I am looking for John M (Marion or Maryland) Taylor b. 26 Feb 2854 MS. Married Susan Annabelle KIRKPATRICK b. 17 Mar 1856 in 1874 in Monroe Co Mississippi. Both died in Fannin Co. TX buried in Carson Cemetary. Children: Nettie D Taylor b. 16 Mar 1876 Infant b. 1877 Etta Victoria b. 23 Aug 1879 Winona May b. 1883 Tony b. 1885 Hezzikiah 1893 Reginald b. 1893 Eugene b. 1895 India Annice b. 1897 Fannie b. 1899 Some say his parents are Benjamin Jefferson Taylor and Rebecca Osborne from SC. Would appreciate any information on this family. Connie

We have enough running around from state to state, and county to county, sure don't need to have to run around from list to list also. :-( Bev.

I have been unable to identify and connect the following TAYLORs in Baldwin County, AL to the John TAYLOR descendants. Do you have any of these in your notes? If so, could you please help me identify their parents? John T. TAYLOR (Will dated 3-6-1934) mentions Mary I. Middleton, Perry A. TAYLOR, Millard F. TAYLOR, Herman L. TAYLOR, and Douglas M. TAYLOR, deceased, in his will. Simeon TAYLOR - His will mentions wife, Sarah, and son, B. F. TAYLOR (possibly Benjamin Franklin TAYLOR). Aaron TAYLOR (b. 1818 SC - d. ?) Married Margaret Haines Gilbert. He's possibly a son of Henry and Jemima TAYLOR. L. P. TAYLOR (b. 1810) Ely TAYLOR (Possibly Elijah?) Married a Mrs. Magasky in 1816 Martin TAYLOR (b. 1790 SC) Lived with Rosana TAYLOR and at Thomas TAYLOR at separate times, according to census data All help with these "loose ends" will be appreciated! Kathryn

Dear All: We need to remove the subject of splitting the mailing list from the main stream of the mailing list. It is now off topic for further discussion. In my experience, it is unproductive and further posts never are successful at changing anyone's mind. Over the years, I've heard about all the rational on both sides that can be developed. The original Roots-l list at North Dakota edu went through this discussion several times. Anyone can start a mail list at any time by merely filling out a form on the Rootsweb home page and convincing the Listmaster of the reason. So there is really no reason to further discuss it on this list. Anyone interested in a separate list is welcome to email me and discuss how they would like to proceed. If there is sufficient interest, then I will be glad to assist in that list and even allow a post on this list about the availability of that list. There is an natural ebb and flow to the lists over the year. What seems like high volume now winds up being a low volume in the summer. Once a new list is established for whatever name that occurs, then it can't be removed. The one new list that kinda makes some sense would be Taylor-UK. There has been some success on other surnames with that option. However, on this list the subject of splitsville is off topic and ended. < that's a period. The VLF has been rented from Piglet for this occasion :-) Best Regards John A Hansen List Admin jahansen@qwest.net

I am hoping that someone can help me with my brick wall. My gg-grandfather was Nicholas Taylor born approx. 1812-1818 most likely in Tennessee. He paid taxes on land in Morgan county Indiana in 1840. I have him on Morgan county Indiana censuses for 1850 and 1860. After 1860, he disappeared! I have found no indications that he fought/died in the Civil War. He was married three times (Barbara Barnett, Catherine Preble, Malinda Steel Badgley). Known children were John R. (b. 9/22/1841), Daniel Thomas (b. 1/31/1845; my g-grandfather), Delila A. (b. 1847), Christinia (b. 1850), G.R., and Robert W. (b. 1858). Can anyone make any connections? I'm stuck! I can't find his parents, siblings or when/where he died! I'd appreciate any help! Karen Taylor Scott (Bit by the genealogy bug!!)

Many of us have TAYLORs who moved all over the country. To divide the list would be to divide our resources. There would be less emails if the people on THIS list would stick to genealogy and not idle chat. The posts talking about sitting around pools or the price of gasoline should not be on this list. If you would like to thank one person for some information, please do it in an email to just that person. Posts to this list should be (in my opinion) of interest to those researchiong TAYLORs, not to just one person. Remember, Rootsweb archives all the posts, so please make your posts worth the space it is taking up. So, to make this post worth the space, I am researching TAYLORs in Chester County, PA. Abiah TAYLOR came to PA. from England in 1708. Abiah had a son Joseph (b. in England, d. 1744 in Chester County) who married Elizabeth Haines. Any connections? Lynne

I agree with you Mary some people just want to have it there way.

