Rootsweb entry from another researcher: (PART I)

Dear List; HELP!! (With a Great Big Please!)

I have been researching my GG Grandfather, William Thomas Taylor, b. Sept. 1,1841, d. June 29,1913.

I have all the information up to his birth date and depending on which source is correct, his State of birth.

Most entries indicate he was born in Tennessee, a couple of sources indicate Kentucky, (Horse Cave, Kentucky), and, at age 25, in the 1870 Census of Flat Creek Township #50, Stone Co., Missouri, he is listed as being born in Alabama.

He is buried at the Oakdale Cemetery in Monet, Missouri. He purchased land, (40 acres), in Southern Stone Co., Missouri from the McDonald Land And Mining Company, (a Corporation of Missouri), on Feb. 5,1916. That land was sold by his children after William Thomas Taylor's death. The sale of the 40 acres was concluded on August 11,1947. I have hit a brick wall concerning HIS PARENTS and HIS ANCESTRY. With the info. that I have shared about William Thomas Taylor in this e-mail, can anyone suggest any areas of research, ideas, resources, anything that might help me find out who his parents were?

He married Anna (Annie) Isabella Owens on Oct. 5,1865 in Potosi, Washington Co., Missouri.

Anna Isabella Owens, b. Oct. 29,1844, d. Jan. 28,1915. She was born in Washington Co., Missouri. She died in Monett, Missouri, but she was buried in the Owens Cemetery in Stone County, Missouri.

I am very willing and intent on doing whatever it takes to get the research that I want for my families' history, most of all, for my Mother. We have been researching this together and she's so excited about the things we've learned so far.

We found our Taylor ancestors pictured and their histories written in the History Of Stone County Missouri, Volume 1 and Volume 2.

My hope and dream is to find this info. and break into the "old" family history and make my Mother happy. I am 50 years old now, Mom is still 39 & counting, of course. She has been the most wonderful, loving, PATIENT Mother to me that anyone could ever be fortunate enough to have. I love my Mother and I want to do this for her. We want to do this together.

Thanks for any suggestions,

Sincerely,
Craig Taylor Richardson
