I’m back to my family tree after over a year’s hiatus due to work demands. I’ve reviewed all my notes and research to date and am ready to dive back into the gene pool! I would appreciate any information and/or connections anyone might recognize. I have dependable info as far back as my paternal grandparents…

John William TAYLOR
b. 02 May 1862 (maybe Winston County, MS)
d. 17 Jul 1946 (in Jasper County, MS)
m. 01 Apr 1883 (in Clarke County, MS)
Nancy Jane MARTIN (father was Daniel L. Martin)
b. 04 May 1858
d. 07 Apr 1940

Children of John W. and Nancy...

Barney Emanuel TAYLOR
b. 15 Jan 1884
d. 23 Apr 1942

John Edward (Edd) TAYLOR (my grandfather)
b. 01 Jul 1882 (1882 in Soc. Sec; 1884 in WWI draft; 1886 in Census)
d. 23 Feb 1971
m. 23 Feb 1913
Mary Magdaline KING

Pearl Victoria TAYLOR COX

d. 08 Aug 1902

Moselle TAYLOR (died as infant)

I THINK John William Taylor's father was W. L. TAYLOR. In the 1880 Clarke County, MS Census (District 3), there's this household:

W. L. TAYLOR Self M M W 58 AL Occ: Farmer Fa: AL Mo: AL
Millie TAYLOR Wife F M W 51 AL Occ: Keeping House Fa: AL
John TAYLOR Son M M W 20 MS Occ: Farm Hand Fa: AL Mo: AL
J. E. TAYLOR Son M M W 17 MS Occ: Farm Hand Fa: AL Mo: AL

In the 1900 Clarke County, MS Census there's a mother living with John W. and Nancy:

TAYLOR, John W. Head W M May 1862 28 M17 MS/SC/AL...
TAYLOR, Nancy Wife W F May 1858 42 M17 5/4 MS/NC/MS...
TAYLOR, Barney E. Son W M Jan 1884 16 S MS/MS/MS...
TAYLOR, John E. Son W M Jul 1886 13 S MS/MS/MS...
TAYLOR, Pearl V. Dau W F Mar 1890 10 S MS/MS/MS...
TAYLOR, Ollie L. Son W M Jul 1894 5 S MS/MS/MS...
TAYLOR, Millie Mother W M Jan 1825 75 Wd 6/3 AL/NC/AL...

I’m assuming W. L. TAYLOR died between 1880 and 1900. Anyone have any information on W. L. TAYLOR or see any connections?

Thanks,
John
