Anthony Taylor (Anton Schneider)

ANTON SCHNEIDER came to the United States from Hanover in 1830 at the age of 12. By 1850 he had Anglicized his name to ANTHONY TAYLOR, had a family, and was in what is now West Virginia; ten years later he had a second wife, the family had grown, and they lived in Arkansas. About 1869 they moved to the Oatmeal area of Burnet County, Texas, where Anthony lived until his death in 1905. At that time he had eight living children: Albert Taylor, Francis Marion Taylor, Mary Virginia Davis, Jerome B Taylor, Margaret C Peppers, Rheinhalt Taylor, Rose Ollie Davidson, and Martha Jane Pruett. What happened to sons Creed and Henry after 1860 is not known. This book is about Anthony, his four wives (only two of who had children by Anthony), and his descendants. Photographs of many of them are shown. 123 pages; Everyname Index.
