Dan I've picked up some interesting facts about Zachary TAYLOR in the encyclopedia but haven't come to a conclusion. The father of Zachary was Lt. Colonel Richard TAYLOR. There is a Richard TAYLOR mentioned in the article, but just the name, no facts. And this Richard would be a ggggch. of James TAYLOR, I think. At least he's in the 6th generation. Too bad there are no dates in the article. It was fun working it all out from what he wrote, but there's lots of unknown names, mostly women who m. someone important, I guess. There's a "Junius Penn HUNT" mentioned. I wonder if they mean "Julius"? I've never heard of the name "Junius" before. Oh well. Where did you find the info on James TAYLOR? I'd like to read it, too . I also found out that Zachary TAYLOR is a 2nd cousin of James MADISON and a 4th cousin once removed of Robert E. LEE and 4th cousin three times removed of Franklin D. ROOSEVELT. Boy, these people really hung together! A dau. of Zachary TAYLOR and Margaret Mackall SMITH, Knox TAYLOR, married Lt. Jefferson DAVIS. But she died of malaria within 3 months of her marriage. Zachary & Margaret named their only son Richard. Isn't there a website that gives the genealogies of U.S. Presidents? I found Royal Genealogies so there must be an equivalent for the United States! But I can't find it! Pat
