Just another update
I found William R. Kennington on the 1900 Census.He was located in Ferguson Township, Yell Co., AR.(pg. 263) The census indicates that he was born in March 1845 in Texas, and that both of his parents were from Texas.I also found that my grandfather's uncle, Samuel Taylor was living with William Kennington and his family at that time.
This census hasn't been much help with the Taylor part of this family.Samuel Taylor is listed as being born in AR, and that both of his parents were born in AR.I found Thomas Taylor on the census, it indicates that he was born in AR, his father unknown, and his mother in AR.BUT, his children that are living in the home have it indicated that their father was born in Texas, as was their mother.Since Frances A. (Kennington) Taylor was deceased by 1900 I have no way of knowing what the census taker would have said about her birthplace and that of her parents.
Thanks again,
