QUERIES



   I am often asked for help or advice for different aspects of finding one's ancestors and am unable to come up with any definitive answers. As there may be someone out there who has just the answer I will post his or her requests on this page with their permission.  If you have any knowledge of any of the following requests please contact me at <hbmoody@bellsouth> and I will pass it on to the requester.


 Rich Wethington

There are rumors that we are Native American Indian through the Wallace family. My GM Pearl Taylor (married John "Jack" Willie Wethington) was daughter of Mary Elizabeth Wallace Turner (who married William Murchison Taylor) and she was daughter of Joseph Turner and Susan Cox (Susan's parent was Leachy Cox). William Murchison Taylor was son of John W Taylor and Missouri (Mazura) Wallace. Her parents were William L Wallace and Elizabeth ??. We are told this is the Indian connection. Also, we have a John David Taylor who is rumored to have been John David Mannes from PA, and changed his last name in NC/SC migration. Do you have obits or other info on these folks? Looking for any sources or info that may help prove Indian heritage for this family?
