Lottie (Taylor) Mefford of VA & KY late 1700's
I am trying to learn the name of the father of Lottie Taylor (born in VA; may have died in KY) who married David M. Mefford. (I have a record of their marriage.)
I have record of court action in 1802 on David Mefford's estate in which it names his 3 orphans--Sally, David & Thomas. There is no mention of a wife.
I have 2 short bios of Lottie (Taylor) and David M. Mefford's grandsons. One is Leonidas D. Mefford (born 1832 in Scott County, KY) of Illinois. Other is Dr. Walter T Mefford (born 1844 in Scott County, KY) of Kansas City, Missouri. Both claim that the father of Lottie (Taylor) Mefford was a cousin of Pres. Zachary Taylor.
Some have claimed that her parents were Sarah( Best) and Joseph Taylor (1751-1818). But their daughter Charlotte Taylor was born in 1815 and married someone else.
