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

Query: John WILSON m Lucy Elizabeth TOUSLEY 23 Apr 1878 in Noble Co IN. Lucy
was b 1 Mar 1854 in Noble Co IN d 30 Mar 1938 in Shelby OH but bur in
Sterling KS, supposedly with husband John - I have her obit.

They had at least 4 children: Blanche b 1879 & m Ellsworth FERRIS of
Shelby OH, Emma, Clyde, and Charles W.

Lucy grew up near Swan IN and in 1887 she & John moved to Neodosha,
In 1902 she/they moved to Sterling and lived on a farm of Dr W.E.
CURRIE in the South Ashland District. In 1911 she moved to CO (I
don't know if John was dead yet) and then she lived in Mt Grove MO
from 1920-1936 at which time she moved in with daug Blanche FERRIS in
Shelby OH where she died. The body was shipped back to Sterling KS
for burial.

I'm not sure if John is buried in Sterling (prob), Neodosha (poss), or
Colorado (questionable). I have no idea about their children.

Do any of you know these folks? John may be my ggguncle and Lucy is
the sister of my gggrandmother - the two families married brothers and
sisters.
