Hello Everyone, I am asking if anyone has anything that connects my gg-grandparent Bradley Taylor with this family. I have looked and been unable to find anything that links him to this family, if someone will just tell me how they found he belongs to this family so I can send for the document as Bradley and Julia leave Shelby ILL. after the 1860 census. I find his wife Julia on the 1900 census as a widow. If he belongs to this family maybe he moved around his family in Henry CO. or somewhere and I maybe able to find his death as he isn't on the ILL. death site. All the information I have is what is below and still have not been able to connect Bradley to this family even though he is listed on sites as being apart of it. I can not find a marraige on Bradley and Julia or a death on Bradley and Julia has unknown on all on her death cer. so dose her daughter Martha Taylor Nichols that married Charles Nichols also there daughter Eliza Melinda Taylor (g-grandmother) I am not able to find any death on her. The son Henry I can't find any death cert. on. I would like any help anyone can give me on this family. Would welcome any help, Thanks so much, Barbara eor@saber.net Ephriam Merrit Taylor was the son of Richard Taylor of the Blue Ridge Mountainsin Tennessee. He married twice.
