Micah Taul

During the War of 1812, he raised and outfitted troops, serving as a colonel of Wayne County Volunteers.

In 1814 Taul was elected as a Democratic-Republican to the Fourteenth Congress, serving one term (March 4, 1815 – March 3, 1817). He declined to be a candidate for renomination in 1816.

Taul resumed his law practice. He moved in 1826 with his family to Winchester, Tennessee, on the southern border of the state, and continued the practice of law.^[1]

In 1846 he moved to Mardisville, Alabama, an area that had many cotton plantations, and had once been home to the Creek people. He operated a plantation and used enslaved labor to do so, until his death there on May 27, 1850.^[3] He was interred on his plantation at Mardisville.^[3]

He was the grandfather of Taul Bradford, who represented Alabama in Congress and served the Confederacy in the American Civil War.^[3]
