TAYLOR, POSTON, McCLELLEN, WISENER



Temple C. TAYLOR, farmer, and a son of Edmond and Jane D. (POSTON) TAYLOR,

was born in Lincoln County February 4, 1825, and is one of ten children,

six of whom are living.  The father was born in Virginia and married in

North Carolina.  He was a farmer by occupation and owned 204 acres of land.

 His career ended a few years previous to the civil war.  Mrs. TAYLOR died

about 1874.  Our subject was reared at home and received no education worth

speaking about, having attended school only about six weeks in his life.

During the war he enlisted in Company A, Forty-fourth Tennessee Infantry,

under Capt. Styles, and was engaged in many of the principal battles.  He

then returned home after four years of honorable service.  He had purchased

a small farm previous to the war, and after his return sold it and

purchased 265 acres where he is now living.  October 9, 1878, he married

Mrs. Clemmenza L. McCLELLEN, daughter of Martin and Nancy N. WISENER.  Mr.

TAYLOR is a Democrat, and he and wife are members of the Cumberland

Presbyterian Church.  Previous to entering the army our subject made a pair

of shoes which he wore during the entire service.  Mrs. WISENER was born

July 26, 1812, and is  now living with her daughter, Mrs. TAYLOR.  Mr.

WISENER was born March 18, 1786, and died when Mrs. TAYLOR was quite small.
