Surnames: TAYLOR, MILLS Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/CBB.2ACE/5094.1.1.2 Message Board Post: Hello, I am NOT a direct descendant of Thursey Ann BINGHAM and Stephen BROWN. I do recall having seen a photo in one of the family history books around. I'll have to look to see where it was and if I have it. All I do recall is that it was a small photo and not particularly clear. Sounds to me as if you need to get started researching your family. There are any number of your "cousins" on line who belong to the Knox Co. Mail List and Message Board. Much of the information I provided you is available in "The Bingham Family of Southeast Kentucky". Look under "books for sale" under Knox Co. or the main usgenweb site. You will find a link for books for sale. This book is abt. 1100 telephone-book sized and very worthwhile. Are you by change connected to Silas BROWN, b. Nov 1868 in Knox Co.; mar. 1886 to Elizabeth HAMMONS COMBS, b. April 1871 in Knox Co. through their dau, Mollie BROWN, b. 1891 who married a James SMITH, b. 1880???? The dates for the children of Silas BROWN are: Eli, b. May 1890 Mollie, b. 1891 Alifar, b. Apr 1892 Daw, b. 1893 Stephen D., b. Mar 10, 1896 Evie, b. Jun 1897 I cannot trace your more immediate relatives and connect them without some more information from you. For example, this Cecil and Farmer SMITH. When approx. were they born and who were their children? Also, your Jim and Mary MILLS. There are literally hundreds of Jim and Mary MILLS in Knox Co. over the years. When were yours born and poss. who were their parents and/or children? My gg-grandfather was Cornelius Alexander TAYLOR (b. 1794-d. 1874 in Knox Co.) mar. 1814 to Sarah Ann WALKER (dau. of Walter and Annie WALKER, she was b. 1795 and d. ca 1885 in Knox Co. Three of the TAYLOR dau's in the lst generation married into the MILLS family and many other families of Knox Co. Because they intermarried so much back then, I have a large number of family connections through marriages. Joyce Taylor Collins La Palma, CA Joyce Taylor Collins La Palma, CA
