Rich, Thanks so much for sharing your findings. I think we have all gone mad from trying..LOL. Samual Mack Taylor is interesting, because on the 1860 Barry , he is listed as Samual McTaylor. I have never known for certain whether he was a Taylor or a McTaylor, but assumed he was just plain Taylor. Bethany is the one listed as BarthIna on the 1860 census, Right?
