Seeking to contact decendents of Martha J Taylor wife of Allen Taylor who lived in Thurston Co in the 1920's. Hoping to find information that will help locate one of her sister's (Sarah) graves. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Mary,

When you post, add specific information such as dates of birth, places of birth, etc., about the persons you seek. It really helps the researcher.

I did not find a Martha or Allen/Allan/Alan Taylor in Thurston County in the 1920 or 1930 Census. I did find a Sarah J. Taylor, married to a Joseph B Taylor in Tenino, Thurston County. Did Sarah also marry a Taylor? This Sarah was born about 1876 in Washington to father born in Missouri, mother in Illinois. But, from below, this is probably not who you seek.

From your other postings, I see you are seeking a Sarah C. Deaton, born in Rockcastle, Kentucky, about 1854. This Sarah married a Joseph Reynolds and moved to Missouri, she died early 1890's. In another posting, Sarah did have a sister Martha J. Deaton, born in Kentucky, about 1854.

The Washington Death Certificate Index shows
---Martha J. Taylor, father's name Deaton, died on 17 Oct 1927 in Olympia, Thurston County at age 61 years, 7 months and 7 days (about 1866, March 10).
---Everett Taylor, son of Martha Deaton and Allen Taylor, died 10 May 1947 in Lakeview, Pierce County, WA, at age 51 years, 8 months, and 12 days.
---Mary Elizabeth Patnude, died 28 Feb 1957 in Bremerton, Kitsap County, WA, at age 73 years 6 months and 15 days. Parents Martha Deaton and Allen Taylor
---James Harris Taylor, died 27 Oct 1953, in Ritzville, Adams Co, Washington at age 67 years.
---Allen Taylor, died 20 Nov 1922 in Pleasant/Glade, Thurston Co, WA, at age 69 years, 11 months, 5 days (1853), son of Noah Taylor and mothers name "Thompson". Spouse was "Mrs. Allen Taylor".

One family tree showed 11 children and a picture of her. The owner "OurFamilyStories" was sent a message to read this thread. Unless this person is you, this person has a lot of information on this family.
--There were several others having a family tree that included Martha; but they did not seem to have much information, none had sister Sarah.

Hopefully this "OurFamilyStories" will come on to your rescue for looking for descendants having information.

If not, take the death information provided and obtain the obituaries. The Washington State Library has a free research service, the ask-a-librarian program, where they will look for information in the archives, in this case the newspaper microfilm for an event, such as an obituary. They will look up to an hour and send you the results. Contact them at: http://www.secstate.wa.gov/library/ask.aspx .
