Seeking parentage of greatgreatgrandfather John J. TAYLOR, b. ca 1808, MD. married Elizabeth STANSBURY in Franklin Co. IN on 18 Dec 1830. They moved on to Illinois by 1850 (census) and then into Iowa by 1853. Daughter Mary Ann was born 1832 in IN. Son William born 1834, Ohio. Daughter Hannah born 1837, IN. Daughter Amanda E. born 1842, Illinois. Son Joseph W. born 1845, IN. Daughter Rachel J. born 1747, Illinois. This movement leads me to believe they were connected somehow with the railroad. I think that John had brothers named Robert, William Lewin (or Levin), Samuel and Perry, because these names all settled, (along with John and Elizabeth) in Henry Co. IA by 1854. I would appreciate any contact and will gladly exchange any data that I have. Thank you. Cleo Wilcox <cleowilc@pacbell.net
