Message Board Post:
Well guess what. Thanks to researcher Phyllis Flemming of Shelby Co, after 40 years of
wondering, I think I have an answer to the question of who was the father of my great
grandmother Jennie Resler nee Taylor of Indiana. According to the obit of her mother,
Sarah Emma Dolan nee Taylor, it was Oscar Hidy of Jay Co, Indiana.
Sarah and Oscar did not marry. In the 1880 census of Jay Co, IN Sarah E. Taylor age 18,
sister, was living with Herschel H. & Mary E. Hidy. Herschel b IN, parents b. VA &
OH. Based on the birth states of Mary's parents she was a sister to Sarah.
Oscar and Herschel were sons of Nathan Hidy.
Sarah's obit says her parents were Robert and Rebecca Taylor. Still not sure where
the J'ep came from. Also curious why Sarah age 8 was living with possible relatives
John & Sarah Hoppas(SP?) age 55 from OH - probably her parents had died, but who were
the Hoppas (possible Hoppes?)?
And to think Sarah's marriage to Jack Dolan was the key to finding this. AMAZING!
