I've been reading your David A. Taff information on Ancestry.com message board. He is also the great, great grandfather of my husband Doyle C. Taff. Doyle's great grandfather was William Oglesbury (W.O.) Taff. He was the oldest child of David A. and his first wife Margaret Cox.

W.O. died December 7, 1886 and is buried in the Rankin Cemetary, Franklin Co., Arkansas. He had 3 children with Mary E. Arp:
Georgia Taff -born 1881
Evy Taff -born 1883, died 1886 ( buried next to W.O.)
Horace Gideon Taff -born January 20, 1886
Horace Gideon (Gid) was my hsuband's grandfather.

Just a little bit of info on W.O. Taff - he served as a Justice of the Peace from 1880-1882 for Whiterock Township, Franklin County, Arkansas. We have the original certificate making him Justice of the Peace. He was shot and killed going through the gate of his property in the Lone Elm Community, Whiterock Township, Franklin County, Arkansas.

Re: David A. Taff - we too were wondering why he was in Cooke Co, Texas and somewhere, I have come across something tha said one of his younger sons moved to Texas. From what I have found in the census, David actually had 3 wives: Margaret Cox, Anna, and then Lydia.

Looking forward to more information. We also want to visit David's grave.

The Taff's are a very large family!

Hi Donna,
I know this is an old post, but I am wondering what you know about William and Mary. I think Mary could be connected to my family. I know his family lived not far from mine in GA before they moved to AR.

Mike,
Refresh my memory, I'm not sure which William and Mary you are speaking of or which
generation they might be in. Can you give me some estimated birthdates or ages
and what year you found them in Georgia. I'll see what I might have on them.
