Hello Taylor list members, The following e-mail was received by Patrick Payne, a fellow list administrator who is collaborating with two professors, Dr. Elizabeth Hirschman and Dr. Donald Panther-Yates, who are seeking a grant to map Native American DNA. This collaboration will allow Mr. Payne to concentrate on obtaining DNA samples from those of European ancestry who have surnames matching the Roanoke colonists. His message includes a website where you can learn more about the Lost Colony project and whether you can help his effort. The link should work, but if it wraps into two lines or isn't visible as a link, copy it and paste to your browser (minus the brackets). In addition, I have included an excerpt from a previous message explaining a bit more about his project. I have no connection to this project and am forwarding this as a courtesy since Tayler/Taylor is one of the names that may be associated with the Roanoke Lost Colony. Please go to his website to learn more and/or to correspond with him. He is not a member of the TAYLOR list here and will not see any responses posted here. Thanks! Marilyn *list mom* Forwarded message: ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patrick Payne" <ppayne1203@earthlink.net> To: <TAYLOR-admin@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, August 04, 2002 4:15 AM Subject: Re: non-subscriber request A Roanoke "Lost Colony" Project has been established to conduct a Y-chromosome (DNA) comparison between Native Americans and those of European descent with surnames held by the 1587 Roanoke Colonists. A search is now being conducted to locate potential project participants with your surname. Details of the project can be found at <http://papayne.rootsweb.com/Lost-Colony> Thank you for your consideration. Regards, Patrick Payne ----------------- Excerpt from Patrick Payne message on July 30, 2002. I am sure that everyone is familiar to some degree with Sir Walter Ralegh's "Lost Colony" that has become engrained in our American folklore and is our countries most enduring mystery. Under Governor John White, 150 men, women and children, set out on May 8th, 1587, from Plymouth, England, for the new Virginia colony. On August 27th, at the request of the colonists, the Governor, and one other man, departed from the colony to return to England for badly needed supplies and support. No white man was to ever see these colonists again. For over 400 years, many theories have been put forth as to what became of the colonists, but none of these have solved the mystery as proof is lacking to support them. Among these theories, it has been claimed that the colonists had either been massacred by the local Indian population or by the Spanish. Yet no remains have ever been found to indicate that this occurred. In fact, the evidence points to an orderly abandonment of the colony. They had taken the time to pull down the structures they had erected and to bury the personal items of Governor White, as they had agreed to do before his departure. They had even left the marks of "CRO" and "CROATOAN," without the cross as a sign of distress, which they had also agreed upon with Governor White. As a result, the prevailing conclusion is that the colonists had simply removed themselves from Roanoke Island to some other place. Many believe that they had either sought to join with the Croatoan Indians or that Croatoan indicated a place rather than a people. There are those that believe the traditions held by the Lumbee and other Indian Tribes that they are descendants of the Lost Colonists who had assimilated into their population. The Lumbee tradition is particularly interesting and long-standing, while researchers have also suggested other Tribes as the possible haven for the colonists.<snip> --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Mary, If you are sending to the correct address and your messages are returning, it may have been/may be a problem with RootsWeb server. I just read where they were having problems earlier with one of their servers. There is no way to know which server the TAYLOR-UK list is on. This one is on "lists5" which is apparently still working! Thanks, John, for including the full address here for the TAYLOR-UK list. You make it easy - we don't have to look it up!

Hi Bev, I couldn't find a connection - at least not yet, but enjoyed looking at your updated page! Thanks for letting us know. I love your little e-mail graphic ;-) I would also encourage anyone with family homepages about Taylor and other ancestry to let the group know about them. Maybe we haven't made a connection from a message you wrote (or maybe you haven't written the message yet), but might find a cousin on your page, perhaps even one of a different surname, but which connects to your Taylor line. Plus, usually there are links and those links might lead us somewhere we don't know about!

Charlie, if you were asking me about any brothers born in Buncombe Co. NC. I sure don't know anything more than was in my post. Sure wish I did. My William J Taylor b 1819 Buncombe Co NC lived in Harlan Co. then moved to Laurel about 1890 died in London KY about 1896. I have a Taylor-Howard family reunion picture made at a cemetery between 1920-1924 in Wallens Creek, Harlan Co. KY. There are about 175 people in the picture but I only know about a dozen of them. Frances Howard Hickey
