(according to the 1850, 1860 & 1870 Coffee Co. census), I would think that a sister of his would certainly be too old to be the wife of William D. Powell who was born in 1859. Do your records show that his sister was born about 1859? It would make more sense to me that Richard Opey Taylor probably named a daughter after his sister and that would be the daughter that I am referring to that married William D. Powell. Regretfully, I am one of those researchers who does not document every single bit of my information so I cannot provide you with my source. I can, however show some census records that lead to my speculation of the parents of Judie Ann "Babe" Taylor.

This and other data is why I concluded that both Richard Ope and Judith Ann were children of Wm G. & Julia A. Ryals Taylor. Anyone have a copy of marriage records showing the parents? I was simply using the process of elimination, but, could be wrong too.

Winnette, It appears to me that the Ope that you are referring to is the same one that appears on the 1880 and 1900 census that Nancy Copes wrote about: ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nancy Copes" <necopes@yahoo.com> To: <alcoffee@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 22, 2007 1:15 PM Subject: Re: [ALCOFFEE] More COON connections in Cool Springs Cemetery See if these sources refer to Richard Ope. 1880 he's R O and 1900 Ope R 1880 Alabama > Coffee > Elba > District 43 Family #355 R.O.

Maybe my Opey Taylor, born in 1823, is a brother of William G. Taylor, born in 1820. Do you know if that's possible?
