Current Projects and Interests

Francis Elliott has been my obsession for the past ten years. It required cranking a lot of microfilm to discover him and I am now working on a project to trace all descendants of his father, Joseph Elliott, who died when Francis was an infant. I am also tracing all allied lines because I find the families so interesting. See The Elliott Project for more information. Francis is descended from the Quakers of North Carolina and his wife, Lydia Ogburn, is descended from the New Jersey Quakers. This was yet another culture that I have been introduced to.

Thomas Phelps is another ancestor who caught my fancy years ago. He was born in Pennsylvania, though I have never found any records for him there (though not for lack of trying.) He appeared in Zanesville, Ohio, in the early 1850s and moved his family to Louisiana in 1881. His two surviving sons moved on and so there are no longer any descendants of this family with the name Phelps in Louisiana.

My biggest "brick wall" involves the Taylor family. Common surnames are hard to trace in frontier areas. I have succeeded in getting back to John Taylor, who married Rosanna Powell, and who died in Woodford County, Kentucky, in 1822. There were only two Taylor families in early Woodford County: Gen. Zachary Taylor’s family and the family of the Rev. John Taylor who was a fiery Baptist preacher. If you have any information that either family has an undocumented nephew John, please let me know! Rev. John lived adjacent to the Powells for a while, and thus I am tracing his relatives hoping for a hit.

William Powell, father of Rosanna, is another interesting character. I have followed him back to the West Virginia area south of Pennsylvania in 1775 thanks to a clue provided by a mention in Rev. John Taylor’s book Baptists on the American Frontier.
