He served in the 9thVirginia Regiment under Colonel Burrley at Albemarle Barracks.He furnished supplies to the army. This must have been in the form of rope, clothing sacks, etc. For mention is made numerous times in abstract of the Augusta County Virginia court records of him recieving hemp certificates. He served in the Battle of Kings Mountain, Oct 7, 1780. This battle was said to be the turning point in the war.

He served during the American revolution under his son-in-law David McNabb at King's Mountain.Andrew made his will 22 May 1787 in Washington County. Leaving 640 acres to his son Mathew, the land that he lives on to his sons Nathaniel and Andrew. Since Isaac is his oldest son and one of the executor of his will I assume that he had already given him his part. He also gives 5 shillings sterling currency to his beloved son David McNabb, husband of his daughter, Elizabeth,who is another executor. He left a number of slaves and named some of them and gave them to certain children and his wife. Two of Andrew Taylor's great great grandsons, brothers, Alfred Alexander Taylor and Robert Love Taylor became Governors ofTennessee. They ran against each other in 1886 and Robert the Democrat Won.
