Hi Maureen, In my records I have a William H Caylor, b. Nov 1849 with a sister, Elizabeth
(Lizzie) b. 1853. They were the children of Jacob Caylor, b. 1827 d. Sep 1852 and Sarah
Marchant b. 1829. Jacob was the son of Jacob Caylor and Catherine Etcher/Atcher/Oatyer.
The elder Jacob and Catherine were among those who came from Loudoun County, Virginia to
Ross and Fayette Counties, Ohio. Others in that migration included Jacob's brother,
Adam, (my husband's ggggrandfather) and sister, Mary, as well as their families.
This much is pretty well documented. There seems to be the possibility that the elder
Jacob was the son of Jacob and Hannah Lease Caylor. While I am not certain as to the
source of that part of the puzzle these names are often connected in the early Loudoun
County records.
