Many of us have TAYLORs who moved all over the country. To divide the list would be to divide our resources. There would be less emails if the people on THIS list would stick to genealogy and not idle chat. The posts talking about sitting around pools or the price of gasoline should not be on this list. If you would like to thank one person for some information, please do it in an email to just that person. Posts to this list should be (in my opinion) of interest to those researchiong TAYLORs, not to just one person. Remember, Rootsweb archives all the posts, so please make your posts worth the space it is taking up. So, to make this post worth the space, I am researching TAYLORs in Chester County, PA. Abiah TAYLOR came to PA. from England in 1708. Abiah had a son Joseph (b. in England, d. 1744 in Chester County) who married Elizabeth Haines. Any connections? Lynne
