While searching for my Great-Grandfather's Pension application I came across the widow's pension application of a Nancy Jane Taylor. Therein she claims she and Thomas E. Taylor were married in Sullivan County, TN on Jan 4th 1869. Another document attached, filed by a witness, claims the marriage occurred around 1874. Thomas E. Taylor is said to have been born June 4th, 1843 or 1848 in Sullivan County, TN. Other documents enclosed refer to Thomas as Elijah Taylor. Thomas is alleged to have died at Carter's Depot, now South Wautauga, Aug. 8, 1903 or 1908. Within the application Nancy says they had 10 children. By 1914 five of the children are dead. Nancy claims her maiden name is Nancy Jane Roberson, and that she was born 11/27/1856 in Yancy County, NC. Ancestry.com does have a Nancy Jane Taylor b. 2/25/1864 in Yancy County, Burnsville, NC. She is the daughter of John Roberson and Mary Elizabeth Kyser. Is there a descendent of Thomas Elijah Tayor b. 1856 Sullivan County, d. 1903 or 1908 Carter County, TN out there?
