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.
