That is why they use it to prove paternity and to solve crimes. If the DNA doesn't match perfectly on all 37 markers you are not related to someone, except maybe way back 1000 years. All I know about Icella Tinsley or Celia Tinsley is that her father was Alfred Tinsley. He might be related to my Tinsleys.

If so has he ever submitted a swab for DNA testing? I have always suspected that Jesse b. 1791 and my gg-grandfather, Cornelius Alexander TAYLOR b. 1794 in Wythe Co., VA were related in some way. Exactly how I don't know. However, if your grandfather is a TAYLOR, would you ask if he would be willing to do a DNA test. I can arrange for that. He has to have the surname, TAYLOR, however. The cost is something like $175. It would be worth it to me to have him tested. We could do that after the first of the year. Please let me know. Joyce Taylor Collins La Palma, CA joycetcollins@cs.com p.s. What this DNA test is is a simple mouth swab that is done a couple of times. I would get his address (or yours if he lives close by you). The kit would arrive, he would provide the simple mouth swabs, and then you mail in the DNA Test Kit. When the processing is completed, it would be posted and I would be notified. I would then let you know. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

How are you related to the Taylor's? I am related to Jesse Riley Taylor (b.1791 Wythe Co.,VA d.12 March 1862 Barbourville, Knox Co.,KY). He married Nancy Green (1802-1894) in 1818 in Ashe Co. They had 11 kids and their son Griffith Taylor (went by Grief) was my ggg grandfather, his son Andrew Taylor was my gg grandfather & his son William Franklin Taylor was my great grandfather & his son (b.1924) is my grandfather. He lives in OH, as do I. More than glad to share info I have if you need anything. Can you keep me posted if you find info on the Taylor's?

F. C NOLAN Harlan County Pioneer Meets Death at Chad Sunday Afternoon C. F. C. Nolan, 79, retired businessman and one of the last of the sturdy pioneer stock that were responsible for the founding of Harlan County, was killed by a switch engine near his home at Chad Sunday afternoon. Mr. Nolan was returning from a walk and stepped back on the railroad track after letting a fast freight train pass him, when he was struck in the back by a switch train that was already behind the freight. He was placed in the caboose of the train and rushed to the Lynch Hospital but died before it was reached. Mr. Nolan, known all over this section of the mountains as "Uncle Chad" was loved and respected by all that was accorded the privilege of calling him friend. His home at Chad was a haven of rest and entertainment for all who passed that way, rivalling the late lamented Col. Taylor for the title of a "Prince of Hospitality" Uncle Chad was born March 5, 1845 and served during the Civil Was on the Home Guards, being actively engaged on several occasions. On one occasion, Mr. Nolan, who was then just a boy, found on the battlefield, a saddlebag containing a part of the records of General John H. Morgan. He was married in 1863 to Miss Louisa Turner who lived on Cloverfork where Evarts is now located. Mrs. Nolan died January 18, 1918. In the early years of his life, Mr. Nolan was in the employ of a number of large corporations in obtaining mineral rights in Harlan. He also engaged in the lumber and stave business before coal mines were developed or the railroad had entered. He was elected to the Legislature for two successive terms, serving from 1900 to 1904 as Representative from this district. During his stay there, Mr. Nolan was an active adherent of the proposed plan to build a new State Capitol. He also introduced the bill in the House to change the name of the county seat of Harlan County from Mount Pleasant to Harlan. Mr. Nolan's grandfather, John Nolan, was an aide on the staff of General George Washington during the Revolutionay War and was given a grant of land for his services that included the present site of Middlesboro, much of Bell County and a part of Harlan. The family moved to that property from their home at Leesburg, Virginia. Chad, Ky and Nolansburg, Ky were both named in honor of Mr. Nolan, whose early efforts and foresight had made possible the development of that section of the valuable coal fields of Harlan. No other man in Kentucky had the distinction of having two railroad stations named for him. Uncle Chad was the last of his generation, lovable, kindly always, neighborly, and hospitable and people swore by his integrity and honesty. Harlan County and eastern Kentucky mourn the loss of the steadfast patriot. Mr. Nolan was the father of 14 children, five of whom are living. The survivors are: Mrs. Betty Marshall, Beggs, Okla.; Dr. J. W. Nolan, Harlan; Mrs. Lucretia Davisworth, Creech, Ky, ; Mrs. Berry Howard, Wallins, and Gillis Nolan, Creech.
