Very little is known of Thomas Fox Taylor, son of British officer Charles Taylor and an unknown Cherokee woman. Charles Taylor was stationed at Fort Prince George in the Cherokee Nation about 1755-1757 and during that time fathered two sons, Charles and Thomas, by an unknown Cherokee woman. Thomas married Jennie Walker, grand-daughter of Nancy Ward. They had three children: Richard Taylor, who led a detachment over the Trail of Tears and became a chief, (Thomas) Fox Taylor, and Susannah Fox Taylor.

"Charles Thomas Taylor came into the C Nation a Captain in a Brittish Regiment & married a Cherokee woman by whom he had a son named Thomas. Thomas married a Cherokee woman by whom he had three children; Richard, Fox, & Susan, the first named Taylor was a natural son of the Fox family in England, on that account the son of Thomas was called Fox & they have ever since continued to say that they by blood are allied to the late Charles Fox. Thomas had a brother named Charles who died in the west Indies. The simple narative from the widow of Thomas who is still living bears all the marks of truth. It will be observed that the first mentioned Taylor had a brother named Charles & a son also named Charles so that there were three heirs of that name including the first-mentioned, that bore the name of Charles & the son of the first named his son by the Cherokee woman Fox [knowing?] at the time that he named him after his great grandfather in England.

November 14, 1811

[marginal notation] The first Charles Taylor died in Charles Town, SoCarolina
