born abt 1878 died as a boy about 12-13 years old and Carrie Taylor born
about 1882 and died September 24, 1974 she married William Hamptom (Hamp)
Hogg.
Tom Henry Taylor's parents were Richard Taylor and Mahalah Burton. The
census records from 1880 show William Riley Taylor in the Lowndesville area
of Abbeville County, SC and Tom Henry Taylor in the Due West area of
Abbeville County near the Level Land Community both Census records indicate
that they and their parents were born in SC as well as there spouses. I
need to find out who were William Riley Taylor's parents and Zilpha
Campbell Taylor's parents. Anybody with connections to these taylor lines
in South Carolina please help.
Thanks,
