I am trying to find the parents of Margaret Anna Newton b. 1847 probably in Madison Co., KY. Her mother's name was Louisa or Liza? I haven't been able to locate a father. Margaret's Civil War widows pension record states:? "My name was Margaret Anna Newton, but my father dying in my infancy, while I was yet a child, my mother was married to William K. Taylor and I was brought up under my stepfather's surname. I haven't had much luck in finding William K. Taylor except for the following census records: 1860 Casey, Kentucky Dist. 4? Liberty PO 483-484 William Taylor 27 yrs $150/70 b. NC farmer [1833] Luisa 24 no birth state shown [1836] Margarett A. 11 no birth state shown [1849] Alfred N. 5 no birth state shown [1855] I think this is them!! 1870 Mackville P.O.Mackville, Washington Co., KY Taylor, William, 48 yrs, blacksmith $0/$200, b.
