TAYLOR's father is. I found a divorce paper of Sion and Dianna (MILLER) TAYLOR and on it it stated that Sion TAYLOR of Richard TAYLOR which means that Richard was his father. I knew that Margaret was their mother, but didn't have records on the father. Just spoke to Dawn Peters yesterday and told her of this new finding. My sister and I had taken trips to Hawkins, Carter and Roane County in search of Sion Taylor and his Descendant. If you look in 1860 census you see that brothers Sion and John R TAYLOR live next door to each other. If you look back further to Carter County census of 1850 you will see both living with mother Margaret TAYLOR. John R.'s female children are named after Sion's wife's Amanda Jane and Dianna. I'm sure since I gave the information to Dawn she in her infiinity of wisdom will be able to find more. This has been a long journey, but am glad that I had some answer for all of us who have been stumped for years!! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
