| The genealogy information on this site covers the ancestry of my grandparents. John William "Will" McCauley (1875-1959) and Verda Waller Hankins (1884- 1942) lived in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky. Verda was born and raised in Hopkins County, Kentucky. Will was born as Thomas Jefferson Lanier in Alabama, probably in either Chambers or Randolph County and grew up in that general area. Will & Verda had 7 daughters and 4 sons. Elmer Dennis Hopkins (1894-1980) and Emma Ewers Taylor (1900-1978) lived in Harlan County, Kentucky during most of their marriage. Elmer was born in Harlan County but his family moved to Rockcastle County, Kentucky when he was a child. Emma was born and raised in Rockcastle County. Elmer & Emma had 4 daughters. Will's parents were Joseph Smith Lanier and Nancy Jane Bennett. Verda's parents were Thomas Leander "Lee" Hankins and Samantha Angeline Petty. Elmer's parents were James Arton "Jim" Hopkins & Lucinda "Cindy" Howard. Emma's parents were John Cook Taylor & Emma Jane Owens. Corrections and additions (especially photos) are always welcome.
