:: Most Wanted ::
William Taylor (b. 1798-1805 in VA or NC, d. 1880-1886 in KY) - Taylor Line
Many researchers say that William's father was Rev. War soldier William
Taylor and his wife, Jean Guffey but where is the proof?
Rachel McFardan (b. abt. 1808, d.bef 1880) - Hopkins Line

certificate lists the name as McFardan but I have no clues about her
parents.

Her father was John Lavender of Lincoln County, Kentucky but nothing
more is known about his and I have no leads about her mother.

Who was his wife and the mother of John "War Jack" Howard? Most
researchers say she was a Cherokee Indian named Lettie Durham but I
haven't found anything to prove that. Thomas' parents are also unknown.
