Query: Searching for any info on Enoch KINDLE and Mary Ann FORD.

My great grandfather was John Thomas TAYLOR of Fulton Co IL. He was b. Jan 27, 1854 in Fulton Co. I have heard that his surname was listed as FORD but can't verify this. His mother, Mary Ann FORD m. Jeffrey M. Taylor in 1858. At that time John T. took the name of Taylor whether by adoption is not clear. We had thought it would never be possible to find John T.'s father. My grandmother, Mary Marie Taylor Landis told me many years ago that the name "KEND???" was connected in some way with her father but I had no other information, even that he was not Jeffrey Taylor's son.

I have recently found a record in a GED file (quite by accident. I was looking for a completely different family line.) showing Enoch KINDLE and Mary Ann FORD with a son named John T. KINDLE b. Jan 27, 1854. In Dec 1854 Enoch KINDLE m. Leah O'BRYANT in Fulton Co IL. They lived in OH and then in Neodasha, Wilson Co KS and eventually in Benton Co MO.

Were Enoch Kindle and Mary Ann Ford ever married? If so when and where? Divorced where? Or was John T. an illegitimate child? Is there someone in the family that can tell where this information about Enoch Kindle and Mary Ann Ford came from? Thanks Judy Hoard

Alvies was the son of Robert C. LACY b. about 1822, who came to Buffalo, Kansas before 1873 from the area around Roodhouse, Greene County,Illinois.

Lovey Ann MILLIRON LACY (Mrs. Alvies C. Lacy) was the daughter of Mr. Milliron (know nothing about him) and Katherine MOODY. At some time in her life, Katherine Moody Milliron moved to Buffalo, Kansas where she died. my mom has a picture of her on her 98th birthday in her home in Buffalo, Wilson County.

Lucy grew up near Swan IN and in 1887 she & John moved to Neodosha, In 1902 she/they moved to Sterling and lived on a farm of Dr W.E. CURRIE in the South Ashland District. In 1911 she moved to CO (I don't know if John was dead yet) and then she lived in Mt Grove MO from 1920-1936 at which time she moved in with daug Blanche FERRIS in Shelby OH where she died. The body was shipped back to Sterling KS for burial.

I'm not sure if John is buried in Sterling (prob), Neodosha (poss), or Colorado (questionable). I have no idea about their children. Do any of you know these folks? John may be my ggguncle and Lucy is the sister of my gggrandmother - the two families married brothers and sisters.
