Mr. Samuelsen, Huldah TAFT's lineage is shown at www.rootsweb.com Global search. Just search Huldah TAFT and the first one listed is a pedigree given by Barbara Teague. Huldah was daughter of Israel and Mercy (ALDRICH) TAFT. David DANIELS was son of Eleazar Daniels and his wife Mary (HOLBROOK). I also had Huldah listed in my database in the remarks entry for Israel. Barbara cited Rick Sullivan, administrator of the Wheelock website: www.WheelockGenealogy.com as one who helped her with the lineage. New England Families by Wm. Richard Cutter, Vol. III:1468 lists Mercy Aldrich's parents as Jacob and Huldah (THAYER) ALDRICH, but apparently they were her grandparents and her parents were Jacob and Margery (HAYWARD) ALDRICH instead. I can't say which is correct since this is not my line, but Barbara's seems to work out better timewise. Apparently Israel TAFT's son Samuel had a tavern during the Revolution that George Washington visited. Washington was very impressed with Taft's daughters who waited on him and Washington sent them each a dress as a token of his appreciation of their kindness. A very interesting item in Barbara Teague's lineage is that she gives the last name for Robert 1 TAFT's wife: SIMPSON! I wonder where she found that? May have to jot her off a note. I've never heard that anyone had identified Sarah ( ) TAFT as yet. She showed her b. in England and they m. in Ireland. Barb Petty [email protected]
Morning All, I have Huldah as "Huldah Arnold Taft". The same line as Barb said. However, the last name of Sarah w/o Robert Taft is new to me too! My Taft info comes from a data base collected by the Taft Family Ass. However it is a few years old and probably has been updated and corrected since then. The Taft Family Reunion will be held here in Mendon Sat. June 23rd, at the Mendon Unitarian Parish Hall , Registration is at 11:30; Pot Luck Lunch at 12:30 and speaker at 1:30. I may attend, If I do I will inquire if Sarah's name has been found?? If I don't attend, I know a few list members that do, and I am sure this also will be their main question. :) I am NOT Taft related.. but do belong to the TFA because so many other lines married into the Taft's of Mendon. Yes, Barb, Samuel Taft owned the tavern where GW did sleep. :) Alice [email protected]
