Hi, It's been a while, so I thought I would re-state my search. I am looking for other descendants of John W. Gibson Taylor, born about 1829 in Carolgate, East Retford, Nottinghamshire, England to George Taylor and Mary Ann Small. After being disinherited by his father for 'marrying beneath his station', John W. G. Taylor immigrated to New York in 1857 with son Jack; wife Mary Ann, daughter Elizabeth Jane, and an infant daughter followed in 1858. John and son Jack both served in the Union Army during the US Civil War, for which John W. G. Taylor was given a land bounty in Spring Valley, MN area. He farmed there for the rest of his life. Jack Taylor studied law and became a lawyer in New York. Jack Taylor once considered going to England to try to get his rightful inheritence, but eventually decided it had been too long. John and Mary Taylor had approximately 14 children, most of whom survived to adulthood, including my great-grandmother Elizabeth Jane Taylor. She married Melroy Albert Fuller around 1871 in Spring Valley, MN. I would really like to find other descendants of John W. Gibson Taylor, as well as descedants of his siblings who lived in Carolgate. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Have a great day, Merrie (Fuller) Sodder
