Robert Taylor

of Dodge County Georgia

Robert Taylor was born around 1820.  Robert married Lucinda Sapp, granddaughter of Levi Sapp, Revolutionary Solider. The marriage was 06 Jan. 1843. Robert is said to be from Dodge county Georgia but two of his sons, Hiram T. and Hughey A. list their fathers place of birth as South Carolina on the 1880 Census. Robert's parents are not known. There is a family legion that he killed a man, (maybe twice,) "up north", (maybe Dodge county or South Carolina,) and came to south Georgia to escape prosecution. The story has it that he was a mason and that the Masons helped him escape. We can find no record of him dying or being buried in the Adel Georgia area where he lived with Lucinda. Her grave is at Brushy Creek Cemetery out form Sparks Georgia. He is not there. The area around Adel was Lowndes county when he came there around 1840 and then cut off into Berrien county in 1856 and then into Cook in 1918.

Robert Taylor was the father of Hiram T. Taylor. Hiram is buried with his wife and other family members at Fellowship Baptist Church out from Cecil Georgia.
