Surname: Taylor, Hannis, Jain, Fitzgerald, Myers
-------------------------
Looking for my grandmother's double cousin, Ward Emerson Taylor (born 1882
in Vevay Indiana) who was an optometrist in Reno, Washoe County, Nevada.
He married Madeline Fitzgerald Oct 19, 1919. Their daughter Mary Jain Taylor
was born Jan. 13, 1921. She may have married somebody named Brozo and they
had 4 children, Jimmy, Cathy, Michael, and Billy? (Records not clear.)
His mother was Mary A. Jain (1847 - 1920) and his father was John G. Taylor
(1847 - 1897). Mary Jain's parent emigrated from French Switzerland in
1847. John G. Taylor's parents were George John Taylor (1818-1890, fought
in Civil War) and Margaret Hannis (1821-1903), from Switzerland County,
Indiana. [After her first husband died, Mary Jain married Frank Yeager
and they lived in California.]
Ward Taylor's sister Jessie Hannis Taylor (born 1886) married Edgar J.
Myers in 1922 and one of them was an optometrist in Reno, also. Their son
Robert Taylor Myers was born 1924 or so, got married June 1946, and is
also an optometrist.
My great grandparents were Frank Taylor (John G's brother) and Anna Jain
(Mary's sister). We have some info on Taylors and Swiss relatives and would
be gald to share!
My grandmother was Clara Robertine Taylor and she wrote to Ward Emerson
Taylor (during approx. the 1940's and 50's). Any info on Nevada connection
would be appreciated! Thanks!
