Before his estate was settled, his wife, Anna moved to Texas. The following is quoted from"orphans Court Records ( Abstracted of Wills and Estates (1812-1859-Marion County, Ms"by E Russ Williams, Jr.) "page 206- Heirs at law due ortions from the sale of the estate of Charles Taylor, deceased: Ann Taylor, the widow, of Marion County: Helena Slade, wife of the petitioner; Sarah Byrd, wife of Donnon Byrd; Charles Rouse, Hester Ann Rouse, Sabra Ann Rouse; and Caroline Rouse, all of Marion County, and Keziah Culpepper, supposed to reside in the State of Lousiana.
