I have a variety of multi-generational collateral connections to the BINGHAMS, MILLS, PATTERSONS, WARRENS, HAMMANDS, RICE, HUTCHINS, MEREDITH-MERIDA, GAMBREL, MESSER, etc. etc. through the marriages of the children of Cornelius and Sally WALKER TAYLOR. The James "Frank" WARREN who at one point was married to Thursann BROWN is a relative, for example. Not that I think he was worth powder and lead to blow himself up with as the expression goes. He was married multiple times (something like 12 or so). Was found guilty of prostitution or running a house along with another relative and on top of it all, was most probably guilty of incest with his own daughter. I generally just accept what all these folks did and go on but this man "took the cake" as they say. If you trace him backwards, you end up with TAYLORs back to Mary Ann TAYLOR b. 1815 married James Henry WARREN II. Same for the PATTERSONS who were married to some of the TAYLORS. Somewhere in the mix I also have a BROWN-TAYLOR marriage. James "Frank" WARREN was the TAYLOR equivelant in marriages to old Henry BROWN married to the PRINCE female and so many others he could hardly keep track of them or all his children. However, James WARREN had more marriages than Henry BROWN did. Lots of my TAYLORs lived in the area off Alex Creek and Upper Stinking Creek where originally Cornelius TAYLOR's land was in the area bordering on Bell Co. and to upper end in Clay Co.

First beginning with Thursann BROWN, dau. of Adaline BROWN who was born abt. 1877 in Knox Co. On the 1880 Knox Co., KY Adeline BROWN is in the home of her parents, Thursann BINGHAM BROWN and Steve BROWN. I don't know where her children were. She was to have had: l. George NORTON b. Jan 1873 by George NORTON and 2. Thursann b. 1877 and Cordelia b. May 1883. These two were by Elijah HOBBS. Adeline is in Dwelling 65-69 and in Dwelling 68-72, there is Elijah HOBBS married to a Margaret with several kids. Now we move forward to the 1900 Knox Co. Dwelling 64-70 BROWN, Adeline, 50, single, 3 born; 3 living, b. kY; father b. VA; mother b. KY . .George, 24, son, b. KY (by George NORTON) . .Sarah Ann, 22, dau, b. KY (assume this is Thursann by Elijah HOBBS By the time of the 1910 Sarah is married to Luther PATTERSON and living on Middle Fork Road of Upper Stinking Creek Dwelling 21-21 PATTERSON, Luther, 21?, head, b. KY (he married more than once to other BROWNS) . .Sarah, 30, 3 born; 2 living, b. KY . .Frank, 16, son, b. KY (said to be fathered by Frank WARREN, Sr.) . .Colson, 7, b. 1902, b. KY (Colson was said to be fathered by Silas COMBS When she married, her marriage record gives her as Thursday Ann BROWN and gives her mother as Adaline BROWN. Gives his parents as: Wilkerson PATTERSON and Lucy Ann LEWIS PATTERSON. On the 1920 Knox Co. - Hubbard Dwelling 24-24 Sarah seems to have finally settled on the given name of: Thursann: PATTERSON, Luther, 46, b. KY . .Thursan, 47, wife, b. KY . .Colson, 17, son, b. KY . .Sudie, 8 yrs 3 months (fathered by Luther PATTERSON b. Sep 1911 in Knox Co., KY) DEATH RECORD FOR THURSAANN BROWN PATTERSON Age: 40; birthdate: unknown Death date: 2-5-1932 in Knox Co., KY; gives mother as: Adline BROWN; husband: Luther PATTERSON; mistakenly gives her father as: George PATTERSON when we have earlier been told it was: Elijah HOBBS. As for your Sarah Jane BROWN, it interesting that when she married in Clay Co., KY on 8-16-1910, File 35 the record says: EDWARDS, Pleas to Sarah Jane MESSER NOTE: Did Sarah Jane BROWN had an earlier marriage to a MESSER and then a marriage to Pleas EDWARDS? On the 1920 Clay Co. Dwelling 160-160 EDWARDS, Pleas, 27, head, b. KY . .Jane, 30, wife, b. KY . .Mossie, 14, dau, b. KY (this child would have been born outside of the 1910 marriage to Pleas EDWARDS so who knows perhaps the father was Silas COMBS) . .Maudie, 8, da, b. KY I can tell you that on the 1930, Mossie shows up married to Tip EDWARDS and the KBI shows that the child, Ottis, age 6 was b. 10-12-1923 in Clay Co. and her maiden name was listed as: Mossie COMBS. Others born were: Colson EDWARDS 2-1-1935 in Clay; Alta EDWARDS b. 6-22-1943 Earl EDWARDS b. 6-13-1946 and she was a Mossie COMBS on those births. As of the 1930, she had given birth to Alice, age 3 and a David age 6 months. . .McKinley, 6, b. KY (b. 2-15-1914 in Clay) . .Lucy J., 3 yrs , b. KY (b. 6-10-1916 in Clay) Also later had: William EDWARDS in Clay b. 11-2-1928. William died of accidental drowning in Clay Co. on 6-27-1949. Parents listed as: Sarah Jane BROWN and Pleas EDWARDS Have you checked Mossie's death cert to see who is listed as her mother and father. That is where these things usually show up if no where else. I cannot locate Silas (any spelling) in 1900 and 1910 in Knox, Clay, Leslie, Bell Co.'s Joyce Taylor Collins La Palma, CA p.s. Who were the parents of your Sarah Jane BROWN MESSER? EDWARDS?

