  Narrative

Possibly "Elizabeth" from this land deed -
"9 December 1775 - Craven DB 22, p. 253 - JAMES TAYLOR and wife Elizabeth sold to Elisha BEASLEY and wife, Fearnot BEASLEY. 100 acres known by the name of the Shooting Ponds, lying & being in Craven Co on the south side of Neuse River and on the north side of Core Creek and joining the Great Glade. Wit: Brice Fonville, James Carmack and David Civill. ( Proven on oath of James Carmack, at the December Craven Inferior Court.) ". Commonly held that this is Elizabeth Beasley and that this James Taylor, s/o John Tayor and Janet Yarborough, died in 1811 Craven Co, NC.

Peter and Samuel included because they are found nearby in Census' before 1850. (In 1830, "East of the 4 Range Line, Jackson County) For instance, a Samuel Taylor b.1771-1780 and a Peter Taylor b.1781-1790 are in 1840 Jackson Co, AL.
