Posted on: San Saba Co., TX Queries<br> with Automated Mailing List Posting Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/SanSaba/668 Surname: Taylor, Norman, Davenport ------------------------- My wife is also descended from James Kaneer Taylor of San Saba County. I have seen the name spelled both Kaneer and Kanier, but I think Kaneer is correct. I have a picture of his tombstone taken in 1997, but I don't know what has happened to it since then. My wife is the ggg grandaughter of James K. and Ann Eliza Taylor, through Mary Virginia Taylor Gibbons and her husband Billy Gibbons, then Forrest McGregor and Mary Adelia Gibbons McGregor, then Norman Dean Adams and Billie Louise McGregor. My wife is Donna Louise Adams Wigley. Your Great Grandfather Elbert N. Taylor married Eudora Frances Davenport, and also his sister Susan Mariah Taylor married Luther Calvin Davenport - and there is where you are related to a lot of Davenports in Richland Springs. There is a statement in the History of San Saba County that states that the James K. Taylor family settled within half a mile from the Davenports, and that five marriages took place between the two families. I will have to research any background in law enforcement or Civil War service - nothing pops immediately to mind.
