TAGGART
Looking for more
information on David James Taggart who lived in the Authur area
following the civil war. He was sent to Moultrie County from New York
City to live with a, to date, an unknown relative as a child (age
10-15). At 16 or 17 he enlisted in the war (Mattoon). He was a part of
Co H 123 INF. I have everything I really need following his enlisting
in the war. He married a Margaret Farmer of Moultrie County and
eventually moved to Nebraska in the early 1880s. He was born March 3,
1845, Married Margaret on the John Martin (Uncle) farm in Moultrie Co.
(April 22, 1875) and died in Doniphan, Nebraska (Aug. 29, 1896). They
had 3 children born to them in Moultrie Co. Edgar Jan 8.1876, Otis May
3, 1878, and Nellie June 6, 1881.
My big dilemma is where did he come
from (NY City, the story is he sold newspapers on the street as a
youngster)? Who were his parents (no clue) they were possible immigrants
from Northern Ireland as David James always said he was a Scots Irish?
Who were the relatives he stayed with in Moultrie Co. (maybe an Aunt
Sara)?

TAYLOR
I am looking for information about Amos Elmer Taylor born April 1866,
probably in Moultrie County, and his wife, Cora Ann Johnson born 1875 in Moultrie
County. She died May 27, 1917 in Jackson County, Indiana. They were married
December 21, 1891 in Sullivan. My mother-in-law Thelma McMahon Thompson,
grand-daughter of this couple, once wrote that she was born in Gas City, but we
had always heard Sullivan. My question is, when and where was Amos Elmer
Taylor born, and when and where did he die. It was some time after 1951. The
second part of my query is about Amos's daughters : Monte Grace and Monta
"Babe" Taylor. Monte Grace we believe was born before the 1900 census and Monta
"Babe" after the census. What happened to them? Where and when were they
born, married, died, buried? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Amos's parents were Charles H. Taylor and Mary A. Johnson (or Cunningham).
Charles was born in New York about 1833 and died after 1910. She was born
about 1830 and died after 1870. I would like to learn more about them. Cora
Ann's parents were Henry Burl Johnson 1830-1907 and Katherine Ann Myers
1836-1878. They are supposedly buried in Johathan Creek Cemetery. Any help on
them would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
Bonita Thompson
Jackson County, Indiana.

September 1865. According to her death certificate, she was born near
Sullivan, Illinois. But I don't know how true this is since it is
reported that her family came to Illinois in 1870. Her parents are
James T. Taylor and Elizabeth A. Dubler. James and Elizabeth had seven
kids according to the 1880 census, William M., Martin, Mattie, Frankie,
Hattie, Jas, and Lee. Frankie married John R. Sharp 6 August 1889 in
Sullivan, Illinois, and had the following children: Roeland, Dick(my
great grandpa), Adlai, Nellie, Charles, Pearl, and Leota. Any
information that I can anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated.

TREADWAY
I am researching
the surname Treadway. I have documents that state that Samuel Jennings
Treadway was born in Allenville, ILL. 3/3/1897. I am the
gr-grandaughter of Samuel Jennings Treadway. According to my
grandmother he was born in Allenville, IL 3/3/1897. At the time of his
death in Nov. of 1971 he still had 4 brothers living.
Oscar, born 1/30/1898, died Aug 1968
in Columbus, Ohio.
Alonzo was born: 4/9/1902 and died:
Aug 1975 in Fort Worth, TX.
Joseph was born: 3/29/1906 and died
April 1978 in Springfield, Mass.
And John of Danville,ILL. In 1917
Samuel married Edna Mary Moon and they had 6 children. The interesting
thing is that none of his children know anything of his past. What they
do know is that at some point when he was young he was given to an Aunt
that lived in Marion County, Ohio and raised. I haven't been able to
get any information about him really other than what is listed in his
obit. If anyone out there can help. please contact me. From maps that I
have found of that area it look like they may have been located in
Sullivan or East Nelson twp. I am desperate to find anything on him.
There are no family stories about his childhood...he never talked about
it. If you can help me locate him in the area I'd appreciate it. I was
thinking the 1900 census, maybe a marriage license, death notice
something to that affect. I'd be happy with anything...especially the
names of his parents.

VARNER
Searching for
information concerning Zackariah VARNER, first wife Caroline EARP, and
second wife Eliza A. PENTZER. Zackariah VARNER, my
great-great-granduncle, was born in Ohio about 1836, a son of Henry
VARNER and Sarah (maiden name unknown). He married Caroline EARP in
Moultrie County, Illinois, 23 Jan 1862. Caroline was born about April
1847 and died prematurely (apparently at age 17) on 28 June 1864. She
is buried in Hewitt Cemetery, Lovington, Moultrie County. No children
are recorded. Following Caroline’s death, Zackariah married Eliza A.
(Anna) PENTZER in Montgomery Co., Illinois, 14 Dec 1865, and the couple
had at least seven children. I don’t yet know when Zackariah died.
Any information about EARP, PENTZER, and VARNER would be appreciated.
