Each week, on Sunday, I will select an Estate Folder from the Estate files of Chesterfield County and discuss its contents. No known estates exist for the period before the Civil War. They were destroyed with the burning of the Courthouse. There are a few “Equity Records” in the State Archives. Do not overlook this valuable resource if you are looking for ancestors in Chesterfield County, South Carolina.
Today we will be looking at the following Estate folder:
Estate Folder #601
Images 978 thru 999
F. P. Taylor 1

The estate folder (#601) for Franklin Pierce Taylor contains a copy of his Last Will and Testament, a codicil to the will and an inventory of his estate.
His estate was left to his widow, Cornelia E. Rivers Taylor and his three sons, James Oscar, Edwin R. and Karl F. Taylor.
Sadly, Cornelia and Edwin R. passed away before the estate was settled. Edwin R. passed away in August 1899 and his Mother, Cornelia E. died 1 March 1906. Then in August 1913, Karl Franklin passed away leaving James Oscar the sole surviving heir to the estate of his father, Franklin Pierce Taylor.
