Taylor family plantations explain where Lanier’s family settled after slavery

Evidence

Learning that Benjamin Franklin Taylor’s brother Jesse Peter Taylor lived in Mount Meigs explained how Tena, Renty Taylor Thompson’s mother, arrived in Mount Meigs as well. It was ultimately discovered that his plantation was on Pike Road—the same road in Mount Meigs where my mother and many other of my family members lived. And where the Antioch Church is. — Tamara Lanier, From These Roots, 815
