JOHN LINK & NANCY TAYLOR
The following was recently posted on the Fulbright Family Connection by Dr. William R. Eddlernan.
Dear cousins,
Some time ago, I promised I would post some information about deed transactions from Stoddard Co., Missouri concerning John Link and Nancy Taylor. I temporarily misplaced my notes, but just found them again. For those of you who don't remember, John was son of John Link and Mary Fulbright, and Nancy was daughter of Benjamin Taylor and Christina Fulbright. (Both daughters of Johann Wilhelm--yep, John and Nancy were first cousins.)
The deed records:
All of the following are dated Dec.24, 1853--sorry, I did not have time to abstract the entire deeds.
BookD:page9O--John Link & Nancy, his wife, to their son Benjamin T. Link.
D:91 -- Same and same to John Link, Jr., their son.
D:92 -- Same and same to Daniel Link, their son.
D:93 -- Same and same to Frank S. M. Link, their son.
D:94 -- Same and same to Earon [Aaron] Link, their son.
D:95 -- Same and same to Lavina Layton, their daughter, to place her on terms of equity with her married sisters, Elizabeth Stafford and Margret Perkins.
This one is a complete abstract.
Book K:203 --21 October 1867. Lavina Layton; Elizabeth Stafford and Zerabable, her husband; John Link; Christina Link; Earon Link; Susan Lnk; Daniel Link; Mary Hammonds and Cyrus, her husband; and Missouri Walker and Robert W., her husband; to John Link and Nancy Link. For diverse good causes and $1, quit claim to 76.50 acres, being W 1/2, NW 1/4, Section 1, Township 26 N, Range 10 E. Signed Lavina (x) Layton, Zora Bable Stafford, Christenear (x) Link, Elizabeth (x) Stafford, John Link Junior, Daniel (x) Link, Susan Link, Mary D. Hammond, C. Hammonds, Aaron Link, Missouri Ezebell Walker, Robert Walker. Witness R. M. Fraker, Clerk. Recorded Jan 23, 1868.
I recently ran across one more Fulbright record that Ed may be able to figure out. From "Index to obituaries in "The Appeal", 1857-1858 [Memphis, Tennessee]:
Fullbright child [issue of Oct. 25, 1857, page 3, column 2] That's it for now. Hope everyone has a great holiday season!
