Unknown, possibly Webb, Bloomer, Bledsoe, Neely families from Scott County Virginia

Submitted by Liz Cox, she writes;

These pictures were in my grandmother’s house and unfortunately were not labeled. We believe these to be from her Scott County descendants. Webb, Bloomer, Roller, Bledsoe, Neely lines. But then again, as genealogy research always surprises us, they could be from anywhere and anyone. No bit of information is considered too small. Any thoughts?

Can anyone identify these people?

I hope you can post this photograph on your website and perhaps someone can help with with a positive identification.

My Mother-in-Law (Alice Joye Taylor Hill) has had this photograph for many years. All she knew was that the photo is of “Granny Taylor.” My Mother-in-Law was the daughter of George Charles Taylor (1907-1933) of Scott County, Virginia.

What Joye did not realize was that she had two great-great grandmothers who could have been called “Granny Taylor.” I will send a family tree in an email to follow this one.

Granny Taylor, Scott County Virginia

The woman in the photograph is either Nancy Jane Salling (1842-1932), who was the wife of Milo Taylor and the mother of George Monroe Taylor…….or she is Nancy M. Dorton (1848-1931), wife of Monroe Taylor and mother of Mary Elizabeth “Lizzie” Taylor.

Milo Taylor and Monroe Taylor were brothers, both sons of James Andrew and Catherine Stewart Taylor. Milo’s son George Monroe Taylor married his first cousin, Mary Elizabeth “Lizzie” Taylor, daughter of Monroe on 28 March 1888 in Scott County.

On the 1930 Federal Census in the DeKalb District of Scott County, Virginia Nancy M. Dorton Taylor was living in the home of her daughter and son-in-law, George M. and Mary E. Taylor. Nancy Salling Taylor was living next door in the household of her son Mark Pomeroy Taylor.

Jane writes,

Pat, I am trying to find out if anyone living recognizes these family members. The picture is made at Harvey Wolfe’s home on Mother’s Day, 1915. My grandmother Frances Maud Wolfe is the girl in the white dress in the foreground of the photo and her parents are on the back row left corner, Andrew Jackson Wolfe and Laura Catherine Lane Wolfe. Unfortunately by the time I had possession of the photo no one was living to tell me who they are. A.J. and Laura lived and are buried near Rye Cove in Scott County.

I also wonder if anyone has information about the children in this school picture. I have no knowledge of the school name etc.

This photo is very large, I left it that way so the faces would be clearer. I believe the the man in the center with the white beard may be Thomas DINGUS, based not only on his appearance, but also the tilt of his head and the slope of his shoulders. Please use the comment link below and let us know what you think. Thanks.

Pat, I have no idea of the people in this photo, it was in with some of my PETERS and WILLIAMS pictures that came from the Scott Co. things that I have. I’m in hopes that someone might identify some of these people.
