In reply to the discussion: A list of my family tree surnames..... [View all]historylovr
(1,557 posts)55. Hi there.
What I have on my Martha Gough (7th ggm, maternal side) shows her as the daughter of a William Gough and Alice Thacker of Virginia and the wife of John Whitaker. She has brothers John and William. I also have some Tattershalls in my tree, though they're a bit further back.
Stark, yes, I have James Stark and Elizabeth Thornton as my 7 gg parents on my paternal side. I don't think I have your William Taylor, but that's a line I've got to look at again, as I do have Taylors in VA. My Morgans were originally from Wales and then Pennsylvania and down into VA and NC and KY, so there could be someone in our lines connected.
