I am looking for information about the TAYLOR family. My earliest reference is Thomas Madison TAYLOR b. April 22, 1863 in Williamson Co. IL and his sister Sarah (TAYLOR) VANOSDALE b. Dec. 6, 1860 in New Athens, IL. There were at least 3 other siblings; Frank, Joseph, and Ulysses, who were living in Kansas City, MO in 1939. Thomas Madison TAYLOR married Elizabeth RICHARDS in Springfield, IL in 1892. He died in Springfield in 1939. They had an adopted son, Edwin R. TAYLOR. Sarah married Tony VANOSDALE in Belleville, IL in 1879, and settled in Mount Olive, IL. She died in O'Fallon, IL in 1907. They had sons Lyman, Thomas, William and Ulysses; and a daughter Pearl. Pearl stayed in Springfield with Thomas Madison TAYLOR's family when her mother died. Their parents were listed as David TAYLOR and Emiline (Emily) ROMIE(S) TAYLOR. My information on them is sketchy and unverified. I would appreciate any help. Thank you Bill Bojanowski
