Audrie,
Your "James Jefferson Taylor, b-1819" as well as an "Elijah Sutherland, b-1821" are listed in the same Hunt County, Texas militia in my 1,022-page book.
"Elijah Sutherland, b-1821" is mentioned on 5 pages of my book and I have 17 different "Sutherlands" in my 134-page Name Index.
I look forward to hearing from you.
