Correction: I meant to say Nancy Faircloth is NOT among the list of children I have for Abraham Faircloth.

However, I am descended from Abraham Faircloth who came to Holmes County around 1848 from Georgia. He married Rebecca Peters. I think your Nancy is likely somehow related to him. She is among the list of children I have for him. I think, also, you might be wrong about her age. If she was born as early as 1820, it's highly unlikely she had a daughter in 1872- when she was 52. > > Abraham came to Holmes County and 2 of his brothers followed, Isaac and Jacob. Perhaps she was the daughter of one of these 2 men. You may want to look in Laurens County census records to see if you can find a Nancy who was about her age on the 1850 census. Laurens County is where Abraham is from. > > OR...a very distinct possibility is that Nancy was a nickname. > > Finally, it's possible that the person giving the information on the death certificate was simply incorrect. A death certificate is only as reliable as the person who originally gave the information. Is the informant listed on the certificate? If so, do you recognize the name as a close relative of Rachel Taylor?

Florida death certificate for Rachel Taylor, born around 1872 died in 1929 and buried in Red Hill Cemetery. It lists her father as Jim (James) Taylor -- my great-great-great grandfather and mother as a Nancy Faircloth. The name Nancy Faircloth is new to me. > > Has anyone heard of a Nancy Faircloth possibly born in Georgia, I suspect around 1820-1835?? > > > > In all census records for Holmes County Jim Taylor's wife is listed as Evelina or Eveline.

The only Nancy I have found associated with the Faircloths in my records so far is a Nancy Altman. Isaac Faircloth was living in her household on the 1860 Holmes County Federal Census. Holmes County, State of Florida, 22nd day of July, 1860, Ponce de Leon post office, pg. 719 14. 155/155 Nancy Altman 60 w domestic 350 SC 15. Mathias Trubs 18 w serving 75 SC 16 Isaac Faircloth 41 w serving GA It seems she would have been a little too old to marry him but who knows. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
