The earliest record that I have for him is that of 1870 census Preston County, Union District, pg 198. He is living with Mary 52 - MD., Ninevah 27-MD., and- Zacharia 23 - MD. I also have his will and propate record, and have been to his grave in the "Old Eglon Cemetery". In 1880, he is still living in Preston County, with his wife Melena. I suspect that his wife was using her middle name at this time, due to the fact that their daughter was actually Mary Ninevah of above. Their son, Zachariah Taylor shows up on later cenusus with different wives. John P and his wife state that they were born in MD as well as their parents and the two children. So they must have ties to that area. On the marriage records of Preston County, Mary Ninevah is listed as Ninny PAW, she married William O. GEORGE who was from Scotland. That is about all that I have been able to find proof of. According to John P. PAUGH's tombstone, he was born 4/27/1813 and died 11/22/1888. Someone told me that he also had children Enoch and Isabella, born earlier. No proof on that as yet either. Thanks for anything you can find and share. Deborah
