Edmund & Elizabeth McLendon were in Montgomery Co., NC in 1800 & 1810. By 1820, they were in Richmond Co. Around 1823, they moved to Anson County. Sarah had at least two brothers and two sisters: Jesse, John, Elizabeth (Mrs. Davis) and Mary "Polly" (Mrs. Roberson/Robinson, later Mrs. Redfearn). There may have been more children in the family.
Sallie married William Taylor (c.1794/1800-1848) around 1823. He was a son of Stephen Taylor (1750s-1824/5) and his wife Judith Yarbrough (c.1760-c.1849), who had moved from Johnston Co. to Anson Co. in 1813. William had served in the War of 1812.
Sallie and William had at least nine children: Elizabeth Ann Taylor (1824-1908, m. Joseph Steen), Edmund Gray Taylor (c.1826-1870s, m. Elizabeth Dean, CSA soldier), Ellen Taylor (born 1825/30, m. Elias Steen), unknown daughter born 1825/30, unknown daughter born 1830/35, John Thomas "Jethro" Taylor (c.1832/4-aft.1880), Mary Jane Taylor (1836-1882, m. Jeremiah Washington Beachum), Louisa Taylor (c.1838) and William Wilson Taylor (1840-1917, m. Sophronia Ellen Beachum, CSA soldier). They two unidentified daughters may have been named Sarah and Ida.
Sarah's husband, William Taylor, was murdered by a drunken neighbor in 1848. Sarah lived on until 1865, and in the months when the Confederacy was dying, she died, too. The privations visited upon the Southern population by the invading army probably had something to do with it.
