John Abraham Taylor (1807-1885) married Mary (Polly) Preisoch (Prisock, Prysock), and moved from South Carolina to Franklin County, Alabama in 1827. He became known as "Parson John" for his preaching of Christianity in Franklin, Colbert and other northern Alabama counties as well as in Mississippi and Tennessee (although he was not affi- liated with any formal church organization). Descendants and rela- tives of Parson John lived in South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Indiana and elsewhere.
Here is a reminiscence whose theme is my family. I try to discern something of the personalities of my ancestors, along with the bare facts that I could uncover. It is a portrait of a river, a great river of memory, and its tributaries, which lie in the imagination. What is a family, anyway? It's a giant dream, a mental conception that allows a person to be strengthened against the adverse tides of the present, or to deepen present contentment and happiness. In either case, I hope my descendants will find this dream, this slice of their own history, useful and entertaining. And I hope my great-grandfather will forgive me for turning his walking stick into a metaphor. It's still a walking stick, believe me. I even use it, sometimes, when I'm out in the woods.
