William Taylor, who married Sally Scruggs, lived in Virginia, until about shortly before 1800. William and Sarah were both born in Henrico County, Virgina. Today this area in Powhatan County as there were multiple county boundary changes. The couple moved to Pittsylvania County, and county boundary changes put them in Henry and Patrick County. They next moved to Stokes North Carolina. William's will was probated there in June of 1803. While the death year is the same as the William Taylor in the Machpelah Cemetery (i.e., Vance County), the dates are different. Furthermore, our William died in Stokes and is likely buried there. He had no connection to Vance County. Our Sarah "Sally" Taylor lived at least another 20 years, Stokes County estate records for William Taylor show Sally claiming her dower share of William's estate in 1825. Again, our Sarah "Sally" Scruggs Taylor could not be the individual buried in Machpelah Cemetery in 1803. There was a legal dispute over Williams's estate and a neighbor, Reuben Moore, filed a petition in 1824 to force division of the estate. He named the heirs of William Taylor, and they include Benjamin Hawkins and his wife, Molly Taylor:
William Taylor deceased leaving: William; Isaac; Sally intermarried with Bowles Abingdon; Joseph; Susan intermarried with Matthew Deatherage; Molly intermarried with Benjamin Hawkins; Robert.
=====
Taylor, William, Major, Virginia Line, 29 Jan 1776, to 10 Feb 1781.
