TAYLOR - MILLER - EVANS
Bill Taylor Fri, 02 Jan 1998 10:12:52
Looking for any info on my Taylor ancestors.  My g-g-grandfather William Littleberry TAYLOR (1838-????) lived in Lauderdale Co., AL from late 1850's to around 1880.  His wife was Sarah MILLER.  They lived at one time in Westmorelandville, which I have not been able to locate.  After Sarah's death around 1880, William took the kids and moved to northeastern MS.  He got married again, this time to Mary Jane EVANS, and I think it was before he left Lauderdale Co.  William's only surviving son from his marriage to Sarah MILLER (that I know about) was my g-grandfather William Samuel TAYLORY (1862-1917).  That's basically all I have, so any info will be appreciated.
