New Years Greetings from Boston, I do not think I have posted to this list yet. I have been researching primarily 2 lines in Georgetown: CONGDON and TAYLOR (also HUCKS, LOHR, and deMICHEL). Here is my brick wall: Dr. John Edward TAYLOR, oral surgeon from Georgetown and Columbia, (b. appx 1880) married my grandmother's mother, Ruby May CONGDON on 6/25/03 in Prince George Winyah Church in Georgetown. My grandmother, May Congdon Taylor, was born 6/25/04 (and died this past August at age 94.) The marriage ended in divorce and I have been able to find nothing on TAYLOR. Was supposedly from a prominent family (Georgetown or Columbia, not sure). A HUCKS cousin I recently located in Georgetown sent me an excerpt from "Georgetown Houselore" by Julian Stevenson Bolick - pub. 1944. It mentions 3 historic houses lived in by the Congdon family, one of which is the KAMINSKI HOUSE which, it says, "is known to be one of the oldest houses in Georgetown. Before the War Between the States, the Congdon family occupied the place and during the War the Daggett family lived there. In the early 1900's, the property was purchased by Mr. W.W. TAYLOR, who lived here many years. It was then purchased by a Mr. Fosdick, a wealthy Nortrhern man. During the depression in the thirties the Fosdicks sold the place to Mr. Harold Kaminski..." I am aware there is a Kaminski House Museum in Georgetown, which I presume to be the same house. Can anyone offer me some direction as to how I might pursue the Taylor (and Congdon) connection with the Kaminski House? I may be grasping at straws, but finding a written connection between Congdon and Taylor in Georgetown has given me a little renewed hope. Any input would be most gratefully appreciated.
