Doris,

I don't know if there is a connection or not, but my great-great grandfather's name was JACOB FENTON TAYLOR. He was born in 1832 in Cincinnati, Ohio, but by 1837 was living in Boone County, Indiana with his parents, JONATHON and MARY TAYLOR. I do not have much information, except that Jonathon died in Boone County in 1837, leaving behind his wife and five children: William, James, Eliza Ann, Lydia, and Jacob. All children were placed under the court-appointed guardianship of EDWARD LANE. Jacob was later found under the guardianship of JAMES CARR. Do you know of any connections between your William and any of these people?
