Just poking fun my mother was Emma Taylor after marriage. Her name was befor marriage Emma Jane Walker born July 14 , 1895 Joplin , Jasper CO., MO. My father was Omer Wilson Taylor born June 9 1892 , Poke CO., MO. But I don't think we are related to your Taylor's. As Our Taylor came from VA., NC., TN., MO., Mother passed away in 1971 in Buena Park , Orange CO., California ,and is buried in Rose Hill Cemetary , Whitter , Los Angles , California. My father passed away Aug. 1966 in Hemet , Riverside , California and is laid to rest in Rose Hill Cemetary also in Whitter , Los Angles , California. His father was James W. Taylor born in Flat-Creek twp., Stone CO., MO., and he passed away May 31 , 1942 in Mount Vernon, Lawrence CO., MO., he had 5 brother and 1 sister that were born there also. But in later years moved to Mount Vernon, Lawrence CO., MO. I thought if I wrote about my Taylor's it may help some other Taylor's searching for there Taylor's.
