  Narrative

Note coincidental marriage record about where and when James Taylor and Nancy married -
North Carolina, Marriage Bonds, 1741-1868 about James Taylor
Name: James Taylor
Spouse: Nancy White
Bond Date: 1 Oct 1796
Bond #: 000029938
Level Info: North Carolina Marriage Bonds, 1741-1868
County: Craven
Bondsman: Elisha Beasley
Witness: S Chapman, Clerk of Court
=> unfortunately, family researcher Faye Reynolds proved this was a different couple that went to Rutherford Co, TN.

Another possible match is James Taylor and Nancy Dotson (Dodson) m. 7 Jan 1796 Cabarrus Co, NC.
- 1 year before my James and Nancy Taylor's eldest was born.
- These Taylors from Ireland.
- William Taylor arrives from Ireland in 1767! "12 years before the Revolution".
- Dotson's lived in early northwest Jackson Co, AL like the Taylor's
- curious reference to John Taylor who married Elizabeth Hall in 1802?, but James' son John married Elizabeth Hall in 1831.
- a Peter Taylor in 1810 census Cabarrus Co, NC
- Dotson's of Cabarrus Co, NC came from Chester Co, PA.

James Taylor (near a Joseph Taylor) on 1812 Tax Roll of Franklin Co, TN -
http://www.tngenweb.org/franklin/frantax.htm
This is probably James Taylor from Greene Co, TN who married Hannah Isbell.

This is very likely our James because of possible brothers living in Pulaski Co, KY. A James Taylor sold his land to John Jackson in Pulaski in Nov 1819, "on the waters of Sinking Valley..." Both James and Nancy Taylor signed. The land was bought in March 1818 from Thomas Ping "assignee of William Dotson". ( I couldn't find a connection to Nancy Dotson of Cabarrus Co, NC )

Possible home in Aug 7, 1820: Franklin Co, TN (only some matching children's ages and some missing; probably NOT him)
2m10-15, m16-25, m>45, 2f<10, 2f10-15, f26-44
Instead, he had probably already moved to Jackson Co, AL in 1819/1820, but the AL federal census of 1820 has been lost.

1829: "brother JAMES TAYLOR SR. Dismissed by Letter" from Mud Creek Primitive Baptist Church, Jackson Co, AL
"JAMES TAYLOR J[R]. Dismissed by letter 1843"
as of 1829, also "Nancy Taylor"

home in 1830: Jackson Co, AL
The census for Jackson County is split by "Range Lines". I assume all those in the area denoted by "West of 4th Range Line" [area where James Hall lived - NW Jackson County] could have associated with each other. This area comprises pages 89-146 of the Census. Unfortunately, James Taylor, Sr. lives East of the 4th Line Range, along with Francis
James Taylor : pg45 m5-9, 1m20-29, 1m60-69, 1f5-9, 2f10-14, 1f15-19, 1f40-49
Francis Taylor : pg15 m<5, m20-29, f<5, f10-14, f<20
John Taylor : pg15 m<5, 2m5-9, 1m30-39, f<5, f20-29 (next door to Francis)
Thomas Taylor: pg134 2m<5, 2m5-9, 1m30-39, 1f<5, 1f20-29
Jesse Taylor : pg43 m5-9, m20-29, f<5, f20-29
John Taylor : pg43 2m<5, m5-9, m20-29, f<5, f5-9, f20-29 (near Jesse)
note: neither of these John's matches our John Taylor's family. also looks like one of his son's families living in James hh.

Jun 15, 1831: first land patents granted in Jackson Co, AL, includes a James Taylor:
W½SW 35/ 2-S 6-E No Huntsville AL Jackson

(note Jesse Taylor nearby) This is ~25 miles from the Hall's!

1840 Census: (James Hall pg 101)
James pg105: 1m70-80 , 1f50-60, 1f10-15, 1f15-20
