I have been looking for many years to find out information on Columbus Taylor. I know that he was born 1848 in Allen co, Ky and was the son of William and Matilda Wright Taylor. He married Martha Wadkins and had one son named William Samuel Taylor in 1871. There is no record that I have found as to when he died or his wife either. I cannot find them in the 1880 census but their son William is living with his grandparents. There is a newspaper article in Mt. Ariel that says Columbus Taylor made a large amount of sorghum in 1885 so I assume he was still living. If anyone has any info I would so appreciate your help and if I can share any info I would be glad to....thanks
