COL. JAMES TAYLOR and his twin sister Keturah (who became Mrs. Horatio
T. Harris) were born August 9, 1802, at Bellevue, adjoining the town of
Newport, Ky.  Col. Taylor's father was Gen. James Taylor, and his mother
was Keturah Leitch nee Moss, both pioneers from Virginia.  His first
school was the academy, about two miles from the town, under a
celebrated teacher, the Rev. Robert Stubbs, who was a learned 
Englishman, and an Episcopal divine.  He next attended the Pestalozzian 
School at Lexington, taught by Dr. Joseph Buchanan.  In 1818 he entered 
Transylvania University, under the presidency of Dr. Holley, and 
graduated in 1822.  After that he graduated at the Transylvania law 
school, and was admitted to the bar.  Col. Taylor practiced chiefly as a
land lawyer for his father and others in the State of Ohio.  He 
possessed talents of high order, and his richly stored mind and genial 
manners rendered him attractive in society.  In his early life he was 
quite conspicuous as an amateur actor, and was up to old age noted for 
his brilliant style of recitation.  In 1824 he married Miss Susan Lucy 
Barry, a daughter of the Hon. William T. Barry, of Lexington.  They 
settled in Newport, and reared six children--three sons and three 
daughters.  In politics Col. Taylor was a Whig.  When that party 
expired he voted with Democrats.  In the civil war he was a strong
Union man.  In religion he was an Episcopalian.  After an active and
useful life he died March 29, 1863, in the eighty-first year of his age,
having survived his devoted wife a little more than a year.
