James T. Taylor (1794-1850)

'''

OVERVIEW
The entry for James in the 1850 US Mortality Schedule indicates an Ohio POB. His parents have not been identified. Some researchers indicate that he married Sarah Melvin in Greene County TN, which might indicate either that he 1) moved there from Ohio, married, and returned to the north later settling in Parke Co Indiana, or 2) he was born in Tennessee and the Ohio POB is in error.

Ancestry
The parents of James are unknown.

Original data: Compiled and digitized by Mr. Jackson and AIS from microfilmed schedules of the U.S. Federal Decennial Census, territorial/state censuses, and/or census substitutes.

Description: Included in the 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880 U.S. censuses were mortality schedules that asked questions regarding those who died in the twelve months prior to the enumeration. This database is an index to several of these schedules. The schedule lists the deceased name, sex, age, color, whether widowed or not, place of birth, month of death, occupation, and cause of death. In 1870 the parents' birthplaces were added. Learn more...

Research Needs
The 1820 census for James Taylor shows that one person in the household was foreign born. That would have to be either James or Sarah, as the only other person in the household was their 1 year old son. One page further on Phebe Melvin, Sarah's mother, is shown as HOH with one person foreign born. The other members of the household are 18 or younger. It seems likely that the person who was foreign born was Phebe. That leads to the possibility that Phebe married in Ireland, and bore daughter Sarah prior to their immigration to the US. its also possible that one of the other household members is unrelated, and also foreign born. If this is true then its likely that the person in James' household that was foreign born was James himself.

At least one person thinks Phoebe and James were born in Ireland as shown in Ancestry's U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900. That compilation includes both primary records, and secondary records. In this case the source document is family group sheet, and so the information simply represents one persons thoughts on the marriage. Other data given in this record is consistent with informaiton obtained from primary sources, so perhaps their POB of Ireland is sound.

On the otherhand, the 1820 census shows only 1 person being foreign born and not naturalized. If both James and Phobe were foreign born we might expect the census record to show 2 persons. Howver, its possible that one of them (presumably James) had been naturalized.
