I am looking for information on a Taylor Tinker that married Malinda Gifford. They had a child Bennie Tinker who is a relative of mine.

Thanks!

It will be easier for someone to help you if you'll provide some dates and locations. :-)

Sorry, I am new at this. This is all that I know: His name is Taylor Tinker. His first name may have been Benjamin and his middle name Taylor. He married a Melinda J Gifford who was born around 1860. Her parents were William Gifford (1807-1870) and Elizabeth Gifford (1827-1870). They lived in Dade County, Georgia near the Rising Fawn area. I found a sister of Melinda's grave (Parlee P Gifford) at Brown Gap Cemetary in Trenton, GA. I did not locate Melinda or Taylor Tinker

I think who you are looking for is: Taylor Tinker b. 28 Dec 1857, son of Benjamin & Elizabeth Louisa (MNU) Tinker. Taylor was one of at least eleven children.

Dt/pl of birth:

TINKER, Malinda J. head b. Oct 1860 wd GA
Lucy D. dau b. June 1884 GA
Bennie dau b. June 1888 GA

This is all the info I have on Taylor Tinker b. 1852. He may have been named Benjamin Taylor since his father was Benjamin & his dau is Bennie. I only have the info on the censuses.

Hope this helps,

This is extremely helpful and follows perfectly along with the research I have conducted today. Thank you so much for your help. I would love to now locate where Taylor and Malinda were laid to rest.
