    3. After all these years, I am still searching for any information about Mary M. Tabor, who married John F. Harvill in Holly Springs in 1853. No parent signed her marriage application. The ones I believe to be her family are not on ANY 1850 census, when she would have been at home with them. She was born there in 1836, but moved to Arkansas when she married. The Harvill brothers owned property in Marshall County for several years. We visited there twice looking for information, but found nothing in print. I believe she was a sister of Nancy Adelia Tabor, who moved to the same place in Arkansas, married first a nephew of Mary's husband's brother-in-law, second a great-nephew of her husband, Wm. Beverly Harvill. Nancy's mother, Nancy Orr Gibson Tabor, also moved there and died in Drew County, AR in 1880. We don't know why the two Nancys would have moved there unless it was because Mary was, indeed, their daughter and sister. Has anyone ever seen a will for John H. Tabor in Marshall County? We don't know when or how he died. There are two daughters buried there -- Martha and Margaret Tabor. No record has been found of son, Thad; the rest of the children migrated to Texas. I would greatly appreciate any information. Alice in KY
