Sarah Knox Taylor (September 6, 1814 – September 15, 1835) was the daughter of Zachary Taylor, the 12th President of the United States. She was born in Louisville, Kentucky.
Sarah met her future husband, Jefferson Davis, at West Point Military Academy, where her father was serving as the commandant. Despite her father's disapproval of the relationship due to Davis being a cadet, Sarah and Jefferson married on June 17, 1835.
Tragically, Sarah contracted malaria and died just three months after their wedding on September 15, 1835, in West Point, New York. Her death deeply affected Jefferson Davis, who would go on to become the President of the Confederate States of America.
Legacy[edit | edit source]
Sarah Knox Taylor's short life and marriage to Jefferson Davis have been the subject of historical interest and speculation. Her early death and the impact it had on Davis's life have been explored in various historical accounts.
