From Indiana History:
Zachary Taylor, Fort Harrison, Indiana Territory, to General James Taylor, Newport, Kentucky
General James Taylor and Zachary Taylor were cousins. Per Wikipedia:
"Gen. James Taylor Jr. was Quartermaster General and paymaster of the Northwestern Army during the War of 1812, thus Newport became a vital center for war supplies."
Papers of General James Taylor are held at the Kentucky Historical Society.
