General Notes
marconi2added this on 26 May 2009

Daniel fought in the Dunsmore's War, under Captain John Stuart, at the "Battle of Point Pleasant" in 1774. In 1780 the commission to Settle Claims to Unpatented Lands on Western Waters of Virginia recorded that, by settlement 1778, Daniel was entitled to 200 acres of land adjoining lands of John Poage and Alexander Waddle. This tract was in the Swago-Millpoint area of Pocahontas (then Greenbrier) County. Daniel's name can not be found on any official records after 1786. This was explained by a family member as thus; he failed to come right home after war due to injuries received, and when he did return found his wife married to someone else thinking her husband had been killed.

Mary then married William "Long William" Ewing August 1791 in Bath County, Virginia. William Ewing and Mary were subsequently indicted by the Bath County Grand Jury in November 1791 for intermarrying. "Daniel, the husband of said Mary, not yet being dead that we know of from the information of two of our body." The case was dismissed in 1793. Daniel and Mary had four known children. Mary also had children with William Ewing but their names are unknown.

Daniel made application for a Revolutionary War Pension on May 8, 1833. According to his pension records (S17137, page 65) on October 10, 1774 he was in a battle near the Mouth of the Great Kanawha River, between the American Colonial Forces under General Lewis and the Indians. (Battle of Point Pleasant). Many historians consider this the first battle of the Revolutionary War.

In 1776 while serving in the Virginia troops under Captain John Cook, he assisted in the construction of Fort Defiance; from 1776, he was engaged during nearly the whole of every summer for the next six years in spying, guarding Fort Defiance, and ranging.

After the Revolution he returned to Winchester, Virginia. He remained there for 3-4 years, then went back to Greenbrier County for a couple years, then settled near Bardstown, Kentucky, where he remained for 20 years. He then removed to Lewiston Township, Montgomery County, Missouri, where he resides at present. (Application executed May 8, 1883)." According to Brenda Collins, Daniel married Jane McMillan in Madison County, Kentucky on March 30, 1790 and went on to raise a second family in Warren and Logan Counties, Kentucky.

the "Battle of Point Pleasant" in 1774. In 1780 the commission to Settle Claims to unpatented Land on western waters of Virginia recorded that by settlement 1778, Daniel was entitled to 200 acres of land. This tract was in the Swago Millpoint area of Pocahontas (then Greenbrier) county. Then Daniel went off to fight again and failed to come home due to injuries received...when he did, he found his wife Mary married to someone else, thinking her husband had been killed. Mary was married to William "long William" Ewing on August 8, 1791 in Bath County, Va. The we indicted by the Bath County Grand Jury in Nov. 1791 "for Daniel, husband of Mary, not yet being dead that we know of from the information of two of our own body". The case was in 1793. Daniel and Mary had four known children. Mary also had children with William Ewing. From the book "Revolutionary Soldiers Buried in Missouri" pages 229-230 it shows Daniel Taylor, b. 1748 NJ Died 2-27-1841, Danville, Missouri (Montgomery County). He had divorced Mary who was then living with Ewing and married Margaret Thatcher. Census shows that there was one child in 1830 that was between 10-15yrs. The government had given Daniel land in Missouri for his service as a spy in the Revolutionary War. His English must have been very proper and upper class to pass as a spy. I gather that Daniel was not only famous, but infamous...some call him "very colorful " and is somewhat of a hero with the Revolutionary War fans. There are some writings of his that are on the public market, but I have not found a copy of them yet. - Sharleen

GENERAL INFORMATION: Lord Dunmore's War (1774) A wave of traders and settlers in the 1770's alarmed the Native Americans in the southern Ohio River valley. These tribes included the Delaware, the Wyandot, the Shawnee, and the Cayuga Iroquois. They gave Kentucky the name of "the dark and bloody ground." Virginia claimed the area, and its governor, Lord Dunmore, sent troops to restore order. On Oct. 10, 1774, about 3,000 soldiers defeated 1,000 Native Americans at what is now Point Pleasant, WV. The Native Americans then gave up their hunting lands south of the Ohio River.


He was the only Taylor listed in the 1790 Census for Greenbrier County, Virginia.
