Norfolk, Virginia and not Orange. Joseph's spouse was named Nancy but again no proof exists for her maiden name or her ancestry. There are several possibilities but it would be speculation to link to any one of those. We welcome new research or evidence for these families. Until that is available, we recommend everyone consider ancestry for Joseph and Nancy as un-proven.

John Taylor
Note:  in the book, Coneto Creek Taylors, it claims that John could be a son of Joseph and Nancy.  I believe common sense claims he is.  Not only did he own land on the Taylor property, his own will (which is below) was witnessed by William Best, who would have been his brother-in-law.

Joseph Taylor 1751-1819 Sarah Best 1764-1836

Joseph (2) Taylor
Note: after looking at a few SAR (Sons of American Revolution) applications online at ancestry.com that were from the 1900's, I realized Joseph needs proof of his parents.  One of the SAR applicants claimed (President) Zachary Taylor and second wife, Esther W Blackburn, are Joseph's parents.   THIS IS NOT TRUE - please read the following update.

UPDATE:  From Family Tree c/o Ron Taylor:   We (he's talking about the Taylor Organization) have extensive paper research and DNA research which proves that Joseph is not son of Zachary. This error has been perpetuated for many years and is false. His father is Joseph Taylor and mother is Nancy. Her surname is yet to be proven. Old Temple family group sheets were stamped DNS

ANOTHER UPDATE from Ron Taylor: there are two grave memorials for Joseph. One was placed by DAR (Daughters of American Revolution) and the other is the massive one that is seen here. Both have mistakes. Ron and the Taylor Association are working to document the errors on both - such as the stone for Joseph that is near Richardsville, Kentucky, shouldn't even be there. I'll post more updates as they become available.

Joseph Taylor
Born Abt 1751 Tyrrell, North Carolina
According to the book Coneto Creek Taylors, there is a common-sense lot of evidence that Joseph was not born in Orange County, Virginia, but near the headwaters of Coneho and Coneto Creek where the Taylor's had lived for many years.  Unfortunately, there is no proof to be had because during Sherman's March to the Sea, the Nanesemond county records were almost totally destroyed.

Military:  Revolutionary War 1776-1779
Note:  Served 2 years in Continental Army with Captain Blounts Company, Edgecomb, North Carolina and honorably discharged 30 Jan 1779
