De La Hunts book on Perry County has Daniel Taylor as an active member of the local community. He held land in Tobin township as well as Breckinridge Township across the river from the OLD SHOEMAKER CEMETERY.
His grandson Granville Taylor in his recollections when asked where Daniel was buried said two miles from Rome under a cedar tree which was last seen in 1902. That would be when Granville last seen the grave. Daniel's daughter Elizabeth is buried in the Shoemaker cemetery too. Granville has the Taylor's as fighting in the revolution too and his reference were to the family of TAYLOR's, DeJarnette's, Mumfords and Ford's in Pittsylvania Count, Colonial Virginia.
In Pittsylvania County he first married Drusilla Rigney in 1785 & had his first children;
Nathan TAYLOR 1788–1836, Seaton TAYLOR 1789–1865, Lavina TAYLOR 1793–1839.

Daniel Taylor then was married to Nancy (1772-1842). It is said that her name was Nancy BLACK, the daughter of Samuel Black and Jane Porter. Together Nancy Black and Daniel Taylor had 11 children; Elizabeth TAYLOR 1797–1876 Thomas TAYLOR 1799–1870, Obadiah TAYLOR 1801–1858, Hiram TAYLOR 1803–1882, Mary TAYLOR 1805–1860, Lewis TAYLOR 1806–1875, Lydia TAYLOR 1807–1874, Sarah TAYLOR 1809–1850, Daniel TAYLOR Jr. 1810–1843, Lucinda TAYLOR COOPER 1811–1878, John Henry TAYLOR 1816–1882

Nancy we know is buried in the PIONEER CEMETERY at Lincoln's Boy Hood Home.

Daniel TAYLOR Sr. left a will and the records of those documents catalogues this very large family. (See footnotes on comparison studies and opinions) What is a mystery is how and why the distribution of his will was assigned in the manner of which we read.

Elizabeth Taylor married Stephen Shoemaker on July 28, 1816. Elizabeth in the opinion of myself and other researchers must fit into Daniel Taylor's family. No other known Taylors were in Tobin Township at the time. Her age makes her a natural born child of Daniels marriage to Drusilla Rigney. She also has DNA connections which this writer recognizes with those that decent could be the intermarriages of the Shoemakers with the Taylor lineage down the line. Maintaining the thought of determination by elimination this will be corrected.
