Think some of my Taylor line was born in that county.

Even though my Taylor line began in France and moved to England, Scotland and finally Ireland, my 6th GGF Isaac Taylor (1710-1781) came to Virginia in 1746.  Some of my ancestors died in some of the following areas: Rockbridge County, VA or Washington and Carter County TN.
I was born in Carter County TN. There are two Taylor cemeteries in the county. Is anyone related to this line.
FYI some of my Taylor line:

James Patton Taylor
Aditha Taylor (1819-1849)
Nathaniel Greene Taylor (1819-1887)
William Brownlow Taylor (abt 1841-before 1901)
Andrew Taylor Sr. (1730-1787)

My Harr line originated from Germany in the 1700's.

I've done research for Germany, England, Ireland and Scotland. Did find out that one of my lines actually began in France and then went to England/Scotland and then to Ireland.

I had ancestors in the Revolutionary War: some were at the Battle of Kings Mountain.
I had ancestors on both sides during the Civil War. Some died of their wounds at hospitals after the battle, some died in prisons. Several made it back after the war. Did lots of research on my ancestors as to what they did. Had over 30 ancestors in the Civil War.
I had relatives in the Navy, Army and Air Corps. My dad was on an aircraft carrier (USS Wake Island) during WW II. He was in the Pacific and their ship was hit by a kamikaze plan and came close to being sunk. He was a signalman. He was in from 1942-1946.  I was in the USAF from 1969-1990-I was in purchasing/procurement; had two overseas tours: Okinawa for 18 months (1971-1973) and 4 years in England (1980-1964).

Interesting. I only know of 2 Isaac's. Isaac III (1753-`815), my 4th GGF and Isaac Nathaniel Taylor (1710-1781) my 6th GGF. There is an Isaac Taylor, Jr. born in 1734 and died in VA in 1801. There are some concerns over Capt Thomas Taylor.  One was born in 1574 and the other in 1607. The first one is my 10th GGF. The other one apparently is the father of Anne Taylor, born 1621, who married Miles Cary. I'd have to find out what relation that Thomas is. I've done lots of research on the Taylor line. The first bit of info I located was the "Taylor-Hendrix connection" which gives me lots of info on the connections in my home county-Carter County-in east TN. I also have two great uncles, Bob and Alf Taylor (brothers) who were Senator's and Governor's of TN.
I have 2 Andrew's. Andrew III (1787-1859) is my 3rd GGF and Andrew Sr (1731-1787) is my 5th GGF. There were several William Taylor's along the way. That seems to be a very common name just like John. I have several John's in another family line. My great, great grandfather is Caswell M. Taylor (1828-1859). His daughter, Julia Alice Taylor Hart (1850-1930) is my great grandmother.

I did my DNA in May 2019 but mainly Dykes and Harr: Y DNA. My main connections are Harr, Hart, Williams, Dykes, Taylor, Townsend.  The Taylor line married into the Hart family and the Cary's. I'm on ancestry.
