F.W.Taggart - The subject of this sketch is a native of North Carolina, 
born January 27, 1810, where he was reared and educated at a 
subscription school.  His early life was passed on a farm.  In 1833, he was 
united in marriage to Miss Christina Toakley, also a native of North 
Carolina.  Ten children were born to them, six of whom are now living, four 
sons and two daughters, viz: Jesse R., F. W. M., John A., H.C., Tiriffa 
C. and Mary C.  In 1845 he came to Lafayette county, Missouri, and 
purchased the farm upon which he now resides, consisting of 166 acres of 
excellent land, for which he paid five dollars per acre.  Mr. Taggart is 
one of the early settlers of the county and has been closely identified 
with its interests since locating here.  Is energetic and enterprising, 
and by watchfulness and ecomony has secured for himself and family a 
pleasant and comfortable home.  Postoffice, Concordia.
