Read More	This cemetery is on the right of Jackson Bypass Rd Rt 1311, approximately 1 2/10th of a mile from Rt 158 headed to Mt Carmel Rd. It is approximately 3/10 of a mile off Jackson Bypass Rd, using a farm path leading to cemetery. At the time the information was recorded (April 2006) from the grave markers, the cemetery was a large grassy, well maintained area. In addition to the graves noted here, there was an adult cement slab with nothing visible/readable as to individual. Also, there are possibly many other graves in this cemetery as there were many sunken spots large enough to have been graves. In the book "North Carolina Century Farms 100 Years of Continuous Agricultural Heritage" published by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture 1989, the following information was included regarding The Taylor Farm. "The Taylor place in Northampton County has been farmed by the Taylor family since before the Revolutionary War. It is in the Mount Carmel Church Community, four miles from Jackson, the county seat. The farm and woodland are about 400 acres. Joseph Taylor was the son of the first Joseph Taylor. His name appears on a roll dated September 9, 1778, Second N.C. Regiment, bearing the remark, "Sick-Valley Forge." He lived to come home to farm the land of his father. In reading old deeds of several generations, it becomes evident that sons bought and sold their divisions of the Taylor land to each other. The result being that one son became the final owner of the Taylor tract. The other sons bought farms in surrounding areas as they became settled and married. Money for education was provided in some of the wills. Cotton, peanuts and corn were raised on the farm. There was a corn mill and mill pond known as Taylor's Old Mill. A commissary was on the property. Account books dating back to 1837 are still in an old desk that had stood in the commissary. There was a slave graveyard on the land. The Revolutionary War house was allowed to fall down during the depression. There were two early ministers who were born and reared on the Taylor place and farmed the land. The Rev. Turner S. Taylor had twelve children. A house was built on the opposite side of the road from the Revolutionary War house. The date on the chimney reads 1814 with the name Boon. The bricks are handmade. There is an office building to the side of the house. Lucius Leroy Taylor and Mary Lewis Stephenson Taylor had a family of seven children. They added an additional wing to the house. The office beside the house served their family as a schoolroom for their children. The teacher was hired and lived in the house during the late 1800s. In 1885, Lucius Leroy Taylor invented, patented and manufactured a hand operated cotton press. It was called the Taylor Cotton Press and sold successfully. Lucius Taylor's daughters were college graduates and taught in their early years in the one room schoolhouse that had been built on adjoining property. They later became professors of Latin, French and mathematics at Littleton Female College, an early Methodist College for women in Littleton. Of the seven children, the four sons inherited shares of property in the Taylor place. The daughters were left nearby farms. The brothers sold their shares to each other with one son becoming sole owner, Lucius Henry Taylor. Because of ill health, this son needed to sell the land. The three sisters bought it in order to keep it in the family. It is owned today by the daughter of one of those ladies. Cotton, peanuts, corn and soybeans are crops now raised on this wonderful farm. There is a tree farm on the wooded portion. The soil of this land is referred to as Norfolk loom. The tenant houses have all been torn down to make way for modern farming. The old house stands empty of Taylors, but the land is close to the hearts of the Taylor lineage. It has never been rented. It is farmed by the Taylor family." The above info regarding the Taylor Farm was submitted by Mary Taylor Gay Haigwood for the "North Carolina Century Farms 100 Years of Continuous Agricultural Heritage" published by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture in 1989.
