I was contacted by a lady named Mary who is the church historian for Evergreen Baptist Church in Effingham, Florence County, SC. She wrote:
I am working on our cemetary records and I ran across two rows of lots that were purchased by brothers Gary and Austin Taylor. There are no markers, but a note in the records that say both rows have one child buried in each. I was just wondering if you would have any information on a child of Gary being buried here.
I have not worked on the TAYLOR family in probably at least a year. It turns out that I never did research Gary's line very well, so will have to correct that now.
Robert Gary TAYLOR was b. May 1880 in South Carolina. He married twice:
Mattie (Maddie) MOORE 1883-1919 married about 1901
Allie BAXLEY b. 1912 SC married about 1921
Gary TAYLOR was the son of Levi R TAYLOR (son of William Jr, son of William Sr.) and Martha "Mattie" McLELLAN or McMILLAN.
