I am researching my great grandfather's, James Forbes Taylor, family. He was born in New York City on September 15, 1849. He finally settled near Port Jervis, New York. I am trying to identify his father. According to the 1880 US census his father is listed as born in Scotland. No birthplace was mentioned. I am guessing that this Taylor family had several generations living in Scotland and that my great-great-grandfather left for America shortly before 1849. James Forbes is a name that was repeated in the family. Other names in the family are Joseph Levi, Carrie, Edwin Hurst, Jenny, and Willard James (All with the surname of Taylor). I know that the information that I have is very sparse. But I am hoping that someone might have the Taylor connection that I need. I would appreciate any information on my branch of the Taylor family. Jim Taylor of Warren, Ohio
