Surnames: TAYLOR - DOWDY Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/JeB.2ACE/609 Message Board Post: Hi Everyone, My gggrandparents were MARTHA TAYLOR & JOSEPH DOWDY. Both were from Tennessee - the DECATUR COUNTY AREA I think. MARTHA was born about 1867. I think her parents were SMITH K. & REBECCA TAYLOR. I am trying to confirm this. My cousin said that MARTHA had sisters: Sarena Isabel b. 21 February 1879 Decatur Tn., Sarah J., and Mary Ann (Anner) & a brother George W. is on the 1910 BUTLER COUNTY MO. census with Martha. I think Martha & Joseph were married 14 January 1886 in Decatur Tennessee. Can anyone give me any information on this Taylor family? Also if anyone has information on JOSEPH DOWDY? I have absolutely nothing for Joseph Dowdy but his name. I would really appreciate any help. Thanks & have a wonderful day. Angie
