TAYLOR, POSTON, STYLES, McCLURE



Young A. TAYLOR is a son of Edmund and Jane (POSTON) TAYLOR, and was born

in Lincoln County, Tenn.,  in 1826.  His early schooling did not exceed

four months.  When the war broke out between the North and South he

enlisted in Company A, Forty-four Tennessee Infantry, and was in the

battles of Murfreesboro, Chickamauga, and Petersburg.   He was wounded at

Horse Shoe Bend, and was obliged to give up further service.  He resumed

farming on his farm of 126 acres, which he had purchased before the war,

and which he has since increased to 308 acres.  When twenty-three years old

he was married to Elizabeth STYLES, who died in 1859, leaving four

children:  Mary A., Sarah, Francis, and James.  In March, 1861, Mr. TAYLOR

wedded Martha McCLURE, by whom he had ten children, nine now living:

Temple C., Young A., William F., Zylphia E., John H., Ida B., Cora F.,

Ardella and Andy W.  Our subject's parents were born in Virginia and North

Carolina, respectively, and were married in the latter State.  The father

was a farmer, and died a few years previous to the war.  The mother died in

1874.
