Horsley. The key would seem to be the E. Bloomfield who was the informant. Since James H. was living with Richard and Charlotte Bloomfield just two years before his death in 1912 I believe the informant was probably Charlotte. Neither James fits the age given at death but if the informant did not know who his parents were it is doubtful they knew his exact age. You are right about Jame T. Horsley, his brother was William Horsley (about 1811) and Lucinda was the daughter of William and therefore a niece to James T. William and James were sons of Taylor Horsley who apparently died in the latter part of 1836. Taylor was not a brother of the elder James Taylor Horsley who fought in the Revolutionary War as some researchers have expressed. He was the son of Matthew Horsley who appears to be a brother of the elder James Taylor Horsley. If Matthew and the elder James Taylor Horsley were in fact brothers then the Taylor Horsley who died in 1836 was a nephew to the Revolutionary Was James. Hope this helps, David K.
