give me the address of some one who
can trace some lost family data.
Ny grandmother was Francis Macoy
! Henderson, daughter OF Leonard Hen
derson chief justice of North Carolina,
who married Francis Farrar. We
want the history OF the Farrar family,
especially during revolutionary times.
and are willing to pay for tracing it,
our only knowledge being that Francis
Farrar was the niece Of Judge John
Williams, who was called Bay John
Williams.
My grandmother married in North
Carolina-I think in Raleigh. her
father being supreme Judge there at
the time-Dr. William Vanner Taylor,
who was of English descent. coming
from Carlyle, England. He lived both
, in Norfolk and Little York, Virginia.
my impression being that he was born
In the latter place. We want his line
of decent and to know If this was
! through James Taylor of Carlyle. We
know DR.. TaylorS mother was Lucy
White, whose family WAS driven from
York Town when the place WAS de-
stroyed by the British, and think his
father was named either Nathaniel or
Arthur, and we want authentic infor-
! nation we can use in the D. 4. r.
papers.

and will doubly appreciate any help
you can give us in this matter, and
would like you to tell us the probable
cost of such Investigations by a
genealogical expert
