to: Michelle and Audrey: Many thanks for your swift and useful responses. Good info. In the Valle Crusis census for 1860 "Son" is actually Jacob Zachariah Taylor, my Ggrand father. I'm originally from Hickory, NC but have lived in central Florida for 14 years. This makes it a bit rough to hit the local libraries and History centers... But I do try to do some work when visiting there. Thanks , again. Bill Taylor
