CHarles--my gggrandmother was Elizabeth Taylor who was married to George Brooks in Buncombe Co. They had 18 children-my great grandmother was MaryAnn Brooks who married Daniel Wilson from Buncombe Co. I suspect that Elizabeth and your Robert Taylor were from the same family and that the Brooks family may be the same--send me an e-mail if you think there is a connection--I have a lot of information on their line and a tintype of Elizabeth.
