He believes all were born in Ms. This is as much as I can put together....... His name is Luther Taylor, bn 1911 in Dinon, Walthall Cty., Ms. I found Luther on the 1920 (at age 8) and 1930 census living with his widowed mother Laura and several other children in Walthall Cty.. Luther said his father is John Taylor (died 1919) and his father's mother is Patsy Galloway of Hattiesburg. Ms. I did find Patsy on the 1930 census of Hattiesburg, and it looks like Galloway may be from a 2nd marriage. Luther doesn't remember John's fathers name. Luther's mother was Laura Butler, bn ca 1885, and Laura's mother was named Mandy. It is thought Mandy (Amanda) may be part NativeAmerican. I did find a Mandy married in 1880 in Steens Creek, Rankin Cty., at age 18 to a George E. Butler age 21. Next door was a Jane Butler who seemed to be George's mother. Are these Laura's parents/grandmother?? Any help in filling the gaps much appreciated. Sally New Orleans
