Michael, you don't know me but your mom used to babysit me when I was little. :-) My name is Jeff (but I'm not your uncle). My parents were neighbors of your mom's parents for over 40 years so I more or less grew up with your mom and her family. I was helping your grandpa with his computer last week and we watched a little of the DVD you produced... you did a great job!

Thanks for the compliments, Jeff! It's a small world.

I'm possibly related to him. I have relatives with the last name of "Taylor" mostly in Virginia, North Carolina and parts of Louisiana. That last name is from my mother's father's side and my last name is Taylor.

ZT had one Son, Richard whose 2 sons died as youths during Civil war. No Taylor sons lived to have children. Daughters might have. My family claimed a direct descent so I have been trying to make our connection to our relative named Ida May Taylor. Any input? Joe Bollert at bollert@cox.net

I possibly am related to him. This is what my mothers grandmother says. Her name was Shirley Taylor from Oklahoma.

My mother's mother was Annabelle Taylor, born to Emma Givens and Eugene Taylor. Emma Givens, was 3/4 white and was most likely owned by the Taylor family. Eugene Taylor was white. He born on the Fashion Plantation, Hahnville, LA. Fashion was purchased by President Zachary Taylor for his son General Richard Taylor. My mother said that Zachary Taylor was her mother's mother's uncle. I know that Richard Taylor's sister lived in this area.
