Found on Ancestry DNA researcher "FCW" descend of Sally Taylor born 1797 SC m. John Grizzle, d. 1859 Lumpkin, GA. She does not give her line back to Dr. Rowland Taylor.

1. Rowland Taylor
2. Thomas Taylor m. Elizabeth Burwell
3. Thomas Taylor m. Margaret Swinderly

She descend from their son Wm. and I descend from their son John. This bit of DNA goes into my Duke family into my Carrington family.

She also has a Jenkins family, but I do not think the same family as mine. Looking for Samuel Jenkins born 1740 Shenandoah Co. VA died 1796 married to Jane Williams.

Found Family Tree DNA Family Finder, I and Keith S. Murray share common DNA material both being the desendant of James Murray (1657-1694) & his wife Jemima Morgan (c1660-c1720). This line going back 11 generations.

The Cooksey line intermarried with my Gist Family, which I have confirmed the line through various DNA profiles.

Cookey family does have a y marker project run by Family Tree DNA. Just another "R".

Books have been published about the family, as well as many secondary source material published.

We have four Autosomal kits matching confiming the line of

1. Samuel Cooksey born c1650 England? died 1709 in Charles Co. MD, married to Christian Mary E. Tennison

2. Wm. Cooksey born c1706 Charles Co. MD died 1773 Charles Co. MD married Anne Semmes

3. Ledstone S. Cooksey b. c1760 Charles Co. MD, d. 1826 Russellville, Logan Co. KY,Married Elender

4. Mary E. Cooksey b. 1795 Charles Co. MD, d. c1850 Morganfield, Union Co. KY, Married Josha Taylor

5. Aaron Taylor b. 10 Oct 1812 Russellville, Logan Co. KY, d. 23 Mar 1857 Morganfield, Union Co. KY, Married Nancy Gist.

6. Mary Ann Taylor b. 11 Nov 1838 Union Co. KY, d. 25 Nov 1926 Morganfield, Union Co. KY., Married Samuel A. Rudd
my 2nd great grandparents.

Going back 10 generations.

I have had for years the book by Mary Taylor Brewer "From Log Cabin to White House".

I quickly figured out my Chapman Taylor of SC & KY was not a member of this group of Taylor. I knew that a group of the Orange Co. VA Taylor had removed to Union Co. KY, but others might have thought the same Taylor as our group in Union Co. KY, but they were not.

You can find on line lots of information about the execution of Dr. Rowland Taylor during the reign of "Bloody Mary".

The ancestry of Elizabeth Taylor who married Henry Duke I do not think is questionable. The DNA evidence supports paper documentation.

I have about 16 pages of matches for Taylor surname, which I need to look at again.

1. Dr. Rowland Taylor m. Margaret Tyndale. Some researchers take his ancestry back a few more generations.

2. Thomas Taylor m. Elizabeth Burwell born died in England. I do not know if the same Burwell of early VA.

3. Thomas Taylor m. Margaret Swinderly, I have Autosomal DNA Match with another one of their sons.

4. John Taylor m. Elizabeth.........? came to VA 1648, I have three Autosomal DNA matches with two other sons.

5. Richard Taylor m. Sarah Barker daughter of Wm. Barker "Mariner", she would marry second to Robert Lucy, his daughter by unknown first wife would marry John Taylor

6. John Taylor m. Henrietta Maria Lucy, daughter of Robert, they had only daughters: Frances, Henrietta Maria (I have a Autosomal DNA match), Sarah & Elizabeth

7. Elizabeth Taylor m. Henry Duke

So in future when I am checking new matches I will be looking for this group of Taylor, Barker, Ward & Lucy

Found on Ancestry DNA Project researcher "B.A.R" seeking the parentage of

1. Thomas Alvin Edwards born 1740 Fauquier Co. VA died 1809 NC married to Elizabeth Willis Shadrach-Martin their son

2. Andrew Stribling Edwards born 1783 TN died 1864 TN married to Mary Woodfin.

I believe his line from Richard the imgrate through son Joshua. I descend through his son Wm.

Lots of work needs to be done on the early generations of Edwards in VA.

Dee Ann,
I am continuing my search to connect John James Morris to James G. Morris to Elizabeth and Isaac Morris but have not made any headway. I believe Robert Reed Morris is following the same line. I am trying to contact him but I don't have a current email. If you have a current email could you share it with me or you could just send him an email with my email address.
thank you for your help,
cathey

I just received an e-mail about my Edwards ancestory Gerrard Edwards.

My line from him:

1. Gerrard Edwards b. 1747, d. 1810 Morrisville, Fauquier Co. VA have a copy of his will, named as his wife Jemima and children: Benj., Elijah, Susanna, Milly & Wm. (my line).

2. Wm. Edwards b. 1787 Fauquier Co. VA, d. c1855 Fauquier Co. VA m. Maria Richards, their children: Frances M., Bushrod Payton (my line), James French & Wm. A. Edwards.

3. Bushrod P. Edwards b. 1822, m-1 his cousin Sophia Ann Richards (my line, m-2 Susan L. Rector, d. 1919 Warrenton Co. VA.

4. Mary Ella Edwards b. 1851, m. John Washington Ball, d. 26 Mar 1934 Washington, DC. Their children listed under another posting under children of John W. Ball.

The researcher is looking for the parentage of

Enoch Edwards b. 1804 m. Eliza.........? b. 1814 found on 1850 Fauquier Co. VA census with family of four children. I am guessing they removed out of the State of VA. I would try to find death records in connection with this group.

I have not been able to place this couple in my group of Edwards Family of Fauquier Co. VA.

I believe were several different Edwards Family living in Fauquier Co. VA.

When I first tried to find the ancestry of my Mary Ella I looked at Wesley Edwards & his wife Annsey Gladson, they had a daughter named Mary Julia born 1840, Sarah E. b. 1842, James A. b. 1843, Wm. H. Edwards b. 1844, Nancy Ann Edwards b. 1847, Alex. Marshall b. 1850, Lucy Frances b. 1854, Catherine Roberta b. 1855 & Virginia Anges b. 1858. I believe said Wesley was the son of Franklin Edwards b. c1775 married 12 Jun 1800 in Fauquier Co. VA to Nancy Linton. I have never been able to connect them with my group of Edwards.

If other can help her post a message here. I would hope a well run DNA study of the surname in VA could sort them out from each other.

This researcher has another link with my various surnames: FORTUNE.

I do not know if others have really figured out where in GB our Fortune lived before VA. Some say Scotland, Ireland, Wales or England.

This researcher's line from Isabella Fortune born 1710 St. Martin Parish, Ireland died 1779 SC married to Robert Gibson.
