Mrs. A.B. Dilworth
Sarah Taylor, the youngest daughter of John Taylor and Sarah Knott was born in North Carolina September 28, 1818. She moved to Georgia when quite small and when in her teens her father moved to Tishomingo County, settled on a farm between Rienzi and Troy (afterwards named Danville). On January 7, 1840 she married Hon. A.B. Dilworth who filled quite a number of official positions for the county and state. This necessarily called them to Jackson for several years. In 1858 Mr. and Mrs. Dilworth returned to their farm near Biggersville.
She always kept "open house", her husband being in public life. She was modest, refined, charitable and just. Her gentle manners won for her the love of all. When the Confederate soldiers occupied Corinth, her home was full of wounded, sick and convalescent soldiers and remained so until the Stars and Bars were furled forever. Two soldiers died holding her hand and asking God to bless her. One of these she had nursed ten weeks. She was never robust and when her health failed several of her servants refused to leave the place until the sod hid her from them on September 13, 1876. She was the mother of Mrs. G.W. Bynum of Corinth and Mrs. C.F. Robinson, and J.A. Dilworth of Biloxi, Mississippi.
