Dorothy, Ah, yes, I have heard of John Kaylor and Catherine Haines in my 26 years of research. I have a partial family sheet for them but it sure doesn't sound like the same family? Only thing familiar is the spouse - Catherine Haines. I am going to post this to the Kaylor Mail List and maybe someone can help us sort out the difference here. I know we have some Pike Co IL Kaylor's on the List. We even have different Counties in OH. Not sure, without looking , where Ross Co. is in relation to Preble Co.? Some of my sources say the IGI at Family History Library. John Kaylor b 1772 VA; d 1843 Ross Co. OH; m 1804 Catherine Haines b 12 Jul 1789; d 7 May 1867 Pike Co IL Children: 1-George - b 21 Mar 1812 MD; d 3 Dec 1902 Pike Co., IL; m 25 Dec 1836 Ross Co. OH Lydia HULL 2-Mary Ann - b 21 Oct 1814 MD; d 6 Apr 1900 Pike Co., IL; m 20 Apr 1836 Ross Co OH Levin HULL 3-Jacob - b 16 Apr 1818 Alleghany Co MD (or 22 Dec 1817 MD); d 4 Mar 1900 Macon Co IL m Rachel STREET 28 Jan 1841 Ross Co. OH 4-Lewis F - m 25 Jan 1852 Pike Co. IL Mary S. Shelton 5David - b 24 May 1824 Alleghany Co. MD; d 16 Apr 1886 Pike Co IL; m 10 Jun 1852 Mary Elizabeth Browning in Pike Co IL 6-Samuel - b 2 Sep 1831 OH; m 20 Nov 1854 Pike Co IL Eleanor Bradbury 7-Thomas - b 19 Sep 1833 Ross Co OH; d 30 Sep 1923 Pike Co IL; m 5 Oct 1865 Pike Co IL Maria McLaughlin 8-Nicholas - b 1835 Ross Co OH; m 26 Mar 1868 Adams Co IL Nancy Cratts 9-Hannah - m 22 Jan 1835 Ross Co OH William Hall Hankins 10-Malinda 11-Abner 12-John Lee 13- Jane - m Willis Guy So everyone, what do you think compared to what Dorothy sent below?
