Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/wQB.2ACE/1177 Message Board Post: Still searching for the parents of William Taylor, 1759-1847, who is buried in Wescott Free Cemetery, Main St, Mays Landing, NJ. His tombstone is difficult to read, his birth may have been in 1759 (from cemetery records in historical society). The Methodist Church burned down about 1880 with records. His wife may be Ann. I believe his marriage was in 1781. First daughter was born in 1793. One son was Edmund, buried in the Presbyterian Cemetery, another son, John. Another son was Alexander Taylor, a blacksmith, who lived at "Kate's Landing", Mays Landing, named after his wife, Katy Pfifer. Most of this early Taylor family were buried in those two cemeteries. I've done extensive research on this family but can get no further back than William, my 4th ggrandfather. It has been suggested that William was married to Ann Wescott of Fairfield Twp. but the dates are very wrong for that to be and I have ruled it out.I William may have come from the Cape May County George Taylor family, one of the first settlers in the area, but can find no proof so far. I do believe that this is the correct Taylor family due to the naming patterns and the proximity. Family lore is he was from England. If anyone can help with this query on William's ancestors, I would be glad to share. TIA.

Surnames: Flanagin Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/wQB.2ACE/11.1 Message Board Post: Barbara, I can help you with Mary Ann. Her brother, Harris H Flanagin, was the Confederate Governor of Arkansas during the Civil War. His father, James Flanagin III (b10/23/1790-d1860) married Mary Harris (b7/4/1795-d10/14/1871) on 10/6/1813. James and Mary had 10 children. It is a bit confusing because James' father was also James Flanagin and married Mary Harris (b7/1766-d5/21/1829). This information is from my grandmother's records. She had her geneology traced in order to join the DAR. Hope this helps.If you want to know more of Mary Ann's history contact me.

I have a picture of my G. grandmother Sarah Garren (Herman) she was married in May 1855. On the back of the cardboard picture 4x61/2. Here is what it says Hardwick's PHOTO PARLOR 20 North Laurel St. Bridgeton, N.J. The back of card is light green. This is the lady we can't find parents or family. Someother printning if anyone is interested. [email protected] June

If you do send them to "Dead Fred," be sure to note the Bridgeton NJ and Frederica, DE areas as possible origins for the photo subjects. (Someone in Delaware may have had Bridgeton rellies who sent photos now and then, for their scrapbook). Also, there is a Cumberland County Historical Society in Greenwich, that you might call. But before you contact either, you said the photos were from "mainly two or three photo galleries of the Bridgeton area." If you will tell us which ones, and look for addresses on back (or logo changes), a true guru following this site may tell us what years these photo shops were in operation. This would narrow the years for the photo sittings. If you live in Cumberland County, you may also want to consult the owner of Steelman Photos in Millville (Dale) since he is a historian as well. If you have scans of them, I'd like to see them myself, just to compare clothing to a few ancestor photos I own. As for why people buy photos of ancestors other than their own, I believe it is to frame them and add "class" to their decor, if they don't have ancestor photos of their own. They might use them in restaurants, too, to add to the historic feeling. Some may even fake it, and pretend they ARE from their family history! The idea of total unknowns staring back at me gives me the creeps, but then again, it may be argued that some of these unknowns are "adopted" by the new photo owners. I'm not that broad-minded as to adopt them, as my own go-befores are giving me ENOUGH problems!

Why not send them to Dead Fred? I did the same thing about three years ago. I purchased a bunch of photos at the flea market and then sent them to him for inclusion on his website. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, March 06, 2006 6:10 AM Subject: [NJCUMBER] Album full of mid-1800's photos of a Bridgeton, NJ family > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/wQB.2ACE/1174 > > Message Board Post: > > I purchased a lot of about 20 photos that by fashion, etc. seem to be > dated about the mid-1800's, and a few a little later.

Tryphenia held the original James W. Schenck family Bible of which I was able to attain a number of dates and names from. The last one on your list is probably William Schenck b. abt 1915, d. before 2002. He is the son of William T. Schenck b. Jul. 9, 1884, d. 1965. It will take a little time to digest what you sent. Seymour Schenck wasn't married to a Carrie Walker and the children you list don't belong to Seymour. Outside that you appear to be on target. As you know, this Schenck line has direct ties to the Pilgrims. I've never bother with registering the line so it remains undocumented. Let me know of other questions you might have. George
