TAYLOR, SHELTON, HILL



Thomas TAYLOR, son of James and grandson of Edmund TAYLOR, was born in

Lincoln County, Tenn., in 1824.  His father and grandfather were

Virginians.  The former married Jensie SHELTON in Virginia, and became the

father of eleven children, four now living.  He has always made farming his

occupation, and at an early day came to Tennessee and settled among the

canebrakes, where he afterward became the owner of 400 acres of land.  He

died in 1844, after a well-spent life.  The mother died in 1852.  Thomas

received very meager educational advantages.  November 15, 1853, he married

Mary, daughter of Hillery H. and Dovey HILL, and nine children are the

results of their union:  James H., Young A., Elizabeth J., John F., Robert

J., Jennie L. and Susan F.  Mr. TAYLOR farmed his father's place until both

parents' deaths, and in 1861 purchased sixty-nine acres of land, which, by

the aid of his wife and his own energy and economy, he has increased to 800

acres. During the late war he served gallantly in Company B, Forty-fourth

Tennessee Regiment, C.S.A.  He has been a life long Democrat.
