TAYLOR, ALEXANDER, FORESTER



Edward TAYLOR, farmer, was born October, 1821, in Lincoln County, and is

one of a family of seven children born to William and Priscilla (ALEXANDER)

TAYLOR.  The father was born in Virginia in 1790 and received his education

in the neighboring schools.  He was a mechanic and farmer by occupation and

immigrated to Tennessee, with his parents, when but a small boy.  He was

married about 1819, and in 1842 purchased 150 acres where Edward now

resides.  He died in 1858, and Mrs. Taylor several years previous.  Our

subject received a fair education, and after reaching his majority began

farming his father's place.  December, 1849, he was married to Eliza

FORESTER, by whom he had one child, N. Alexander, who is now at home.  He

is a young man of exemplary habits, industrious and honest.  After marriage

our subject continued to farm for his father for several years, and at last

purchased his father's fine tract, which now consists of 160 acres.

December, 1883, Mr. TAYLOR had the misfortune to lose his wife.  Mr. TAYLOR

is a Democrat in politics and is strenuously opposed to monopolies and is

an ardent friend to all laboring men.
