Thanks for answering!! Yes, I have looked in Ancestry.com and Genealogy.com for this family anywhere in 1850, and they just aren't there, unless it's some spelling I haven't figured out. It's sometimes spelled "Taber" and I found one place with "Taler." I've read the Marshall County 1850 page by page a couple of times. There are eight families who were in the same location on the 1840 census, and are completely missing from the 1850. I think the census taker missed a whole section of the county. Yes, Nancy Orr Gibson was born in Georgia in 1818, married John F. Tabor (b GA 1813) in Lawrence Co., AL , July 9, 1834. They were in Marshall County by 1840, probably earlier, since my Mary lists her birthplace as MS. She appears to be the oldest daughter, whom some researchers have listed as "Ida", but no one can say where this name came from, and no one knows if it is Mary. Nancy Adelia was born in MS in 1852. Both Nancys and my Mary died in Arkansas. My Mary has children with the same names as the other Tabor daughters, making me believe even more that she is a sister. She had an Adelia, for example, a Mary and a Martha (Tabor children who died young in Marshall Co.)
