He was 14 and listed as an 'orphan' in 1837 when their father, John Taylor, dec'd. Elisha was guardian over Jeremiah, but he made a petition to the courts to go with his brother, Whitson B, mentioned in the Probate records of Versailles, Morgan, Missouri, Whitson Burkhead Taylor. John may have been widowed as wife Nancy Burkhead Taylor was not mentioned at all. I do not know which family Gpa John was from, but our family has rumors that his father was Thomas, the son of Richard. They lived in Tyrrell, NC and never moved but the counties changed and they were in Martin, Pitt, Granville, Edgecombe. They have been difficult to trace. My Jeremiah and Whitson B, both went to Prairie Grove, Washington, Arkansas and remained there. I understand John and Nancy Taylor also had a James; Nancy and Elizabeth, who may have stayed in Tennessee w/ the Burkheads if Nancy did die there. Connecting lin! es; Burkheads, Taylors, Morris's, Goodwin's, Walker's, came from Boynton, Mecklenburg, Virginia. lulaTaylorThomasson [email protected] Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
