Ahh ... we might have a connection! I know very little about my Taylors, but what I do know is that my 4th great-grandmother was Anna Taylor, b. app. 1800. She m. William Roe app. 1818. They lived in Jefferson Co. Ohio, and if memory serves me (it's late!), she was born in Jefferson Co., Oh, and was also married there. I have been told (and have found this on the internet several times) that her father was Thomas Taylor, m. to Ruth Sprague. I have not proven this myself, so I have no documentation. Could this man be the same man as your Thomas Taylor? Thanks! LindaB
