Thank you for responding.
Taylor: I have Isaac Newton Taylor as my G Grandfather, then my grandfather was Hosea Newton Taylor born in Centerville, Georgia around 1902. He had 2 brothers and a sister by the name of Maude, who according to my dad went to a finishing school for young ladies by the name of St. Albans...in New York or Pennsylvania. He said that G Grandfather was a cotton merchant before the Civil War and died 5 years after the war. He served in the Confederate Army of Virginia and came home from the war missing his right hand. My dad said the land they owned was "conscripted" (whatever that means) and the family resettled near Centerville Ga. There was some unrest in the family concerning my grandfather, Hosea Newton Taylor marrying an Indian girl so he and a brother moved to Junction City. After G grandmother died, Maude also moved to Junction city and resumed ties with Hosea. Hosea was said to have "bought the papers" from a farmer on a cotton buying trip in Arkansas, for Grandmother. Her name was Virginia McNabb. He was around 22 and Virginia was about 15. They were married in Junction City Ark in 1928. My father stated that he was only 4 years old when they were divorced. Hosea and Virginia had three sons, Howard Clinton Taylor born 1930, Thomas Newton, Born 1933 and Herbert Eugene (my dad) born 1935. My dad and mother, Phyllis Starley had 2 sons, Eugene and me, Veronon Craig Taylor. My dad and mother were divorced before I was born.
McNabb:
Virginia McNabbs mother was Lula Adkinson, her father was George Baxter McNabb. She had a brother Acey R. Mcnabb born 10-29-07 and sisters, Fanny born about 1903 who died at around 16 years old, and another sister Wilma (1912-14)? My grandmother Viginia born 12-24-09 in Georgia (my dad stated 1914 in Delight Arakansas), Acey and Fanny were sold or traded when they were children. Her mother Lula Adkinson evidently died in a drowning accident in Feb 1922. She is buried in Whitfield County Ga. From what I can gather, Lula's mothers name was Eve. My grandmother Virginia married a John W Atkinson (Adkinson) and they had about 9 children: We believe the names are Acey, Alvin, Albert, Charles, Margie, Phyllis, Virgil, Virginia and Vivian (gathered on the rootsweb site). Grandmother died in Sept 1986 in California according to my dad. We think she also abandoned the Atkinson (adkinson) children around Hot Springs Arkansas. Some where in the McNabb information we obtained there is also the mention of a Viola and Will Adcock.
Any information you could provide would be very much appreciated. Also if you have any contact information for people who might know. From the roots web site around 2000 there was a Debbie Brantley who seemed to have quite a bit of information, we believe she is in the Acey R. McNabb line. Thanks again for responding. . . we are hopeful we can make a positive connection to our family soon.
Thanks, Craig and LaDeen
