John & Eliza are 63 and 64, respectively. The family does not know who this 15 year old is. He has never been identified as a child of John & Eliza through any family oral tradition or records. That's the only clue I have. We have corresponded through emails previously. Sorry I can't be of more help.

She said he was found in the woods after his family had been killed and was taken in by the Taylors. After hearing this story, I started doing genealogy and saw that The Taylors were quite a prominent family in Winston Co.! Unfortunantly, I haven't been able to find anything about my ggggrandfather.<br /><br />He was born around 1849 and shows up on the 1850 census (Hancock County, then) as living with the Williams but my grandmother remembers very precisley that he accredited the Taylors. Do you have any stories of one of a Taylor taking in an orphaned boy between 1850 and 1860? He would've been under 10. His name was John Hand. If you have anything at all, I would love to hear from you. Thank you!P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08640251185097554910noreply@blogger.com
