Looking for info on the BRASHEARS & TAYLOR families of TN. My GG
Grandparents were Nelly BRASHEARS & Richard TAYLOR. They were married
in Cannon Co., Tn. in 1845. They had my G Grandfather, also named
Richard TAYLOR, in 1847, possibly in White Co., TN I do not know if
there were other children. Counting my GG Grandfather, I know that
the name Richard is carried through 7 generations of my family.My G
Grandfather , Richard born in 1847, eventually came to TX. where he
was the first City Marshall of Archer City, TX. I would really like
to find someone with information on the family before that. There is
a possibility that Richard was Cherokee.
NOTE !! I have a new email address.

as such might relate to poll tax, deed signing, marriage, and the
like, or causative factors that might subject a child to court order

incapacity. Your responses will be greatly appreciated.
