Dear Dave and Julie, I finally read all that you both had sent which I had to copy off onto paper to really get the gist of it all. I think that we definitely have a match. To recap what I sent previously: 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 (still don't know about him or hera!) Martha Johnson (this is Martha Melinda Taylor Johnson!) Mary A. Taylor (this is Mary Abigail Taylor) F. J. Taylor, his mark (this must be Francis Jane Taylor) L. J. Taylor (is this Lock M. Taylor?) J. H. Taylor, his mark (is this James B. Taylor or John Thomas Taylor?) W. J. Taylor (is this William Jackson Taylor!) G. F. Taylor, his mark (is this George Franklin Taylor!) E. E. Priddy (is this the husband of Esibel Elizabeth Taylor?) Witness: J. T. Thompson and D. G. W. Hollis Does this make sense to you? Mollee
