John Hayden Taylor was buried in a family cemetery on their farm and his servant was buried nearby with a small grindstone as a marker. Lois Groves found his gravestone leaning against a tree and had it moved to Buck Grove just before she died, since the family plot was not kept up by later owners of the farm.

* {Maybe Jacob did graduate in lst class of Louisville Medical School. I
read
in my KY history book a medical school was opened in 1834 but there were 2
medical colleges in Louisville! That one was opened under auspices of
Center College. U. of L. opened in 1846 but whether they had a medical
school right away I don't find. Anyway he would have been old enough to be
in the lst class. I always thought his daughter was
asked to take part in the ceremony because he was in first class. -- Rachel Hardin 1999}

EDWARD TAYLOR
m Sarah Hayden
Their children were:
John Hayden Taylor b 5-16-1798, Fayette Co., Pa d 6-23-1846 Ky
I have no other information about this family.
The 1790 Pa Census listed Fenwick Taylor, Edward's father, in George's Township with 1 Male over 16, 3 Males under 16 and 6 Females.
At this point, we will vary the format and pick up John Hayden Taylor's wife, Hannah Shacklett's family - Shackletts again and on the maternal side, Wimp.
Then we will continue with the Haydens back to the 12th century.

From Arthur Shacklette's notebook
In Dr. Ridenour's Early Times in Meade County he mentions as early as 1815 there were no
church organizations and itinerant preachers went long distances to visit the new
settlements. John Shacklett was one of these. Mention is also made of Elizabeth
Ashfcraft Shacklett and Rachel Wimp Shacklett (sisters-in-law) held church
meetings in their cabins and promoted the eventual building of Hill Grove Baptist Church.
JOHN WIMP
b. c. 1741 Penns.
d 1819
m. Rosina Kirkpatrick or Margaret Fickle
John Wimp was a sergeant in the American Revolution, serving in Capt. Floy'd company of Cumberland County Militia, Penna, commanded by Col. William Chambers, 1779. He moved to Meade County in 1809. There was some dispute among his descendents just who his wife was. Frances Fast, our family historian, decided upon Rosina Kirkpatrick and thought perhaps Margaret Fickle was the wife of an older John Wimp who, tradition says, was at Braddock's defeat, 1755.
Their children were:
James

According to "Early Times in Meade County", John Wimp was well educated. He was a Mason and had a Masonic Medal which he greatly prized, having brought it from the old country, which was tied about his neck and buried with him as requested. This book says he married Rosina in Ireland and that he came to Meade County about 1810 with Shackletts.
