James Taylor Jr. (banker)

James Taylor V (1769–1848) was an American banker, Quartermaster general, and one of the wealthiest early settlers of Kentucky.

They reached Newport June 20 but couldn't find lodging, so he stayed at Fort Washington in Cincinnati.

His enslaved men worked through the summer to clear 16 acres (65,000 m2) in fields along the Licking River, plant two corn crops, and build a small cabin on lot no.

James Taylor V and his wife were members of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Newport, on the Courthouse Square.

Just a few years later, Gen. Taylor's grandson established the wealthy area of East Row, a collection of elegant homes.

Bellevue (the Taylor mansion) was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 22, 1976.
