Taylor
Mary Maunu February 13, 2009
Looking for information on George Badger Taylor killed by an assassin on Aug 15, 1884 at Beaver Lake in Crockett County Texas. He was born in NY in 1840 and is listed in the 1880 census as living in Bandera, Texas.
A book written in 1899 has the Taylor family history and this is where I found the reference to his death. Another Taylor descendant had in his history that his brothers murdered him. Any info is appreciated.
