Samuel Sylvestor Taylor, John Taylor, Robert Taylor

RayVick51 — 2013-04-29 16:26:46Z

William Robert Taylor was an early settler in Grant Co, IN. Wife Mary Taylor nee Hoppes buried in Pence Cem is FaG memorial 27217000. I am pretty sure William's son Samuel went to live in Richland, Jay Co, IN near John M. Taylor who I believe was Samuel's uncle i.e. William Robert's brother.

Another son William Preston Taylor b 9 Mar 1839 in Fayette Co, OH is apparently in Richland, Jay Co, IN in 1852/53 at school based on the Richland school record.

I am pretty sure William R. and Mary were also the parents of my Robert Taylor who married Rebecca Caylor in Jay Co, IN in 1850, probably Richland Twp. One daughter was Sarah Emma Taylor probably born Grant Co although son William Preston was born Jay Co in 1851.

These TAYLORs are connected to many early Jay Co families e.g. McKinney, Hoppes, Maitlen, & Fiers.

There is lots of info on these TAYLORs. Anybody with interest in them email LRAYVICK@cox.net

Re: Rook-Forddred

greenefamily7 — 2012-12-04 10:12:14Z

thanks for the information, that gives me a lot more on the Rooks, I have been trying for months to find a marriage record for Emma Rook and George Forddred and boy is it hard, I am not even sure where and when they met, I do know they lived in Tacoma because that is where my grandmother was born and I know they were in Canada since James was born there. I have no idea what became of George Forddred-from what we were told was that he left Emma because my grandmother had been born deaf, Emma married John James Eden in Canada where James was born and her marriage license says widow but I also can't find a death record for George Forddred. Thanks again for your help Teri

IN the 1870 Census William H. Norris (11)was living in the Isaac Finkbone home in Bearcreek, Jay, Indiana, In the 1880 Census Mary C. Finkbone had married Michael O'Harrow and William H. Norris was living in that home. He was 21.

It thrills me that others are seeking information on William and Levi.

Re: Levi T. Norris, died Oct 7, 1907 in Wayne twp

JaneLacy18 — 2012-10-27 14:48:03Z

Levi Tummins Norris had a son David K. Norris born in 1861 or 1862. Perhaps Dorthy Ann Norris died in child birth. My William and David K married into the Cox family.

Is Levi buried beside Dorthy Ann Daugherty Norris in the Daugherty Cemetery?

Re: Levi T. Norris, died Oct 7, 1907 in Wayne twp

Most interesting!

Such a tragic end.

As I progress in research on Levi's ancestors I'll update here.

Do you know if he received a pension for military service?

He's been a mystery for me for more than 20 years.

Many thanks!

Levi b. 30 Jan. 1820 in Columbus, OH
Married 14 March 1850 in Jay Co. IN to Dorothy Ann Daugherty.( My line is from this marriage. I also have a marriage of Levi to Julie Ann Long and had 5 children.
Died 10 Oct. 1907 in Jay Co. IN at age 81 yrs. burial at Daugherty Cemetery Jay Co. IN The Children of Levi and Dorothy are:
Jacob D. b. 1850

Mary Catherine b. 1857-died 1949 married McCollum and O'Harrow.

I have a copy of obit for Levi but with the middle name P.
and said he has 10 children seven and the mother are dead in 1907. He was an inmate of the county infirmary since June 1902.

Phil, I have tried to answer your various queries over the years and they always bounced. Good to hear from you!

One additional bit of info - I'm trying to track down the Tummins name - believe it would have been the surname of an earlier ancestor. Will share any progress.

I'm also trying to track down Levi's son's middle name - Connelly - believe that, too, might help trace further back.

Re: Levi T. Norris, died Oct 7, 1907 in Wayne twp

sandmman — 2012-10-25 15:11:07Z

I've misplaced the obit for L. T. Norris.

