Taylor Queries and Comments
In the future, there is a plan to have companion information about my maternal lines as well on these pages.
Queries:
1. Can anyone give the date of the photo of Margaret DUMOND seen on the family photos page? Bob Taylor
2. Can anyone support or refute the contention that Stephen TAYLOR of Windsor was a son of Robert and Thomasyne SMALLRIDGE TAYLOR? My first exposure to the name was on the LDS Ancestral File, which posted a lineage backwards of three generations of Robert TAYLOR. My own search of church records revealed that this was not possible, but did not either show that this Stephen was or was not a son of Robert and Thomasyne. Bob Taylor
3. I would dearly love information as to the parents of Ruth PRESTON, wife of Tahan TAYLOR. This couple is listed in the Town of Litchfield, Connecticut vital records, and marriage records of Connecticut, but no parents are given for her. The oft quoted birth date of Ruth PRESTON as born in 1730 is incorrect. That Ruth was a daughter of Col. Wm. Preston of southern Litchfield County, and she is the one who married Joseph Perry, and had a family around Woodbury, Conn. Bob Taylor
4. When did Tahan and Ruth leave Litchfield, Conn. for Berkshire Co., Mass. and why? Bob Taylor
5. When did Tahan and Asenath leave West Stockbridge, why and where did they go before ending in Franklin, NY? Bob Taylor
6. The parents of Burit/Binit/Burl/Burret ANDERSON remain unknown. He first is recorded in public records at his marriage to Mary Amanda WALLING in 1829. If any ANDERSON researchers have any hints about his parents in Monmouth Co, NJ, please contact me to discuss the possibilities. Bob Taylor
