I am a seventh generation decendant of Nimrod Taylor, Sr. Do you have information on his parents? I was hoping to trace my family back a few more generations. Thanks, Mike
I am a direct descendant of Nimrod Taylor Sr. My father and I have been searching for the Carter Cemetery he is buried in. So far we’ve been to about 5 with no luck. How do you get to the Carter Cemetery he is in?
I can help you David, it is just off State Route 649 in Rye Cove at Joseph Carter Cemetery and the correct GPS is N 36.72860 W -82.69762 and that is under the flag pole. That is Rye Cove, Scott County, Virginia. Hope that helps. …Wayne

Sue
I just looked at Nimrods pension papers and it said that Nimrod jr. wife was name Judith last name unknown in 1855.
Sue
Hey Sue, I’ve got a packet of the descendants of Nimrod Taylor Sr. compiled in 1960 and revised in 1976. According to the packet Nimrod Jr. was married to Judith Stewart. Do you know if there is a possiblity of Amanda being in Nimrod’s line?
My wife mary katherine taylor is a desendant of Nimrod taylor. He father Henry vornard his father Benijman-his father James his father Nimrod jr. would like any info on this family.
Nimrod Sr. is my gggg-grandfather. I have extensive handwritten & typed documentation from my grandmother’s (Mary Elizabeth Patten Taylor) nephew Ewing Taylor – dated 1958. My father Marion Max who’s dad was Willard Conley, who’s dad was William P, who’s dad was Nimrod Jr & Judy Stewart, to Nimrod Sr. I’m happy to scan and send to anyone interested. Does anyone have the family tree going back to Carlisle England?
Hello Kris,
Nimrod Sr is my GGGGGGrandfather I would love to see the documentation you have for him. If you would please contact me using my email address I would be delighted to share any information that I have that would be of use to you.
Thanks,
Jerrie
Hello!
I would be happy to scan and send to you what I have. Give me a couple of weeks as my schedule is quite full right now.

Hello Jerrie,
Wayne recommended I contact you. My ggg grandfather is William P Taylor from Virginia. I am planning a trip to Scotts County this fall. I understand you have been there. What and where do you recommend I go for information on our family tree. I would also like to visit some cemetary sites of ancesters of the Taylors. Thank you for any info you can share.
Thank you again,
Carol
Nimrod Sr. is my gggg-grandfather also and I also come from William P.’s daughter Nancy Allen Taylor who married Ambrose Tyler and moved to Florida about 1912 after Ambrose died in Eolia KY. Our family was far away out of the loop for so long and I would surely like you to contact me so I could get a copy of your scans so we can find our place again.
My Grandfathers Grandfather was Andrew J Taylor from Virgina. His father I believe was William P Taylor. I am trying to put the peaces together. The only thing my Grandfather told me about his family is that his father was the 7th son of the 7th son and that the had a plantation that was destroyed during the civil war. If you can help me that would be great. I am planning a trip this fall to Scotts county Virgina and would like to know where to look for information. Thank you so much,
Carol Ricca
Do you have a list of William P Taylors children? I am hoping he is my GGG Grandfather as well. I plan a trip to Scotts County Virginia this fall and plan to research all that I can on the Taylors.
Carol,
You can see that list of the children of William P. Taylor online at this web site:
http://www.yeahpot.com/taylor/williamp.html
One of his sons was Andrew Jackson Taylor …..I am quite sure you are kin to Jerrie Taylor-Kelly through him, both of you. (you can reply to her post up above in this forum and contact her) She visited Scott County last fall and knows a lot about things in the family and could help you find where yours fit in I am sure. Tell her Wayne told you to write to her.
Wayne
Carol, The grave of William P. Taylor and some of his family can be found by clicking on the cemetery name on his gravemarker web page at:
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=56998662
They have a road map there showing the exact location in Scott County, with links to some of his children. I don’t know if Jerrie ever found the grave of Andrew Jackson Taylor or not. Nimrod Taylor Sr. is in a different cemetery, named Joseph Carter Cemetery in the same general area of the county, but harder to find. Video clips of the Sept. 19, 2010 SAR dedication ceremony there at his grave were placed on YouTube today in 4 parts at: http://www.youtube.com/user/yockel99
Hi Kris, Please send any info you have to Caminito07@tampabay.com
Hi Kris,
This is Carrie, we met years ago down in the LA area. I am Sherry’s daugter, and Bill Killian’s neice. I live in the Portland area now, but anyway, I would LOVE to see extensive handwritten/typed documentation. Maybe we can get together and compile our stuff? Your mom mentioned to me that you were into the family tree!
Hope to hear from you soon, Carrie
Nimrod was my great ,great, great, great , grandfather. His daughter Polly married Henery P Davidson . I have the copy of the Davidson family line.
My name is John Strong, Howdy yall
Howdy Kris and John! Ole Nimrod has his fair share of kin on down the line, me included.
Ewing Taylor’s research is pretty well known in the Taylor circles, I think I have a copy of it somewhere too, if it’s not on a crashed hard drive.
I am tracking down my wife’s MILLER line from KY. According to Ancestry.com Her 4G-Grandfather Adam Miller (B. 1788 VA D. 1877 KY) supposedly married a Nancy Taylor (B. 1780 VA, D. 1850 KY) and her father/mother are supposedly Nimrod Taylor & Mary Lutz.
I got kinda excited seeing that Nimrod had Revolutionary War ties and tried to find out more about him via Google. Another family tree lineage (ancestors of Andrew Byron Brodnax) said that Nancy was married to a Charles Burr Carter.
Can anyone add clarification to this please?
If she is related to Nimrod & Mary – how far back has someone gotten?
Adam Miller was my ggg grandfather and I have information that may be useful – Mo Miller
Mo,
Would love to know what you have regarding Adam Miller and Nancy taylor (and her association with Cahles Carter too)
Please email me at wxjedi@gmail.com
thanks

Nimrod Taylor was one of my grandfathers. I have been working on geneology records of the Taylors. Thank you for sharing this information with me.

Very interesting. Nimrod Jr. is my GGGGGGG-grandfather. Although down the line, my GGGGG-grandfather changed his name to Jackson but we’re not sure why? We heard something about him murdering someone, but if anyone happens to know, I’d love to hear it. His name was Monroe Taylor, changed to Joseph Jackson.
Anyway, my question is regarding Nimrod SR., what were his parents names? I have Nimrod Jr’s parents as Mary Lotz (or Lutz) and Nimrod Taylor, wife as Judith Stewart. Thanks!
Holly, regarding your ancestor Monroe Taylor, who do you have for his parents?
The Nimrod Taylor whos headstone is pictured here is the Nimrod Taylor who was married to Mary Lotz (or Lutz). He was the father of Nimrod who married Judith Stewart. Nimrod Jr. and Judith had a son named James Andrew Taylor who married Katherine Stewart, they had, among other sons named Monroe and Nimrod who married Dorton women (so many Taylor and Stewarts and Dortons… it gets really confusing!)
I have Nimrod Taylor and Judith Stewart as Monroe Taylor (or Joseph Jackson)’s parents, but I can’t find who Nimrod SR’s parents were. Yes, it does get confusing!
There has been a lot of discussion regarding Nimrod Sr. parents. I know I have some of that info somewhere and when I get time I will look to see what I have.
Ok, sounds good. Thank you!
I would also like information on Nimrod Taylor Sr.’s parents. Does anyone know if the Taylors came from England and When.
Thank you,
