From my research, using census records, before the 1930 census I found three children: Roland, Gilbert and Beulah. Descendants of Lemuel P. Taylor 1 Lemuel P. Taylor 1859 - 1951 . +Sarah H. Renshaw/Rencher 1861 - 1880 *2nd Wife of Lemuel P. Taylor: . +Esther L. Renshaw 1867 - 1902 ........2 Alifair Taylor 1884 - 1957 ............+Larry Townsend 1873 - 1928 ...................3 Roland Townsend 1903 - 1974 ...................3 Gilbert Townsend 1905 - 1967 .......................+Daisy A. Unknown 1906 - 1965 ...................3 Beulah Townsend 1915 - ........ 2 Nellie P. Taylor 1896 - ........ 2 Georgia Belle Taylor 1899 - Lemuel Taylor married Sarah H. Rencher May 20, 1880 at the home of Sarah's parents in Trappe, Wicomico County, MD. They had no known children. Lemuel Taylor's second wife was Esther (L or S) Renshaw. They married August 24, 1882 in Chesterfield County, Virginia. I believe that both of his wives were the daughters of William Thomas Renshaw and Martha Ann nee Edwards. Lemuel and Esther had three daughters: Alifair (known as Fairy) Nellie P. and Georgia Belle. Fairy and her husband Larry are in the 1910 census of Trappe, Wicomico, MD with two sons: Roland, Gilbert, and her sister Belle. They are living next door to Fairy's uncle George W. Taylor. Her father Lemuel P. Taylor is listed above George in this census. In 1920, Fairy, Larry, the 2 sons and Bula (Beulah) are listed in the Salisbury, Wicomico, MD census. All I know about Roland is that he was born November 05, 1903 and died February 1974 in Maryland. Gilbert had a wife named Daisy. He was born February 05, 1905 and died September 28, 1967 in Maryland. No further information has been found on Nellie P. or Georgia Belle Taylor. I am interested in having contact with someone in this family so I can have current data in these branches of our family tree. Tina Ellis [email protected]
