    1. [TXPALOPI] My Taylor family
    2. The very first time I find my Taylor family is in 1880, living in Caldwell County, Texas. My Cornelius Taylor is supposed to have been born in Indiana, 1826. I am assuming, by census and, by the age of a son, William T. Taylor, he was married before he married my great grandmother, Louisa Hollingshead. I know, not a good thing to assume anything in genealogy. On the Caldwell County census there were 6 children, William T., born 1864, Mary Taylor, born 1874, Viola Victoria Taylor, born Feb. 12, 1875, John Taylor, born 1876, Zora Ziola Taylor, born 1878, Lula Taylor, born May 14, 1879 all in AL. By 1900 the family was in Custer County, IT-OK with 2 additional children, Lela F. Taylor, born May 1884 and Claud, born April 1886 in Texas. William T. Taylor married Sarah Newton in Custer County, OK in 1897. Viola married William Riley Griffin in Custer County, OK in 1899. Lula Taylor married Elmo Trigg and moved to Palo Pinto County, Texas. In 1900 they were living in Palo Pinto County with 4 children. 1900 Palo Pinto, TX Census records Elmo listed his occupation as a coal miner. Lela Taylor is living in same household with her parents in 1910 with a 6 year old child. She is listed as a widow and her surname is now Cummings. I have no idea who she married nor what happened to her husband. I have been told she married a man named Gold McEntyer and died in Pampa, Grey County, Texas. Zora Ziola, married William Morton in Custer County, OK. I know nothing of John, Mary or Claud. Cornelius died sometime after 1910. I do not know where he is buried nor the date of his death. He was on Custer County Census in 1910. I know his wife, Louisa, was visiting my grandmother, Viola Victoria Taylor Griffin, in Titus County, TX when she died in 1917, There was almost a family feud when she was buried in the family cemetery in Titus County instead of being shipped back to OK. I wish I knew more about these ancestors of mine. Thanks for any information, Darlene