As a result of inaccurate oral history of the family I initially dismissed the possibility of a second marriage. My apologies. It does fit in with another tidbit - that of Earl Connelly Norris requesting that his wife not remarry upon his death due to potential difficulties with different families.

The age difference is throwing me. You indicate he was born 30 Jan 1820 while 1870 census shows his age as 30 and 1880 census shows his age as 49.

Will you send obit info to me?

Thanks!

Hi Jan,
Email me privately at arpaggie@aol.com and I will send you my address. This is so exciting to know more about my Norris line. The children of Levi's were sent to other families to work. William and David K. Norris married cousins. Levi enlisted in the Army in 1861 and was probably gone when his wife died and the children divided up.

I have wanted to go back to Ohio to see family sites for years and now I want to include Indiana.

This is great news to know Levi Tummins Norris was married twice. I would like to have a copy of his obit. The Norris name is hard to track down. I spent years fighting a brick wall on my gr,gr grandfather. I have looked for William Henry Norris's father for ages.

Re: BARBER & BAKER, Indiana

keithnuttle — 2012-10-19 21:28:24Z

While there may not be any adoption records there may be a guardianship set up for the children. This is more likely if there was any money in the biological parent's estate.

Look in the Guardianship records or administrative records for the probate court. Don't forget the accounting records where trust etc. were monitored and closed out.

You may find some clues in the will of the people who adopted the children.

I have just completed a project to find information on the adoption of a 2nd great grandfather.

Re: Levi T. Norris, died Oct 7, 1907 in Wayne twp

JaneLacy18 — 2012-10-15 20:33:47Z

The Levi T. Norris I am tracing was born in Ohio and lived in Wabash, Adams Co., Indiana. He was married to Doretha Doherty( other spellings). She died young and left five children. They were sent to live with others. William H. Norris was next to the youngest and lived with the Isaac Finkbone family that had ties to Darke Co., Ohio but lived in Jay Co., Indiana.
The children were Jacob, John G., Isabella L.,Mary Catherine, William H and David K.

Re: Levi T. Norris, died Oct 7, 1907 in Wayne twp

sandmman — 2012-10-15 17:47:27Z

Thanks for the attempt to contact.

Levi T. Norris married Julia Ann Long 11 Jul 1867 in Putnam County, OH.

His reported age on 1880 census was 49 and born in OH while 1870 indicates 30 and born in IN. Family member(s) associated with him are otherwise consistent.

Does this fit in with your Levi Norris?

Re: BARBER & BAKER, Indiana

Re: Flesher Cemetery

Flesher Cemetery is located east and just a little south of Redkey, Jay County, Indiana in the middle of West CR 650 South, and South CR 550 East terminates right at the cemetery. Probably the easiest way to find it is to go to Google Maps, search for the following: Flesher Cemetery, Jefferson, Jay County, IN and press the enter key. If you back the map out a little, you should be able to easily find it.

Family legend is that Ethel was born to Jonathan Robert Brubaker and Minerva Counterman. After Minerva died Ethel was raised by Ben Brubaker and Josephine Spahr. I believe they adopted her.
Clyde is the son of Ben & Josephine and Charles is the son of Jonathan and Minerva. Jonathan and Ben were brothers.

Hello! Jacob and Caroline Bash were my great-great-great grandparents. One of their children was Blanche Bash. Blanche married Clarence Alexander. Blanche and Clarence only had one child before she was killed in an accident. His name was Fred Alexander. Fred married Hazel Hayden.

Fred and Hazel had two children, one of which was Clarence Alexander. Clarence was my grandfather. He married my grandmother, Cristobel Kintner. They had three children, including my mother Pamela Alexander. My mother married Larry Richards, my father, in 1974. My parents had two children. Myself, Tony Richards (b. 1979), and my brother, Scott Richards (b. 1982).

Thank you, sir. But, we've lost touch _ someone hijacked my email account a while ago. I got it back after a costly time _ but without any of the addresses! Lost a slew of genealogy contacts, including you. Email me?
