Not sure if these are the same Taylors, but it's worth a shot!
I have William Amzy Watson (b.11 July 1818, Wheat, Roane co TN d. 21 July 1880, Barren Creek Polk co, MO).His first wife was Rebecca Eveline Taylor (married on 27 Jan 1846 in Kingston, TN.She was b. 24 June 1824 and d. 26 July 1854.
Their children (all born in Roane co TN)were:
Samuel Naff b. 19 Jan 1847 d .25 Ap 1848
James Leander b. 15 Sept 1848 d. 18 Oct 1898
John Henry b. 13 Feb 1851 d. 14 Jan 1932
Josiah b. 7 Aug 1853 d. 18 Feb 1854
William Amzy Watson had a sister, Rachel Belinda Watson (who m. Abram Hagler).Her son, John Watson Hagler ( b. 1852, Roane co TN d. 1925, Fannin co TX) m. Itaska E. Taylor on the 9 Feb 1881.
Not sure if that helps or not, but perhaps the Taylor families are related - would love to find out more about Rebecca Taylor especially.
Regarding the Kelley surname - I have Mary Vanderville Watson m. William C. Kelley (b. 1852) on 14 Dec 1870 - they had at least 3 children (prob born in Polk co MO) - Amanda Annis; William M and George L. Kelley.
Thanks
