Were William David TAYLOR and Estes Lobenia Moose TAYLOR a childless couple? They were married in 1890 Catawba County, NC and Estes dies in 1896 Catawba County, NC and is buried in the same plot as her parents at St. James Lutheran Church Cemetery also in Catawba County. Could Estes TAYLOR have died in childbirth? There is a Robert Lee TAYLOR who died in 1985 and is buried in Eastview-Newton Cemetery; but neither of his parents are noted on his death certificate. Thank You. Thought maybe someone out there could help us determine if we are related to Robert Lee TAYLOR since William David TAYLOR is my wife's maternal grandfather via a second marriage. Ray
