Good evening ma’am,
I am very interested in the Taylor’s, they are my family. I am a Taylor. I attended a family function where I met a few of them. They are from Nash county, then went on to Wilson, Raleigh, and all over.
I was told the Taylor’s in those places are the same family, they haven’t spoken to each other in over 30 years. Ike Taylor, use to play for Pittsburgh Steelers is also from the area, my second cousin.
Thank you so much for all you do…
Avery Taylor
Thanks, Avery. Are you descended from one of Abi Taylor’s children? There actually are/were several unrelated African-American Taylor families in Wilson County and several have deeper roots in Nash.
Beautiful picture. Thanks for posting it.
