Hi Melissa!
Its so great to hear from you. My dad has often spoken about your grandfather, Elwood Tackaberry. He went to Elwood's store in Lions Head frequently as a little boy. Elwood's store had a rivalry with the Hellyer's store. My father's family always made a point of being loyal to "Cousin Elwood's" store.
My father also remembers Larry Tackaberry, your father. The last time he saw Larry, my father was about nine and your father eighteen or so.
My grandmother, Thelma Carter Ellis, was Elwood's first cousin. Therefore you and I are third cousins.
I would love to send you the info I have on the Tackaberry's. There are no documents from the time of William of Orange. There is, however, an extensive family history which I found in the trunk of my cottage in Lions Head. It may provide some info about Margaret Lavinia Bullock's parentage.
Please email me: [email protected] to further discuss.
Nice to meet you!
Hilary
