I think he had a brother, James, who married Delilah Lea in 1822...they were bondsmen for each other, so, I would guess they are brothers (marrying sisters likely). John and Nancy had 10 kids that I have been able to find: Elizabeth J., Nancy, Mary, James, Will, Sarah M., Benjamin F., Sidney A., Minerva A., and Zachary Taylor (my g-g-g'father). It looks like John had a sister named Patience. Zachary married Mary A. Simmons of Richmond; g-grandfather, Robert Sidney (VA); g'father, Robert Henry (Chatham County, NC); father, John Henry (Chatham Coutny, NC). Prior to John (1823), I've found some information but haven't been able to verify it yet: his father was John, born 1722 in Craven County, NC; William born 1700 in Horse's Creek, Surry, VA, and his father John, born 1680 in Surry county. I'd love to share information with you! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
