I have a Rev James Taylor who was the father of Marjory Taylor b. 1786 in Caputh, Perthshire. The Rev went to Virginia and that's all I know about him. Marjory married William Graham in Fife and I have all of that family, but know nothing of the Rev and his wife [possibly Isabel Steel].

I have been researching this Rev since 1979 when I inherited a family Bible with his details. So I'd be over the moon to find out anything at all.

I am totally new to geneology, I came across this forum while searching for some information on the Rev James Taylor and was amazed to find a reference to him here, my mother was a Robertson and was descended from Andrew Robertson and Janet Graham of Carnock, I have started to collect information on the Robertsons, Grahams and Taylors but I am just in the early stages, I would appreciate any information on any of the above, this is my first post on this site and I am not sure what to expect.

Oh my gosh Alan, you really should email me personally- I've got it all for you. Hundreds of Robertsons and Grahams but only one or two Taylors unfortunately!

Hi Jimjam

No connection with my James Taylor , mine is the same as Beppy's above, born well before 1780.

Hello Everyone!!

The person I am stuck at is a William Taylor.  He married a Jean, but I don't know her maiden name.  They had 2 children, David Taylor and Helen Fotheringham Taylor.  I was stonewalled at David Taylor for a long time. he is the one who emigrated from Scotland to the US.  I found William and Jean in an old book on Google Books, "Cases decided in the Court of session (Teind court, and House of lords) from ... " By Alexander Dunlop.  William was born abt 1783 and died Jul 1854, or at least that is the information I have been able to locate.  If any one has any additional information I would very much appreciate it.  I would love to find out and information on William's parents and/or on Jean and her family. 

Thank You!!
