She told us that she met grandpa on the ship coming to america, she was 16 years old at the time. That makes grandpa 21 at the crossing. I do have their marriage certificate, Feb. 18, 1892. I have the passport of my other grandparents certainly wish I had been able to find the Bartunek one."

Robert J. TAYLOR, M.D., was born in 1846 in Franklin County, the eighth of nine children (five deceased) of Jesse, Sr., and Nancy (HILL) TAYLOR, the former of German Stock, born in May, 1810, in Pope (now Saline) County, Illinois Territory, and the latter probably of English blood, born in April, 1812, in Kentucky. The grandparents, Herring and Sallie (COTTON) TAYLOR, came from Tennessee when southern Illinois was a wilderness, locating in White (now Franklin) County when Jessie was only four years old. The latter grew up in pioneer life and helped clear the land now owned by the heirs and widow of the late Milton C. TAYLOR. Deer and turkey hunting were familiar pastimes.
In 1829 he married Nancy HILL and settled on his present farm in Northern Township. She died in February, 1867. Jesse TAYLOR is still living and with oursubject. The Doctor was educated in his native county, in this county, and at Ewing High School(now college), which he attended the first day and term of its organization. When twenty-one he began for himself, by teaching in winter and farming in summer, excepting the first two summers spent in attendance at school at Ewing. In October, 1873, he attended lectures at Keokuk, and graduated at the end of the second course, in the spring of 1874. He returned with his diploma, and has ever since been practicing at this present home, and engaged in farm superintendence, excepting one year's practice at Spring Garden in Jefferson County, with Dr. J. PEAVLER
In 1876 he married Amanda PEAVLER who died in May, 1877. In October, 1880, he married Parlee, a daughter of T.J. and Sarah FOWLER. Lua Althea and De Bruce are their living children, and Josie F. and an infant are deceased. His wife was born in 1860 in Weakley County, Tenn.
Our subject is highly regarded as a man and physician, and in politics is Democrat, first voting for Seymour. He is an Odd Fellow and a member of the F. M. B. A. order. For two years he was township clerk, and was school treasurer seven years. The father cast his first vote for Jackson, and has always since been a Democrat. He was constable fourteen years and county supervisor and commissioner.

Letter from William Hill Dawson -"In the late Judge Joe Hill notes at Benton, Illinois we did find a record from George Milton Hill stating Rev. Isaac Hill died at a log raising in 1828. Thoughts seem to bear out that Middle Folk Church had burned and was being built about this time. Age 56 in 1828 gives birth year as 1772. If so, his marriage to Mary Barnes in Rowan County, North Carolina in 1788 has his marriage age at 16. Seems a wee bit early for the average."

Reprint of Biographical sketch of Isaac Hill (1845) from "Portrait and Biographical Record of Clinton, Washington, Marion and Jefferson Counties, Illinois" (Chapman Publishing Co., Chicago 1894." "The Paternal grandfather of our subject came from England and located first in Virginia, whence he later removed to North Carolina, and finally went to Hamilton Cou. in 1808, where he was one of the earliest pioneers. Isaac, of this sketch, was named after his great-grandfather, who came to Illinois with his son and assisted in organizing the first Baptist Association in the state of which we have any account, and which was located at a place called Unity, in Jackson County. Isaac Hill Sr departed this life in Hamilton Co. in 1828, when fifty-six years of age."

Kathleen Bartunek wrote that her grandfather, Hans Peter Nelson had brought his wife and four children to America. She listed the children as William, Charles, Gus Nelso, and Ida. Whether Ida was the youngest or the only girl, we don't know. Two more names are listed, Lenore Freddy, perhaps born in America?

Bevidere Farm visit with Dad, Harry E. Taylor, Jr. son of Harry E. Taylor and Helen Thomas Jones:
Mother had two brothers: Stanley Jones was shot and killed by a German sniper in Germany. The Armistice had just been signed, but they didn't know.
The other brother, Dye, had a drinking problem. Their mother, Annie Williams Jones put syrup of ipecac in Dye's liquor. He got dreadfully sick, discovered what his mother had done and announced he was leaving. None of the family ever saw him or heard from him again.
