  Father	Samuel Taylor,   b. 1775, Russell County, Virginia, USA ,   d. 1875  (Age 100 years)
  Mother	Phoebe Sword,   d. Yes, date unknown
  Notes	Joyce Mertens: I am sure that William is her brother. I have her parents as Samuel Taylor & Phoebe Sword and Samuel Taylor and Phoebe Nancy Sword and I just have him as Samuel Taylor. I have a copy of a letter to William Taylor about William Cromwell's death saying that his father is close to death.. Looks like William Cromwell died in 1874 which is about the time of the will. Nimrod Taylor is suppose to be another brother but he isn't mentioned in the will. I also have Elijah Taylor that md Lydia Bishop as the s/o of Samuel Taylor. I do know there are two different Taylor families and it is easy to confuse them. When William and Mahala have a son named Samuel Litburn Taylor you think there is a connection.

Taylor Dear Sir; I write you now to let you know that Capt Wm Cromwell is no more. He died on Sabbath morning last the 12th Inst. I was to see him on Friday before, he seemed to be perfectly sensible, and talked a great deal about your wife and you-- and said if he lived until fall, he wanted you to come and take him home with you-- but "alas" he has paid the debt we all owe-- He made provision for having tombstones put on his and Aunt Jannie's graves. Your father is very ill--not expected to live long Respectfully yours etc A. C. Ferguson [Belfast Mills is in Russell County near the Smyth and Washington Counties line. . .bb]
