Robert Handcock Hunter, the son of Dr. Johnson Hunter, wrote in his memoirs, "When Pa came to Texas in 1821, he got acquainted with old man Anson Taylor on the Trinity and old man Taylor was on Capt.

The first child of Anson Taylor born in Texas was Robert, who was seven years of age in 1826, thus definitely placing the Taylor family in Texas as early as 1819. Anson Taylor's daughter Cecilla (Sally) married Andrew Roach, reputed to be one of Jean Lafitte's men, and this family was also listed in the 1826 Atascosito Census; Andrew Roach thirty two years old, born in Italy, a seaman; Sally Taylor, his wife, 18 years born in Tennessee and Elenor, daughter, 1 year, born in Texas. -TAYLOR'S BAYOU at what is now Clear Lake,Harris County,Texas,USA: SKETCHES OF THE PAST by Jean L.
