Isaac Tabor was a Methodist Circuit Rider Preacher. He became a Preacher in 1807 under the ministry of Rev. Tobias Gibson, pioneer of Methodism in the Mississippi Territory. In 1816 - 1829, they are found in Pike Co., MS. The couple had 9 children, Winnifred, Isaac, Francis Asbury, Hudson, Nathan Sims, Catherine L., Minerva Angelia (or Angelina), Lavinia Harmon, and Nancy W. They travelled from MS to LA
In 1837, the Tabor family, including 8 children, came to Texas. Family tradition says that Isaac built a raft in LA and floated to Texas, landing in Jefferson Co.
In 1860, an elderly Isaac and Susannah Tabor are in Caldwell Co., TX in the home of their son, Nathan Tabor. Isaac, 73, died that year and is buried in Old Prairie Lea Cemetery, near Prairie Lea, Caldwell Co., TX.
Two years after her husband's death, in 1862, Susannah died and is buried in Danville-Shepard Hill Cemetery. It is unknown exactly where she died, but she probably had come back to Danville to be with her daughter, Minerva, during the Civil War since Minerva's husband, Peter Belles Irvine, was away at war.
Susannah's grave is marked by a raised, brick, "Louisiana-style" tomb.
