Did you ever find any info on John Taylor - husband of Sarah Medora Hyles? My g-great grandfather was their son Alonzo Taylor. I see in the July, 1860 census that Sarah and Alonzo (without John) were listed as living with her parents in Giles Tennessee. But in a later census where Sarah was listed as a widow..that she also had a son Francis Taylor born in July of 1861. So I am guessing John was alive for the 1860 census...I wonder if he was in the military but I know nothing of him to give me a clue - he seems to be a mystery.