We have a Davis and a Davis-northern states, and I have not seen a single complaint yet. It is not difficult to subscribe to both, if necessary.......no big deal ! And it makes it much more convenient ! DAVIS is as common a name as TAYLOR. I am researching 3 Taylor and 3 Davis lines in my ancestry. (I also have 3 Jones lines to research) Arline (Taylor) Larson arline7@bellsouth.net

It is not a good idea to split the list, new researchers that are just starting to do their genealogies have enough to learn , with out having to choose what list to research. In all the many years I have been doing this, and that is a lot of time and I have never seen a surname split for the convenience of a few. I agree with the others, do not split the list. Another thing, I have heard from a lot of people, confirming Bryan started this list, and he certainly had a very good reason for not being on top of everything. Let him have it back. Mary

I agree with Ray. To split the Taylor's would not be a good idea. Before there was the Midwest and west, there was New England and the South. Your Taylor's came from these regions originally more than likely. We all have to weed through e-mails hoping to find a connection, but that is our choice, since we decided to join this list. It would be a shame to have to subscribe to another list for a particular name. Some of us, (that is why we are here) do not know where some of the family's settled after they moved away from home. I know my Taylor line started in Connecticut, to North Carolina, to Virginia, to Tennessee, to Kentucky. My grandfather had 16 kids. I have no idea where the most of them went. It would be ignorant of me to assume they stayed in Kentucky. Karen I am still looking for information on my grandfather's family: Here is what I have on my Ambrose Taylor. It is very confusing. First let me tell you what we have been told on certain things, and some of the records we have obtained is conflicting also. Ambrose Christopher Taylor b April 24, 1853, Connecticut, d May 30, 1921,Hindman, KY. Some records also have Christopher Ambrose Taylor. Ambrose's death certificate says father's name is William Taylor b in VA, mothers name Susan Bowman b Va. Other records also say his name was Ambrose (this is what my father had also been told.) The following information is taken from records we have obtained: Richmond VA Archives: Christopher Ambrose Taylor b 1-21-1840 Surrey Co., NC married Elizabeth A. Cox b 6-1-1849 m Russell Co Va date of marriage 1-16-1870. Ambrose's partents are listed as Ambrose Taylor and Mary Bowman Elizabeths' parents are listed as James Cox b 1818 and Rachael Cox b 1826 both in Scott Co. Children of Elizabeth and Ambrose: John Henry 8-6-1871 Floyd Twsp, Scott Co VA Namcy L 8-11-1872 d 10-18 1872 Scott Co VA of Bold Hives James J 8-11-1872 Elander C 6-22-1875 Second marriage of Ambrose states birth date as 4-24-1849 Place of birth as Surry Co NC He married Louisa Ellen Saunders b 1857 in Russell Co Va on 922-1884, Louisa's parents are listed as James Saunders b 1835 and Rachel b 1837. Children of Louisa and Ambrose: William 1892 d 1972 in Tulsa, OK, Memorial Park Cemetary, (my parents gave hime the cemetery plot) Cora b 1897 Rosa b 1899 Earnest G S b 1900 Nancy Third marriage of Ambrose: C. Ambrose Taylor b 1-21-1849 Surrey Co NC married Celia Boggs b 1888 Lawrence Co KY on 11-20-1903 in Lawrence Co. KY. Celia's parents were Lorenzo Dow Boggs and Regina Sargent. Children of Celia and Ambrose: Robert (Bob) b 1906 Knott Co KY died 1946 (was shot to death) wife Chrissie Taylor Allie b 2-17-1909 Knott Co KY d 6-13-1990 married Maryland Osborne Lincon b 1912 Knott Co KY Hazel 4-15-1915 Knott Co KY married Arther Dingus (she is still living in Martin, KY) Thomas 11-15-1918 Knott Co KY married Virigina Payise (Tom died January 15, 2002, in Arizona) Troy 9-24-1920 d 2-25-1998 Kalamazoo, MI (my father) Married Cora Harrington, Pike Co KY 2-13-1948 (Dad is burried in the Constantine Township Cemetery, Constantine, MI) Ambrose and Celia are buried at Old Doc Kelly's Cemetary in Hindman, KY.

I agree with the others who don't want to split the list. I would rather delete messages that don't pertain to me than miss something that is posted to one list and not the other. Just my opinion, Janet

I'm with Ray on this subject.

Hello list, Would be interested in connecting with the other descendants of Ward and Annie TAYLOR from Georgia. The line goes like this: Ward TAYLOR m. Annie **Ward and Annie TAYLOR came from England in 1750, possibly settling in Georgia** Moses TAYLOR (1761, GA -1821) m. ELizabeth MORRIS (d.1807 Edgefield, SC) Ward TAYLOR (b.1791, Edgefield, SC; d.1871, Marion Co., TX) m2. Nancy (Ann) MATHEWS (b. 1796, Baldwin Co., GA; d.1872, Marion Co., TX) Albert J. TAYLOR (b.1815 in Jones Co., GA) m. Mary J. ? (b.1823, AL) Thomas W. TAYLOR (1841-1913) m. Latisha (b.1854, TX) Moses W. TAYLOR (1874-1958) m. Ola SPENCER (1881-1972) Thank you, Deb Glaeser __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax Center - online filing with TurboTax http://taxes.yahoo.com/

Becky: That is an excellent idea. That happened to the Davis website because there are so many ! Arline (Taylor) Larson arline7@bellsouth.net

I think that splitting the Taylors would be a very bad idea. Most of the Taylors came through the Northern states and then branched out to other areas of America. I myself, am researching two different Taylor families. I have one branch from Maryland to Kentucky and one branch from Virginia to Alabama...and members of both these families spread out North and South. So when you split for your convenience...be sure and let the list members have the option of subscribing to both sites. ray taylor

I agree with Becky. The list should split like one of the others that I am a part of. It should would make it easier to determine what is going on. Ronna Pokorny-Moore
