: Laurie Taylor Gilman,
:
: I find the marriage licenses for Leonard
: Taylor and (1) Caroline Kidwell (20 January
: 1845) and (2) Rebecca Loveless (10 May
: 1852), and that his second marriage to
: Rebecca was performed by the Rector of St.
: Barnabas', Leeland. (This is interesting,
: because both Leonard and Rebecca were buried
: at Mount Carmel, the cemetery of St. Mary's
: Roan Catholic Church in Upper Marlboro.)
: Leonard's gravestone at Mount Carmel gives
: his dates as 20 July 1821 to 16 November
: 1891. Rebecca is indicated on the
: gravestone, but there are no dates. I find
: also (as you must have already) both Leonard
: and Rody Taylor listed in the 1850 census,
: the first census that lists all individuals
: by name In 1850 Rody is 75 years old, and
: Leonard only 27. (Leonard's wife, Caroline,
: is still living at the time of this census.
: She iied in 1852, and is buried at St.
: Thomas' Episcopal church in Croom.)
:
: In 1850 Leonard lived very close to the area
: now known today as Rosaryville, as his
: closest neighbor was Cecelius Calvert who
: lived at the Mount Airy plantation. Leonard
: is listed as a "manager" in the
: 1850 census, almost certainly for the
: Calverts at Mount Airy. While Leonard owned
: no real estate at that time, Rody owned a
: substantial amount. In 1850 Rody (Rhody)
: lived in the Croom area,between the village
: of Croom and Shelby's Landing on the
: Patuxent River.
:
: A Rodiah Taylor is buried at St. Thomas'
: Church at Croom, but the inscription on his
: gravestone indicates that he died 8 June
: 1889 at 77 years of age. This of course
: does not fit with the data in the 1850
: census. Prince George's County probate
: records indicate that Rhody Taylor died in
: 1857 - he did not write a will, but his
: estate file is preserved at the MD State
: Archives as File #401. Did the older Rhody
: Taylor have a son by the same name, and
: could the son be the R.H. Taylor who appears
: in the 1870 census in the Notingham area not
: too far from Croom? and who died in 1889?
:
: These same probate records indicate that
: Leonard Taylor died in 1891; he also did not
: write a will, but his estate file is #1444.
:
: You will need to dig deeper into the wills
: and estate files of the Taylor faily to
: discover the parents of these two men, and
: to find anything about Sarah Jones. I find
: nothing abut a marriage between a Sarah
: Jones and any Taylor.
:
: Good luck with your search!
