was a younger brother of President Zachary Taylor. Born on May 4, 1796,
he joined the Army in the War of 1812, becoming a 1st Lieutenant
in 1814 at the age of 18. Honorably discharged after the war ended, Taylor
reenlisted in 1816 as 2nd Lieutenant Artillery. His father, Richard,
complained to President Madison that his son was reinstated at a lower rank to
no avail, even though Richard's grandfather was James Taylor, Jr., who was
President Madison's great-grandfather. Joseph later served in the Indian,
Mexican and Civil Wars, rising to the rank of Brigadier General. He
died in Louisville, Kentucky on June 29, 1864. The recipient of this letter,
Lieutenant JEFF JUSTICE, served as Quartermaster. Lightly creased.
2 horizontal folds, 1 at top of signature. Overall, in fine condition.
