I was still researching David's information when you sent this. Let me also add to the confusion: ray taylor tnemelcy@wk.net Mollee Wrote: double parentheses my comments...((ray)) When the estate of John Miller Hankins was settled the 4th day of September A. D. 1876, the following persons signed the settlement: (parentheses are my comments) Signed: Martha Hankins, her mark (this is Martha Morton, wife of dec.) E. J. W. Moore (husband of Eliza J. Hankins) ((???)) F. M. Hankins (is this Stephen Franklin ?) ((???)) M. E. Taylor, his mark ((My comments below are and if...these people were the children of William Burton Taylor and Tabitha Jane Hankins and that she was a daughter of John Miller Hankins????

((James Agustus (Jim) Johnson)) Mary A. Taylor (Mary A. Hankins?, which Taylor did she marry?) ((could be Mary Abigail Taylor who married Joe Holladay probably after the death of John Miller Hankins)) F. J. Taylor, his mark ((Frances Jane Taylor)) L. J. Taylor ((could be Lucian (Lock) M???.

Taylor, his mark ((George Franklin Taylor)) E. E. Priddy ((I am not sure who this is???)) Witness: J. T. Thompson and D. G. W. Hollis Who are these Taylors? They are evidently heirs of John Miller Hankins but the only Taylor marriage into the family that I know for certain is that of Martha Caroline Hankins who married John B. Taylor. I don't have a spouse listed for Martha's sister, Mary A. Hankins, so she could be the Mary A. Taylor who is listed as an heir.
