    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: LimitlessEternity Surnames: Law Graff Taylor Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.ohio.counties.trumbull/5093/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am searching out descendants of Prentiss John LAW b. 1865 in Ohio, d. 1968 in Oakland, California. He was apparently a good friend of my Great-grandfather, Charles TAYLOR of Roy, Utah. Our family has an old photograph of Mr. LAW with the notation that it was one of Charles' friends. I would love to make sure that you have a digital copy of it (I do not have the actual photograph myself). I would like to find out if any of Prentiss' LAW's descendants have any information on GGpa Charles TAYLOR. My guess is that they worked on the railroad together, as Charles TAYLOR was doing that job until 1900, when he moved from Idaho to Utah. Preliminary research on Mr. LAW has turned up that he entered the military in Idaho. The information that I have on him is as follows: Parents were John H LAW (b. 1826 in Pennsylvania) & Caroline (b. 1828 in Pennsylvania). Both of whom died sometime after 1900 in Trumbull County, Ohio.(1880 & 1900 Censuses, Trumbull, OH) Prentiss married Josephine GRAFF, daughter of Catherine GRAFF. They had four children: Prentiss Jr, b. 1904 in Oakland, CA Catherine, b. abt 1908 George H, b. 1911 Mary Louise, b. 1915 (1910, 1920, 1930 Censuses in Oakland, CA) Prentiss joined the Idaho Infantry, Regiment 1, Company G.
