    3. I am searching for information on a Simon/Simeon Taylor the son of Silas Taylor and Elizabeth Wallis. Silas Taylor is the son of Uriah Taylor and Nancy L. Tucker. Simon/Simeon Taylor was born abt. 1843 in GA and died Dec. 8, 1909 in Texas. I am not sure how many times he was married, but know that he was married to Sarah M. Baisdon January 10, 1865 in Lafayette Co. MS, she is the daughter George V. and Penelopy (Taylor) Basidon. Sarah was married prior to Simon and I suspect that Simeon may have been married prior to Sarah, but I don't have any information to prove that. Just mere speculation. Simeon moved to TX from MS, however I am not sure if Sarah died in MS or if she lived long enough to have made the move to TX with Simeon. According to bible records, she died Nov. 4, 1886. I know that Simeon and Sarah had one daughter, Penelopy Taylor who married James Harrison Hardman. Penelopy is listed with her husband in the 1900 Navarro Co. Texas Census. I have suspected that Simeon and Sarah may have had another daughter named Margaret, but cannot prove that either. There was a Margaret Taylor who was married to the brother of Penelopy's husband James. I thought maybe that could be Penelopy's sister. These families were in the Navarro Co. and Corisicana, TX, Wellington, TX areas. If anyone knows anything about the Taylor families, I would love to correspond with you.
