Posted on: Avery Co. NC Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Avery/460 Surname: WITT, TAYLOR, OLLIS, BUCHANAN ------------------------- Hello, I'am seeking a Luther (Luthern) TAYLOR who was from NC. born late 1800's.Luther's said wife was Sarah B. WITT. They bore a son Benjamin Lloyd TAYLOR(my grandfather) he was born 1915 in Cranberry Twp.Avery county NC.Sarah WITT was from VA. she was born 1897, the daughter of William WITT and Nancy OLLIS.This family line connects to BUCHANAN, OLLIS,and FOX.I was told by my father that Benjamin TAYLOR was a bastard and that Sarah did not know the father of Benjamin.I would hope this wasn't true.Sarah and Benjamin later turned up in Indiana,PA.Bedford,Blacklick,Blairsville.,Sarah met a man Tom CARNEY (KEARNEY)this man was step father to Benjamin TAYLOR.Some in family say that Ben's father died when he was just a little boy.So with my research I figure his father died around 1900-1915 as Benjamin is in the 1920 census of Avery,NC. 1915 making him 5 years old.So if any one having information on any of this line I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
