Marquis Barton Taylor was the youngest of four children born to the Rev. Zachary Clay Taylor (1850-1919) and his wife Kate Stephens Crawford (1862-1894). His paternal grandparents were Archibald "Baldy" Washington Taylor and his wife Sarah Elizabeth Cordell, and his maternal grandparents were Rev. Marquis de Lafayette Crawford and his wife Emaretta Cara "Emma" Kimball.
Marquis' parents were Baptist Missionaries who went to Brazil in 1882. Apparently they were back in Texas, perhaps for a visit, when Marquis was born. His mother died in 1894 (not sure if she died in Brazil or Texas), and his father remarried the next year. Rev. Taylor continued as a missionary in Brazil until 1909, when he retired to Waco, Texas. He and his second wife and a daughter perished in the great hurricane that hit Corpus Christi, Texas in 1919.
