TAYLOR, J. J. Co. D, 1 Ark Cav CSA

I am looking for information on my great grand father J.J. Taylor
I have not been able to find him on any unit roster. Family history says he was a captain, but then folks like to add a little sometimes. It is also said that he was one of six Baptist ministers in his comany.

Here is what I know:
John Jackson Taylor AKA JJ Taylor and Jack Taylor with JJ being the most commonly used There are records of marriages preformed by Rev. JJ Taylor.

born 19 March 1843 Marianville Greene Co MO

1860 census Mooney Madison Co AR
Married Martha Jane Stewart in 1863 at Johnson AR
1880 census Richland Madison Co AR
1900 census justice prect 3 Mills co Texas

member of UCV Jeff Davis Camp 117 Mills co. Texas
He is listed on a momument as being a member of Co. D. 1 Ark CAV
He was a Mason

died 3 November 1903 in Goldwithe Texas
Burried North Brown Cemetary Mills Co Texas

His wife Marth Jane Stewart applied for a Texas vet pension and it was granted to her.
on the application it said she did not know the unit but He, JJ rode with Gen Cabel

He had six brothers who also served in the war with three fighting for the South and three fighting for the North. Family history says he saw one of his brothers in the Northern lines at the battle of Pea Ridge and refused to fight the rest of the day for fear of killing his brother. I had an aunt tell me he was a raider after the war.

Any information would be of help.

Joe
