COLONEL FRANCIS TAYLOR,
(Author of the Diaries) fifth son of Col.George Taylor, was born March 20, 1747. He was commissioned May 8, 1776, a Captain in the 2nd, Virginia Regiment; on March 20, 1778 (his 31st, birthday) he was commissioned Major in the 15th, Virginia Regiment; on Dec. 24, 1778, was commissioned Lieutenant-Colonel of the Virginia Convention Guards and March 5, 1779, Colonel of same Regiment. He served gallantly through the war of the Revolution. He never married. After the Revolution, he was for a number of years Deputy Clerk of Orange Co., under his brother, James, with whom he lived at "Greenfield."
In 1786 he went to live with his father at "Midland" in the house build that year and still standing, and there he continued to live until his death (November 1799) managing the plantation and his own and his father's business in a very successful manner. His will is on record in Orange C.H. He accumulated a handsome estate for those times and seems to have been banker for most of the family.
He received from Virginia a bounty of over 6,000 acres land, and also took up and owned many thousands more in Jefferson and Shelby counties, Ky., as well as elsewhere in Ky., and across the Ohio River in Indiana. Some of his Ky.lands lay on Floyd's Fork, others on Blackfords Creek, now the dividing line between Daviess and Hancock counties. He left the bulk of his estate to his nephews.
