William Taylor, Sr.

The Indian Creek Community The community in and around Indian Creek was first settled by the Taylors: William, Benjamin, David, Drury, John, Barzela and Henry as well as Jonathon and James Hendrixson. In the upper end early settlers included Archibald McInitire and William Tramel.A half-acre of land was given by E.W. Taylor in 1852 to build a school. By 1904, Indian Creek had Cave Springs School on the upper end, and Red Hill on the lower end.

Indian Creek Missionary Baptist Church was established in 1844, and later moved in 1947 to the Hurricane Ridge. Hubert Nixon pastored the Baptist Church at that time.

Indian Creek also had a Methodist Church on the upper end of the creek; McNamer’s Chapel lasted from 1874 until 1946.

Some of the local establishments included a mill owned by Ezekiel Taylor located on Mill Branch before the Civil War. Charlie Taylor had a store on Indian Creek for many years until 1946.

The Hicks Post Office was located at the mill from 1890 until 1904, when the postal service incorporated the rural route system. Sam Walker was the local doctor at Indian Creek in the years following the Civil War.

Below is one history of Dekalb co. Tennessee with mention of Taylors, there are others, haven't gone thru them, only this one, when I get time I will attempt to check other's out. Histories such as these give some 'life' to the person, if you know what I mean. If you know other links, please share with your Taylor Cousins.
