Betty, I go back to Nancy Ward also and Ludovic Grant. Go through the Daughter of Nancy (Elizabeth) who married Joseph Martin and then her daughter (Nancy) married Michael Hildebrand. Guess that we are probably cousins of somekind. I am guessing that you go through Catherine. I have cousins that descend out of Catherine. Always fun to meet a distant cousin.

Betty and Glee, I too am a descendant of Ludovic Grant. My line goes back from Flossie Gladys (Taylor) Kerns, Timothy William Taylor aka William L. Smith, then Eliza Fields, Richard Fields, Ezekiel Fields, Richard Fields, Susanna Emory, Mary Grant, and finally Ludovic Grant. At this time, I am searching for Timothy William Taylor's long lost wife, Maudie Mae (Blagg) Taylor (b:1880) (d: 1927). I have been told that she left Timothy and her children behind and ran off with another man also of Indian descent. I am seeking to find who she left with, where she is buried and who were her parents. Glee Krapf <gleek@ptd.net> wrote: Betty, I go back to Nancy Ward also and Ludovic Grant.
