Hi, all, Regarding the Edward TRAYLOR I was referring to (recorded in Brunswick Co., VA in 1800 as Edward TAYLOR) was b. about 1765 or so, probably in Dinwiddie Co., VA. (I was mistaken---I said he was recorded on the Census, but he was recorded on the Tax List of 1800---paid 1 white male poll over 16, and one horse. Must have been living on someone else's land, though---not recorded on the census that year in his own household.) He was the eldest son and heir of my Joseph TRAYLOR & Elizabeth UNKNOWN of Prince George, Lunenburg & Brunswick Cos., VA & of Caswell Co., NC. His siblings were Martha (b. ca. 1763; m. William HOWERTON); Thomas Getson TRAYLOR; and John TRAYLOR. The other three siblings all moved to Edgefield Co., SC. Martha died after 1819, probably in Alabama. Thomas died in Georgia, and John Traylor died in Edgefield, SC, though his children also moved to Alabama. I have partial records of a Chancery suit by Joseph TRAYLOR's second wife, Mary (apparently DAVIS, a widow of a Caswell Co., NC Davis man.) She & Joseph had no children, but she was having a hard time, beginning in 1795, getting Edward Traylor to hand over one-thirds dower she had a right to by law. (Don't know the outcome, but the most important fact shown by this suit is that Joseph & his first wife, Elizabeth, had only four children---this makes all those other Traylors in the records of his 1794 estate in Brunswick Co. appear in a very different light...) Anyway, I don't know about Edward, except for those facts. I am wondering if he had any surviving children, and who they might have been. Pam pamstone@cfl.rr.com
