State Land Grants in the period 1728-1800 were at hand, as were copies of the wills of the father and the grandfather of Moses Taylor, Sr. It was also established that both these ancestors had come from MD to NC. Research in the Hall of Records at Annapolis and in the MD Historical Society Library at Baltimore confirmed this; and also revealed that the great-grandfather of Moses Taylor Sr was Abraham Taylor, Sr (ca.1661-1719). From the above information, it was determined that Robert Taylor, the son of Abraham Jr. and Dinah White, was the father of Moses Taylor, Sr. *** Moses Tyalor served as a private in the Revolutionary War in Captain Timberlakes Company of Foot, in the Regiment of Albermarie Guards, commanded by Colonel Francis Taylor, also known as Taylor's Virginia Regiment (ref: pg 668 DAR Partriot Index 1966; Library of Congress #67-27776; pg. 348 DAR Patriot Index. 1980)2 *** Taylor's Trails http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gettle/tlrstrls.html | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
