The Taylors of South Carolina
My genealogy search started over ten years ago. I have researched many branches of my line and my husband's but the one that I am focused on is the family of John Thomas Taylor of South Carolina, my husband's great-great grandfather.
John Thomas and his wife, Julia Nichols, left South Carolina after 1870 and headed to Arkansas via Cleburne County, Alabama. I have much on our direct line from 1870 until the present, however, the past of John Thomas Taylor has eluded me for years. I look forward to connecting with other Taylor researchers in an effort to find the missing links.

Sorry it took me so long to reply. Yes, I'm having great trouble locating records due to the Civil War. I've discovered that William Franklin Taylor's mother was Mary W. Michael Taylor Vessel, and that she was in Alabama in 1880, listed as head of household. I still haven't found his father or any connection to your John Thomas and Julia Nichols.

They could be. Are you having the same problems I am having locating records prior to 1870? SO many SC records were lost during the Civil War

I am trying to locate the ancestors of William Franklin Taylor, 1870-1952, whose family resided in South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee and/or Texas. I know his mother's name was Mary, and that when she remarried (between 1880-1882) after his father's death, her last name was Vessel. I've also been told that William Franklin Taylor, known as Frank, was a Jr., and that he was part Cherokee. Do you think my Taylors are any relation to yours?
