The following Bible records were copied from a book belonging to Isaac 
Green Taylor, who lived on Buson(sic) Swamp, Kinston RFD with his daughter, 
Mrs. Dave Worthington. He served three years in the Confederate Army, 
Company A, 40th Regiment in the heavy artillery. His first service was at 
Fort Fisher, from there he went to Smith's Island, from there to Fort 
Anderson, from there to the battle at Wise's Forks. At Wise's Forks two of 
his company were killed and some were captured. From there he went to 
Bentonville where many of his company were captured and also the flag, 
which was made by the ladies of Wilmington. The Yankees took off all he 
had, did not even leave him a suit of clothes. During Foster's raid, the 
Confederates burned up all his houses and outhouses, threw up breastworks 
and cut timber for stockades. The hardest fighting was at Perry's Branch 
near the County Home.
