NANCY2 TAYLOR (DANIEL1) was born Abt. January 1856 in GA, and died January 16, 1930 in GA. Buried Moores' Cemetery, Hoboken, GA.. She married (1) JOHN D. DOWLING Abt. 1877 in GA, son of JABEZ DOWLING and HONOR DAVIS. She married (2) HARLEY JACOB HICKOX Abt. 1885 in GA, son of DAVID HICKOX and SARAH ALTMAN. Notes for HARLEY JACOB HICKOX: Harley Jacob Hickox had first married Sarah Osteen and with her had: Vannie, Alfred, Edward, and Harley Jacob Jr. then Sarah Osteen died. Harley then married Nancy Taylor the young widow of John D. Dowling who also had children by her former marriage. Together Harley and Nancy had: Henry, Minnie, Lennie, Nancy and Mathew. Nancy already being the mother of, William, Lizzie, Ivin, Daniel, Jesse, and Sabra. Now Nancy and Harley raised these children up as siblings under one roof until they reached adulthood. Then some of Grandma Nancy's children that she brought into this marriage married some of Grandpa's children that he had brought into this marriage. The ones known to me to have married are: Sabra R. Dowling child of John D. Dowling and Nancy married as her third husband Alfred Hickox the child of Harley Jacob and Sarah Osteen. Alfred not only married Sabra R. Dowling but when she died he then went on to marry her sister, Lizzie called Eliza and at times Rat due to the size she was when she was born. Her 1/2 sibling Minnie Hickox always told us that she was about the size of a field Rat when she was born and that they were surprised given the times that she lived to adulthood. One other marriage between these children took place but the facts are now sketchy Vannie Hickox did marry at one time on of her Dowling step-brothers but we are not sure which one.

Please I am looking for other cousins who fit into these lines which connect to each other by this family connection. I would love to hear at long last from some of my Dowling and Hickox Cousins who I have never met. I happen to have a copy of an old Photo of Harley Jacob Hickox and Nancy Taylor hanging on my wall with Pride. I would be most honored to share what I have with any who share a common interest. I grew up knowing more about Grannie Irene Alvira Nettles daughter of Martin Nettles Jr. and his wife Martha Lee daughter of James Lee and Catherine Miller. I have a 8 X 10 of both Martha Lee (Nettles) and also George Lewis Lee her brother and the Father of my Martha Jane Lee (Johns) wife of Albert Lewis Johns. The Photo of George Lewis Lee hangs in the old home of Randle Ephraim Lee in Bachlott Community................he now has a hole in his forehead where Randle shot him one day! Well he only shot him after he was done dead. So don't worry. You see seems that a woods rat got himself inside the walls of the house and kept Randle up night after night well as you can imagine this was not good for a farmer back in that day and time, so one night Randle got the bright idea to shoot the rat dead, so he got his gun took aim and fired..............all grew quite. He at last got a good nights sleep. But in the morning when he awoke and looked up on the wall of the house to admire the nice photo of his Long ago dead Father, he was shocked to see that he had shot his beloved Father through the head! He was heartsick, as this is the only known photo of the man and he had been left the responsiblity to care for it and here he had done gone and shot him in the head. Story told by: Gail Moore as told to her by a son of Randle cousin to Gail. Thanks guys, Gail
