Tags: Bledsoe, Bloomer, Neely, WebbThese 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? Contact me at my e-mail address LittleMup@sbcglobal.net

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.
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.

This is a photo, given to me by my mother, of my great, great grandparents, my grandmother and great aunt (Both granddaughters of Amos and Arminda). I have no idea where this picture was taken or what year as there is no writing on the picture. I’m trying to piece together my Bledsoe/Lawson family and hopefully will find some more information to share or connect with someone else here.

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.

Tags: Booher, Frederick, ShoemakerMy grandfather, Floyd Sr, was born (1904) and grew up in Ft Blackmore until he was about 20 years old. With the help of Bobbie Johnson, my father and I did a lot of research several years ago in Scott county with several visits to relatives and collecting a great number of stories, pictures, and data. We documented some of our research in one book, “Descendants of Sciota R. Crook of Scott County Virginia”.

Tags: CrookI want to apologize, to all the great folks who come here to visit, about the comment spam that has been sneaking through my spam filters.
This site has been online since September of 2006 and since then my spam program, called Akismet, has kept almost 6,800 various spam comments from reaching the site, but the spammers, especially the porn spammers, are always trying to find new ways to sneak through. This morning I am receiving about 2 new ones every minute… whew! Hopefully the software will continue to do its job and keep most of it out of your view. I will do my best to remove any that do get through as soon as I can.
I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and a bright New Year!
Pat
