Mailing address (optional): 208 Bleachery St. Griffin GA 30223 Query: Searching for any info on Enoch KINDLE and Mary Ann FORD. My great grandfather was John Thomas TAYLOR of Fulton Co IL. He was b. Jan 27, 1854 in Fulton Co. I have heard that his surname was listed as FORD but can't verify this. His mother, Mary Ann FORD m. Jeffrey M. Taylor in 1858. At that time John T. took the name of Taylor whether by adoption is not clear. We had thought it would never be possible to find John T.'s father. My grandmother, Mary Marie Taylor Landis told me many years ago that the name "KEND???" was connected in some way with her father but I had no other information, even that he was not Jeffrey Taylor's son. I have recently found a record in a GED file (quite by accident. I was looking for a completely different family line.) showing Enoch KINDLE and Mary Ann FORD with a son named John T. KINDLE b. Jan 27, 1854. In Dec 1854 Enoch KINDLE m. Leah O'BRYANT in Fulton Co IL. They lived in OH and then in Neodasha, Wilson Co KS and eventually in Benton Co MO. Were Enoch Kindle and Mary Ann Ford ever married? If so when and where? Divorced where? Or was John T. an illegitimate child? Is there someone in the family that can tell where this information about Enoch Kindle and Mary Ann Ford came from? Thanks Judy Hoard |
