Hi Billie,
I amrather sure your line is that of John Taggart and wife Sarah Curtis.
John, based on census records was born abound 1799.Based on a family Bible record, he and his wife Sarah Curtis were married 05 October 1820 and Sarah was born 13 October 1800.From various sources including census records,I show the following children for John and Sarah:
Elijah C. Taggart who most surely was named for Sarah's father Elijah Curtis (b. 31 December 1776 - d. 24 May 1864)
Sarah C. Taggart (Perhaps named for Sarah's mother Sarah Curtis (b. 09 March 1778 - d. 22 July 1860)
NOTE: Sarah (Curtis) Taggart's parents, Elijah and Sarah Curtis were first cousins.In other words, Sarah (Curtis) Taggart's Mother was a Curtis prior to marriage.
The other children my notes show for Johna and Sarah Tagert are: Jacob A. Taggart, Thomas A. Taggert, Eliza J. Taggart, Mary Ann Taggart, John Wesley Taggart, George W. Taggart, and Margaret V. Taggart.etc.
I've seen the Taggart name spell many ways, but in the family Bible it is spelled TAGERT.However, the two spelling I've seen the most tend to be TAGGAR, TAGART,and TAGGERT.
Sarah (Curtis) Tagert is buried in Mobile Alabama.She was the second oldest childr of Elijah and Sarah.Her parents, Elijah and Sarah (Curtis) Curtis) weere bornin Anson County, North Carolina.He was the son of Nathaniel Curtis who was killed in the Revolution in July of 1`780.Her father, also a veteren of the Revolution, was Samuel Curtis who died in Marengo County, Alabama in 846 at the age of 95 (He was born in 1751 in Maryland.)Elijah, Sarah, her parents Samuel and Sarah (Hicks) Curtis and many of their families, as well as other kinfolk, moved from Anson County to Stewart County, Tennessee around 1808.The "clan"(Sarah, her parents and siblings, etc.) over a period of a few years, made the migration to the area of present day Old Spring Hill, near Demopolis in Marengo County, Alabama.This migration was mostly over a period of teimbetween 1815 and 1822.)Elijah and Sarah Curtis moved to Sumter County Alabama after that land was opened up and finally in 1854, Elijah and Sarah, and several of their children and their respective families, moved to thenChoctaw County, Mississippi.Both Elijah and Sarah Curtis are buried at Bethel Methodist Church Cemetery near the hamlet of Huntsville, Mississippi in present day Montgomery County, Mississippi.This is not far from French Camp, Mississippi.Sarah Curtis's father Samuel Curtis is buried in the Curtis Allen Cemetery located behind the site of his home at Old Springhill, Alabama.The house that stands on the site of his home is said to have been a replica of his home that burned in the 1870's.However, his town home still stands in Demoplis and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
As to the Taggarts, I don't know much more, but you might look in Stewart County Tennessee and in the area of Anson nd Richmond County North Carolina and Marlboroo County South Carolina, as I believe I saw the family name in those locales too and many of the families associated with my Curtis family were with the family all the way from North Caorlina to Tenneeseee to Alabama to Mississippi and in some cases even before back in Maryland.
Sincerely, Jay Stein.
BTW, if you check the TAGGART Forum, I believe you find another cousin of yours, one decended from John and Sarah's son John Wesley Taggart.