We also discussed how they named their children it seems after their siblings..and how my dad has a sister named Mossie,but when she grew up and left t! o live in Louisville,she was then called Juanita?So Im not sure if papaw named her after his sister or not but it sure seems that way,after all he did name one of his sons after one of his brothers that we new of..which was F.B or Frank Brown.So as far as I know,Mossie was his half sister.I hope this helps you some and I appreciate you writing to me.If you find any info as well,please feel free to share it with me...and by the way,welcome to my family!=) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

This undated obit was cut out of an unknown newspaper. I found the newspaper clipping in a bunch of old papers belonging to Mrs. Bertha (Jones) Sturgill of Corbin. I would like to know who Georgia "Dolly" Taylor was to Bertha (Jones) Sturgill. I wonder if they were old school chums or childhood friends that grew up together. Bertha was born Jan 1905 and grew up not too far from Pine Hill Cemetery.

When I went back through my files re Alabama TAYLOR MILLS, at least as of the 1880 Fed. Census she was shown as "disabled" and it was reported to me that someone's ancestor had known this family and that the accident was a sugar cane mills accident where the mule could not be stopped before taking Alabama's arm. I cannot even imagine what that must have been like to have had such an accident in those times and to have actually survived. In a photo of her, you can see that the limb is missing because on one side of her dark dress, there is a "caved in" appearance where an arm would have been. How they would have ever kept her from bleeding to death or going into shock and dying is almost beyond me.

I am also thinking you should probably consider joining Cassie SOMMERS MyFamily.com site. We discuss those Knox Co., KY Stinking Creek families considerably and there are a number of researchers on that site who are GAMBRELS and MILLS and who probably have much more information than I do. I also wanted to tell you that the John F. GAMBREL who was the father of Anthony and Garret GAMBREL (spelled in a variety of ways) was none other than William G. "Bill" GAMBREL b. abt. 1807 in TN; died after the 1880 Fed. Census and his 2nd wife, Emily SMITH. Even William G. GAMBREL is tied to my TAYLORs. He first married Mahala TAYLOR, one of the older daughters of Cornelius Alexander TAYLOR and Sarah Ann WALKER TAYLOR. They lived together just a couple of months and she returned home. Word was he was having an affair with Emily SMITH. Anyway Mahala and he finally divorced and he remarried . She also remarried two (at least more times). Mahala was an older sibling to my g-grandfather, Harrison TAYLOR b. 1836; d. 1904 and to Alabama Marthane TAYLOR b. 1843; d. after 1920 in Knox Co. I will send you some information directly on your family. I am often fond of saying that I don't seem to have branches on my family tree because when I trace out lines, they seem to always double back on me and I end up going in circles vs. branching out.

This is my bunch! Hannah Gilbert Wynn was my mother's paternal grandmother. Henry Jackson (Taylor) married Dezzie Wynn (Hannah and Wright's daughter). My mother has a double first cousin by that marriage that was born on the same day as my mother and they were 1 hour apart. But all the children of Henry go by Taylor instead of Jackson. Don't know if the name was ever legally changed. This is my Alice Jackson as her oldest daughter's name was Connie (Constewella). Alice was married to Garrett Gambrel, a Strunk and also a Blevins. This family has given me a hard time with all their name changing! The family was from Stinking Creek and lived there until some moved to Harlan where my parents are from. I can't thank you enough for this information. I may have more questions later but I really appreciate this info.
