A search of the 1900 census uncovered Dawson Taylor, (b1858) a Texas head of household who’s vital information matched that of Dawson Taylor, the son of Mariah Taylor. Originally from Madison, Georgia (see 1870 census) he, and younger brother Daniel (b1860) opted out of Georgia for unknown reasons, relocating to Harrison county Texas, and Bolivar county Mississippi respectfully. Daniel, and his wife Emma were positively identified via Morgan county Georgia marriage records.

It is my endeavor to reconnect the family ties that were severed when distance became a factor in keeping our family communications lines open. If you are related to or know of someone who is related to Dawson or Daniel Taylor, I would love to hear from you.
