Excerpt from TARLTON JONES TAYLOR'S ANCESTRY AND DESCENDANTS 1500-1986, by Gorden Jefferson Gatewood (1900-1987) Gorden Gatewood wrote, "FERNANDO SAN FRANCISCO TAYLOR (spelled as found in family Bible), first child and first son of Tarlton Jones Taylor and Catherine Bodkin. He was born in Harrison Co., KY, and was five years old when the family moved from the Kentucky Blue Grass Region to the Black Lands of Texas. F. S. Taylor, herein and henceforth referred to as Uncle Ferd. Uncle Ferd was a migratory individual. The grass appeared to be greener some other place than where he was situated at the time. To get a detailed account of his meanderings, read, The Erie Catherine Taylor - William Wesley Wilks Family, by Doris Ross Brock Johnston, a great-granddaughter and a careful researcher. He had a monumental task thrust upon him when his father was murdered. Being the oldest child and son, he had the monumental task of helping his mother with managing the farm and caring for the little ones, his brothers and sisters. Then he married 12 Nov 1867. So he had the added responsibility of his own family. In 1868 Great-Grandma Taylor [Catharine Bodkin/Botkin] rented her place in Grayson Co., TX, and moved to Clay Co., MO, to be near her sister and some more of her relatives. Uncle Ferd and wife [Elizabeth Goen] went with them. They stayed in Missouri about a year. Then pulled stakes and moved to Bell Co., TX. Uncle Ferd's father-in-law was living there then. They settled in the Moffat community of Bell Co. Great-grandma, Catherine seemed to put her roots down in the Moffat community. Ferd Taylor was on the Tax Roll of McLennan Co., TX, 1880. They left Carlton, Hamilton Co., TX, in the fall of 1880 bound for Arkansas. Bought land in Washington Co. near Cincinnati, AR. Here a daughter, Erie Catharine, their youngest child, was born. They sold out and started back to Texas during the summer, having stayed there less than a year. Back in Texas they picked cotton a while near Montague, thence to Hill Co. and purchased 60 acres of fine black land near Hillsboro. In about two years, he sold out in Hill Co. and went to Lampasas, TX, camped in a grove of pecan trees on Sulphur Creek on the north side of town (the trees are still there, 1985). From thence to Troy, Bell Co. At Troy, Elizabeth Goen Taylor died, leaving Uncle Ferd with seven children, the oldest of which was sixteen. He left Troy in the fall of 1884 intending to go to Young Co., TX, and purchase school land. He stopped by a friend's house near Alexander, Erath Co. The friend persuaded him to rent some of his land. Lived there a year, then moved to another place nearby where they lived for a year or two. Thence to Indian Gap in Hamilton Co. In 1888 they started to Young and Stephens Cos. prospecting. They picked cotton in the fall of 1888 and eventually wound up back in Hamilton Co. in the Blue Ridge Community. [This is the place Erie described as their happiest.] Uncle Ferd married Rose Anna "Rosa" McLaughlin 1890. His second daughter [Arrena Goen Taylor] married in 1890. He purchased a place near Carlton, Hamilton Co., lived there a year or two [his and Rosa's two children, Rosa Jewel and Charles Jenkins Taylor, were born there], sold out in July of 1894 and started for the Indian Territory but turned back at the Red River. He bought a crop near Forrestburg, Montague Co., TX, harvested the crop there and moved to Eulogy, Bosque Co., TX. He did not find anything there that suited him. Again they wound up in Hamilton Co. and purchased raw land near Olin. Improved the place and made two crops there. One year was dry and the other was stormy. From Blue Ridge in Hamilton Co. they moved to Eastland Co., where he purchased land, built a new house and crib. Here he was instrumental in establishing a Post Office, Staff [Apr 1897]. He also ran a store in conjunction with the post office. All of the family liked Eastland Co. except Uncle Ferd. Sold out there and wound up at Payne's Gap in Mills Co. They lived at Payne's Gap three years. Sold out and went to Floyd Co. on the High Plains of Texas. Didn't like there because he could not raise cotton. So they returned to Bosque Co. and purchased land eight miles west of Meridian. Here he ran a store and also helped establish the post office of Dell, TX. F. S. Taylor stayed at Dell eight months, sold out and went to Motley Co., TX. Didn't like there so he traveled over the plains for quite some time, was at Lubbock, TX, in 1901, a village of about 200 people. At that time the business section of town contained "a general store, a drug store, a saddle and harness shop, one blacksmith shop, a livery stable, a wagon yard, two feed stores, a hotel, one or two restaurants, two cattlemen's supply stores, a post office, school house, and two or three saloons and gambling houses, a railroad and station. The houses were all made of lumber and rather small. A few two-story houses. If they ever had church, they had it in the school house, said Erie Catharine Taylor Wilks; who was twenty years of age at that time. From Lubbock they went by the Yellow House Ranch, thence westward to New Mexico. At the Horn Ranch fifty miles east of the Pecos River some of them drank too much water from an alkaline lake, and some became ill. "That night Brother Jeff Lean got awfully sick. Amy Hall, Sister Richardson, and myself went out to Mr. Horn's house to get some medicine for him. We didn't know how ranchers felt about farmers. They gave us the medicine but let us know they didn't want farmers in the country," Erie wrote. The wagon train traveled westward to Fort Sumner, then to Santa Rosa, thence towards Las Vegas, NM. On the way they met a Mr. Laird and family returning. His remarks about the country were not at all complimentary. The men stood around and talked for a couple of hours. Some wanted to go on, others wanted to turn back. Finally they decided to let Erie decide which way to go. Uncle Ferd came to her wagon and said, "Erie, we have decided to follow you." She studied a few minutes, realizing winter was coming on, money was running low, there were little ones in the group. They were in the mountains with no protection except their wagons. If misfortune befell some, it would be her fault. She turned her team and wagon around and started back. They landed in Hamilton Co. at Payne's Gap and bought the place they had sold. From Payne's Gap, they moved to Somervell Co. and bought land from J. R. Milam. He built a new house, mended the fences, and established a post office at Hucal, TX. He also had a country store. While living at Hucal, they worshipped at Chalk Mtn., Erath Co. I don't know where Uncle Ferd went from Hucal, but in 1918 he was living a mile or so east of Hico in Hamilton Co. During peanut harvesting season in the fall of 1918, my father sent me to Hico with a four-horse load of thrashed peanuts and to secure supplies for the thrasher. . . Returning from Hico the next morning I saw Uncle Ferd was in his front yard when I approached his home, which was beside the road. I stopped and talked with him for about thirty minutes. He was an interesting person . . . did not talk down to young people. That is the last time I saw him. However, he remained in Hamilton Co. a year or two then migrated to Burnet Co. [abt 1921], where he spent his declining years . . . He was an active member of the Farmers Alliance and represented the Alliance at National conventions at Austin, Galveston, and Fort Worth, TX. Another time he represented them at Cincinnati, OH. He always worked for the improvement of his community. He was faithful to the Lord all the days of his life. |
