(who originated in the "Goose Creek" area).
Though both have the surname Taylor,
it has not been proven that Cornelius and Isaac are related.

War of 1812
According to "A History of Knox County, Kentucky," by K.S. Sol Warren
(Barbourville, KY: Daniel Boone Festival, Incorporated, 1976, p. 167),
Samuel Cobb
[son of Ambrose & Rachel(Black) Cobb]
(clicking on will open a separate window)
was a private in
the 8th Company, under Captain Ambrose Arthur,
part of the 13th Regiment of Kentucky Volunteers
commanded by Colonel William Dudley.

The company was formed in Barbourville as early as March 1812
and marched during the spring of 1813.
The company also included
CORNELIUS TAYLOR

Gathering at Cincinnati, the 13th Regiment was one of four such units
commanded by General Green Clay that marched on to northern Ohio to
relieve General William Henry Harrison on the Maumee River. The enemy
was defeated at Fort Meigs, but, in what came to be called the battle of
Dudley's Defeat (May 5, 1813), the Kentucky force was trapped and nearly
wiped out after it pursued the British and Indians with excessive zeal.
Taylor in particular was wounded and taken prisoner.
What was left of the regiment managed to escape across the river
and joined the 10th Kentucky Regiment under Colonel William Boswell.
(Based on Warren, pp. 160-169.)
