Looking for information on the parents of John Taylor b. 1854-1856 Hamilton Co. IL d. 8 April 1909 Mt.Vernon, Jefferson Co. IL. John married Miss Sarah Catherine Acord 18 Jan 1877 Hamilton, IL in the home of her father Martin Van Buren Acord. John and Catherine were last spoted on the 1880 Hamilton Co. IL census. I have not been able to find John on the 1870 census with his parents. There is a John Taylor listed with Benjamin & Mary Ann Rocket Taylor for the census years for 1860-1870, but I am told that their son John died in 1879. So I am at a loss to where our John Taylor's family was during those years. Like I said I KNOW that John married in 1877 in Hamilton and his mother was there because she gave her consent for him to marry. He was only 20 years old, while Sarah Catherine was 22. On John's obit it states that his brother William Taylor was living in Lovilla, Hamilton Co. IL at the time of John's death in 1909. Anyone here related to this William M. Taylor b. May 1853 his #2 wife was Ida b. April 1869. I believe she was married perviously to a man named Rogers. William was married 1st to a Nancy. This marriage may have ended in divorce. Thanks for your time. Theresa Kingsley Lancaster, CA
