Died:
Elizabeth is shown as a widow in 1900 census living with son Jeff and wife June Gentz Hargraves. Donna Storz explains: "He did die on 28 April 1913 of carbolic acid poisoning (suicide). Elizabeth says 'widowed' in 1900 census probably because she didn't want to say divorced. She filed for divorce in April 1898 citing 'unkind, harsh and tyranical [sic] treatment' toward her. I have a copy of the original complaint which her great, great grandson provided me. According to the complaint they stopped living together in April 1896 as she couldn't stand the ill treatment which had begun within 6 years of their marriage. His treatment of her was 'excessive, cruel & outrageous and of such a nature as to render their ever again living together insupportable, and that she is entitled to a divorce.'"

Levi married Elizabeth Ann Gallier on 12 Dec 1860 in Jefferson Co, Texas. Elizabeth (daughter of Joseph Gallier, Sr and Mary Catherine Hayes) was born on 27 Jun 1844 in Louisiana; died on 08 Aug 1901 in Jefferson Co, Texas; was buried in Burrell Cem, Taylor Bayou, Labelle/Fannett, Jefferson Co, Texas.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Census: 21 Jul 1860, Beaumont (District 4), Jefferson Co, Texas

Notes:

"Not everyone in the Beaumont area was sympathetic to
Confederate cause, James Gilbert Taylor and his wife Elvira
Chase, was a New York Mariner who bought land on Taylor's Bayou and became captain of the schooner Glide, freighting molasses and hides from beaumont to Galveston. He knew all the twists and turns of local waterways.

When the Civil War began, torn by conflict of loyalties, he
nevertheless became the pilot for a Union blockage boat seeking to strangle the movement of ships from southern ports like Sabine Pass. Locals saw Taylor as a traitor, and $10,000 Confederate bounty was offered for his arrest. His son, Walter, joined the Confederacy in Spaight's Battalion.

Taylor piloted the Clifton into Sabine Pass on Sept 8, 1863, only to meet the deadly artillery fire of Dick Dowling's Davis Guards. Its tiller rope severed, the Clifton ran aground and was captured. A fellow defector, Clay Smith of Orange, pilot of the Sachem, suffered a similar fate. Taylor is thought to have escaped to the Union gunboat Arizona, which picked up a few survivors and then fled to open sea. Taylor died under unknown
circumstances in 1864. A number of his descendants live in
Beaumont and the Taylor's Bayou area."
