Just wanted to share this with you. Just stumbled on it on www.findagrave.com <ww.findagrave.com> This has information about some of the folks who moved to Missouri and then further west. Keep in mind that Susanna's mom, Nancy Evans Strode was the daughter of Samuel Evans and Mary Foreman. And Samuel Evans was the son of Hugh Evans and Lavinia Simpson. [I will post the census which shows this family that is attached to the website] ============================ http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=31966013 <http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=31966013> Susanna Strode Taylor Birth: Mar., 1839 Jackson County Missouri, USA Death: 1905 Lincoln County Oklahoma, USA Susanna was the daughter of John Foreman and Nancy (Evans) Strode of Jackson County, Missouri. On June 6, 1867 she married Lindsey L Taylor in Jackson County. After burying their eldest daughter Nancy L "Nannie" Taylor in Missouri, the family migrated to the Cherokee Nation land of Oklahoma Territory. Susanna passed away between 1900-1910.

His father Thomas Taylor had passed away that January, so extra money was probably needed by the family. Lindsey did inherit a portion of the Taylor land upon his father's death, as did his brothers. On June 6, 1867 Lindsey L Taylor married Susannah Strode in Jackson County. She was the daughter of John Foreman and Nancy (Evans) Strode who had migrated to Missouri and settled in Jackson County about the same time as the Taylors. Things were never the same after the horrid experiences the family had endured during the Civil War, and after Lydia died they all decided to try their luck in some of the new country that opened up to white settlers. The family units consisted of Taylors, Riners, Boones, Vaughns, and Halls. Some settled in Bates County, Missouri where more of the Boone family were already established. Some went to Texas, and others on over to Oklahoma Territory. The ones that had no luck farming or raising livestock in those areas migrated back north to Kansas. Lindsey and Susan and their kids settled in Sledgeville, Texas County, Oklahoma. They had buried one daughter, Nannie L Taylor, in Jackson County before they left. Her barely readable gravestone can be seen in the Blue Ridge Cemetery in Grandville. Other children of Lindsey and Susans that have been identified are: Nettie, M Mary, Arizona, Lessie M, and Elijah W.
