Daughter of Zachariah Elizabeth Isbell of Virginia and Tennessee.
Widow of Capt. Samuel Williams (1733-88) and James Taylor. Sam Williams was "capt. in Sevier's regt. in Battle of King's Mountain; rep. from Washington Co., NC in the Franklin Legislature, 1782; killed in battle with Indians at Nollychucky, Tenn., 1788" (Compendium of American Genealogy by Virkus vol. IV p. 313).
Pat Brown lists Hannah Isbell Williams Taylor's death as c1812 Jackson County, Alabama. Many researchers show her as dying circa 1830 in Jackson County. Her son George and family moved to Jackson County in 1811 and his daughter Polly was born there in 1813.
Burial place is uncertain, but she was probably buried at Blue Spring where many of the early Isbells were buried or at Dodson Cemetery where her son Samuel Williams Jr. is buried.
Before 1822, Samuel Williams Jr. had staked claim to three tracts of land almost adjoining John Isbell's land, and between the Isbell Cemetery and the Dodson Cemetery. Samuel Williams didn't patent these tracts until 1831, 1833 and 1839. The oldest marked graves in the county are reportedly at Dodson Cemetery, so Hannah could well be there along with many other early settlers.
She married first Samuel Williams ("b. 1733 NC, d. 1788 East Tennessee," according to a brief family history. He died "on the Nolichunky River, East Tennessee."
A few references confuse him with their grandson, Samuel Williams (1807-1898) in calling him "a pioneer and founder of Chattanooga." (Anniston, AL. STAR, August 29, 1918, p.5). See: The Father of Chattanooga: Samuel Williams (1807-1898), His Descendants and Ancestors (1973), by Dorothy Nix.
The death date 1788 may originate in confusion between him with another Capt. Samuel Williams who died that date, and he may have lived as late as 1791, the year before Hannah's second marriage to James Taylor. Four years was a little long to remain a widow on the frontier.
Hannah Isbell Williams married her second husband 4 Feb 1791 Greene Co, N.C. (William Isbell, bondsman).
He was James Taylor, born c1761, who died 1840-1850 in Jackson Co., AL.
Not to be confused with Hannah Jennings Taylor died in 1813 Northeast Alabama, the wife of George William Taylor (born c1761), son of James Taylor born c1731. (Information from her 5th great-grandson Dwight Hunter.) It may be that Hannah Isbell Taylor has been confused with Hannah Jennings Taylor and that she actually died c1830 as other researchers show.
Children of Capt. Samuel Williams and his first wife, Mary Magdalene Allen (1741-1781), were:
Allen Williams (c1762-c1790)
Mary Williams 1773-
Robert 1775-
possibly others, including maybe Jesse
Children of Samuel Williams and 2nd wife Hannah Isbell:
Jesse Williams 1779/82-1856 (m. Margaret)
Unknown daughter Williams c1782- (listed by Pat Brown)
Unknown daughter Williams c1784- (listed by Pat Brown)
George Washington Williams 1787-1832
Samuel Lowry Williams ("Samuel Jr.") 1788-1859
James Williams (on some family lists)
and probably John Williams (c1789?-Sep 1848) who married Christina Thursa (1793-1853) from Kentucky.
John Williams was born 17 Oct 1791 in S.C., according to some family trees, but may be confusing him with a different John Williams. He may have been born c1788. This John Williams died Sept.1848 in Jackson Co., AL. where he lived near the Isbells and Williamses. His descendants are DNA matches of the Isbells, so researchers have speculated Christina Thursa was an Isbell which seems less likely.
