Taylor family. Taylor family papers, 1817-1872.

Title: Taylor family papers, 1817-1872.

This collection is made up of papers belonging to Bernard Taylor and his descendants. It includes deeds, a handwritten eulogy, a marriage certificate, and school awards. Of particular interest are the Yardley Taylor broadside and a letter from Carrie Taylor (1833-1904) to her sister from 1864. The broadside was published in 1857, and though the author's name has been torn from the copy, it is likely that it was written by James F. Trayhern, an attorney and supporter of slavery. Trayhern publically denounced Yardley Taylor's abolitionist activities and accused him of subverting the Fugitive Slave Act by helping slaves escape to Pennsylvania. The broadside represents a bitter and personal attack on Taylor, and calls his actions "Monstrous!" On 3 December 1864, Carrie Taylor wrote a letter to her sister in Maryland sharing the details of the Burning Raid and its ramifications for their family and community. The Burning Raid was the Union military's attempt to destroy supplies and disrupt support for Mosby's Rangers in the Loudoun Valley. The letter tells of barns burned, horses and pigs taken, and crops destroyed by Union soldiers. It also shows continuing support for the Union among the Quakers, even in the face of military operations.
