Hi Marilyn, I have John Wesley Taylor, son of John Henry, son of George S Taylor, and a little himor, I have a brother Don Taylor, small world. Mary marilynandmonty <[email protected]> wrote: Betty and Don, My grandfather - not great-grandfather - was in the civil war (not my Tayor ancestor, but another). I'm 56. When I tell people that it was my grandfather, they always question me. But my grandfather was *reported to be* in his late 70's, early 80's when three of his children were born. Then my father was nearly 40 when I was born. Marilyn ----- Original Message ----- From: "DON TAYLOR" Subject: Re: [TAYLOR] John Wesley Taylor | This made me laugh!
