Who is the inspiration for General Taylor in the folk song "General Taylor" aka Carry Him To His Burying Ground aka Carry Him To The Burying Ground aka Walk Him Along Johnny? They say Stormy in the song, which makes me think of the American folktale about Stormalong John aka Alfred Bulltop Stormalong, but I was under the impression the song a) was British and b) predated the formation of the United States of America.
