Notes for John TAYLOR
John Taylor and his wife Catherine Pendleton settled at Macpelah about 1754. (approximately 2 miles south of Townsville, Vance Co., NC, on the West side of NC 39. This is the old plantation of the Taylor's. It is still in the Taylor family ( May 2000) "though not as large a property holding now as it was then." Rives Manning writes, " I have been to "Macpelah" and have seen the cemetery. Many of the graves are not marked but some are. I made a diagram of the cemetery and then obtained a copy of a diagram done in 1838 by Memucan Hunt. Many of the ones he listed are not on my list, either because the stones have been destroyed/knocked down or there were no stones. Some on his list probably came from Bible references, etc., not from stones.
John had Patriotic Service from North Carolina during the Revolutionary War.
