Lechary Taylor was born in Orange county, in Vir- @inks, in May, 1784. Mis father, Colonel Richard Tay- Jor, was @ descendant of one of tho earlicst settlers of the “ Old Dominion,” and remarkable for hardy and ‘impetuous courage, He was one of the original set- ‘ers in Kentucky, where he resided, on his estate, | near Lexington, till his death, in 1920, in the “dark and bloody ground.’ Renowned for his desperate en- eounters with the Indians, ae a prominent maa in oivil life, holding many offices ta ti is adoption, and serving in several of the national Blec- toral Colleges.

Alls carly edacation, and that of his brothers, was conducted by Mr. Elisha Ayres, & native of Norwich, Connecticut, where he is now living, at am advanced age. Zachary, in youth, was quick fm learning, and still patient in study. He improved the full benofit of his natural abilities, by adding to them the advantage of studions and methodical habits. His vemperameut was ardent; and yet he was firm in pursuing what he commenced ; and his careful and thoughtful observa- tion led him fully to determine what he could do, be- fore he undertook it, and then to pursue It to the end. Zachary looked forward frem his youth, to the army, | as his future ecene of labor and fame. This was a fu- ture which was sure to present itself to the son of Col. Richard Taylor, educated ina border tract, amid the excitement of continued Indian forays, In his ears were continually being repeated, anecdotes of stirring adventures ; and aa he came forward into youth, while the clouds were gathering, which at last broke in the Jest with Great Britain, it is not to be wondered that his active and sanguine disposition looked to the rotcesion of arms as the most—perhaps the only Spee od hase bich a nee serve his eoun- ty. m spirit was necesar! acy of the founders of thie republic to their follo: ——- In the year 1807 occurred the memora!

The re- sults of bis engagements were most important; wnd it may indeed be sald that they finished the Florida war, The appreciation of Col Taylor's services which the prrcement and people entertained. was marked by his vot ap) ment Brigadier General, n the battle of Okee-Chobee.” After the battle, Col.
