1850 Cobb County, Georgia - Marietta District - October 1, 1850 - page125 492 - William Jones, age 23; farmer; $400; born SC Nancy, age 65; born SC Zachry Tailor, age 10; born GA It's a good theory, but there are no Taylors living near this Jones family, and in fact, no Taylors in this local town district at all. There are also, unfortunately, no Taylor families indexed in 1850 Cobb County who indicate that they were born in South Carolina. By the time of the 1860 census, there were several Taylors in Cobb who are shown as born in SC, but none of those appear to be the same as the Taylors in Cobb in 1850. There was one Taylor family indexed in 1840 Cobb: 1840 Cobb County, Georgia - District 846 - page 259 Fred. Taylor - 120001 - 20001 Joneses indexed in 1840 Cobb were Timothy Jones, District 897, page 248 and Hartwell Jones, District 911, page 244 Again, not enumerated in the same area as Frederick Taylor. I found Zachary indexed in 1870 Dade County, but have not been able to find him in the 1860 census. Without my having to look up his service record, can you tell me where he was living at the time of his enlistment? If you already have the census information from his 1860 enumeration, please disregard that question. 1870 Dade County, Gerogia - Militia District 974 - Trenton - June 30, 1870 - page 495 271 - Taylor, Zechariah, age 27, farm labor; born GA Nancy, age 26; keeping house; born GA I would suggest checking Cobb County probate records to find a reason for Zachary to be in the apparent guardianship of Nancy Jones, but we lost those early records during the recent ugly war. Sorry I can't be of more help.
