Based on my research, I believe that Delphia Taylor Locus is the sister of my great, great, grandfather Joel or Joseph Taylor. My great-grandmother was Lessie Jane Taylor who was married to George Winstead. If anyone else has information on Dempsey’s children, I would love to speak with you.
Have you spoken with Europe Farmer?
Yes and it is because of one of your posts that I found Europe and his wife Felicia. They were the ones who linked me to Joel Taylor this past weekend. I am so elated! I read your posts often and they have helped tremendously. I was thinking that it would be helpful to post on your site in case someone else had more information about Joel’s siblings as well as his other children. His wife was Lavinia Jones Taylor. Thanks so much for this site. I was raised in Nash County but I have found out so much about my relatives on your site. My mom was an Eatmon so it’s been nice reading the Eatmon posts as well.
My husband is family to the locas .i found out from dna test but he is adopted and doesn’t know his real father or mother .so I been hunting for information,I Tex Ahmad he answered us once but since he will not answer us or accept friend request .I don’t understand why . So my husband ordered the book 📕 that tells of the family history but we haven’t received it yet it’s been about 2weeks now.
