I'd say that's a bit narrow minded on your part I'm afraid to say!! If it weren't for the "Frenchmen" the Pacific northwest would have never been charted by Lewis and Clark, St. Louis is predominantly based on a French Settlement, St Genevieve and other towns along the Mississippi River are French settlements, might I remind you...the forefathers along with Irishmen, Scotsmen, Englishmen...hmmm..sounds like they might be from other countries besides AMERICA....is what our foundations are built on....I am native American...but thoughout my lineage there is sprinkled a bit of Taylor Quaker from VA....now where did they come from before VA? Across the Atlantic Ocean I am sure....My Taylor Grandfather married a French(oh my. from Illinois, no less!) woman whose lineage can be traced back to Canada and then to France...So... Before you start becoming predjudice....take a closer look at your own lineage...there might be a "frenchman or french woman" in your tree that you don't know about!!!! ----- Original Message ----- From: "RON & LISA TAYLOR" <TAYFAM@BACKROADS.NET> To: <TAYLOR-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, July 18, 2002 3:36 AM Subject: [TAYLOR] 1812 INDICTMENT OF ZACHERY TAYLOR > IN THE WAR OF 1812, 2,260 AMERICANS DIED.

IF YOU CAREFULLY LAY A SMALL NEEDLE ON TOP OF COLD WATER, IT WILL FLOAT. THE HEAD OF THE NEEDLE WILL POINT NORTH. FROM THE POINT OF THE NEEDLE, WALK TO THE LEFT AT 90 DEGREES AND VIOLA, THE PACIFIC OCEAN. I REALLY BELIEVE LEWIS AND CLARK WOULD HAVE FOUND THE PACIFIC OCEAN WITHOUT FRENCH GUIDES. DID GOD CREATE THE NATIVE AMERICANS IN AMERICA? HOW ABOUT ASIA AND THE LAND OR ICE BRIDGE ACROSS ALASKA? SO YOUR CLAIM IS TO AMERICA IS ONLY BASED ON TIME SPAN DIFFERENCES. GOD GAVE ISRAEL TO THE JEWS AND IRELAND TO GAODHAL GLAS, ALL THE REST OF US ARE PRETTY MUCH ON OUR OWN. A TRUE MILITARY OFFICER WOULD HAVE ROUGHED UP ANY NATIONALITY TO SAVE SOME OF HIS MEN. IF NOT, MOST SOLDIERS WOULDN'T WANT TO SERVE UNDER HIM. I HAVE TWO WORDS IN RESPONSE TO MY POSSIBLY HAVING FRENCH ANCESTORS:SCOTCH-IRISH. AND TRUE TO THE MANOR BORN. J.R.

Seeking descendants of a Christopher Taylor, Quaker minister in England and America. Born about 1621 and lived in the PA, MD, DE, and NJ areas. Is he and his descendants in your family? George Diehl

Historians Find 1814 Taylor Indictment Zachary Taylor Served in Illinois During War of 1812, Became 12th U.S. President in 1848 By CHRISTOPHER WILLS .c The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (July 17) - Old legal problems have surfaced to taint another president. But the problems are really old - try 188 years. Historians said Tuesday that they have found an 1814 indictment of Major ``Zachariah'' Taylor on charges of assault and battery. Zachary Taylor went on to become the 12th U.S. president in 1848, though he served less than 500 days before dying in office. Taylor served in Illinois during the War of 1812, leading a force of 340 men up the Mississippi River to destroy Indian crops and build a fort near what is now Rock Island. Taken by surprise and outnumbered, Taylor was forced to retreat and he returned to St. Louis in September 1814. The assault took place shortly afterward just across the Mississippi River in Illinois. A man named Simon Bartrane said he was assaulted by Taylor and two other men. The charges against Taylor and, apparently, one of the other accused were dismissed. The third, Byrd Lockhart, was convicted. It might be coincidence, but historians at the Illinois State Archives said British war correspondence shows that ``some French gentlemen from St. Louis'' had warned the Sauk Indians that Taylor's forces were on their way north, allowing Taylor to be ambushed. ``We may never know if Bartrane was suspected of espionage or simply the victim of a petty quarrel,'' Vance Martin and Mark Sorensen write in the latest issue of Illinois Heritage magazine. Sorensen, assistant director of the Illinois State Archives, said the indictment was discovered among old documents from Madison County. He and Martin spent months verifying that it was not some other Zachary or Zachariah Taylor. Sorensen said records show no other Zachary or Zachariah Taylor in the Army at that time. The historians also confirmed that Taylor was referred to as Zachariah early in his career, even though in most records and even on his grave he is listed as Zachary. 07/17/02 11:04 EDT Copyright 2002 The Associated Press.

Hello List, I am searching for information on a Fredrick or Fred TAYLOR married to Glayis SAWDEY. Fred may have lived in Prattsburg, NY in the late 1800's.

Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thank You, Jean Marie

I am searching for two brothers (twins) - Daniel and William born c1910-1920 either born in Oldham, Lancashire or Huddersfield, Yorkshire. Daniel married Jessie Maher in Manchester/Oldham. -----

Thank you for the information. I have searched a long time for a Reuben Taylor ---would he happen to be one of the children--just a long shot. Reuben died in SC in Old Ninety Six District--which I found covers a lot of terrritory. Jan

Greetings, I am writing to warn Taylor researchers who descend from this Robert to be careful in importing existing genealogy into your data. This Robert born ca 1719 has been linked as the son of Benjamin Taylor and Keziah Knight both born at Rhode Island, Benjamin the son of John and Naomi Taylor. This is false. Robert may have been the son of a Benjamin and Keziah, but NOT the ones from Rhode Island. They had several children including a Knight Taylor born 1719, but no record of a Robert. Records show that they were residents of R.I. and Mass. only. Thanks, Don Taylor

Marilyn, are you the new list admin. for the Taylor list? If so, welcome! Mary

Sorry List, Like I said, having serious problems and apparently affected my "reading and writing". Saw my message was poorly written and rewrote it. Both messages were sent. I'm sure my "confusion" comes from other than my Taylor blood line.

I've sent two correctly addressed messages to unsubscribe and neither have been successful. Due to a family situation, I do not feel I can remain subscribed to all the lists I normally have an interest in. I have been removed from all other lists after requesting "unsubscribe". It's not a problem since my volume of mail has been dramatically curtailed--but I was curious and then I saw the message someone else sent about not being able to unsubscribe. Maybe there is a problem?
