Most of the first two generations I have are according to written family tradition. George TAYLOR an English sea captain, came to Salem, MA in the latter part of the 1700s, with his wife Hannah. They had four known children: George bd 1795, John bd 1799, Mary Eliza bd 1802 or 1897, John bd 1807. On one of his voyages to Spain, he brought back a little Spanish boy named George (Jorge) LEON to be sent to school and educated. He lived with the family of George TAYLOR and later married one of his daughters, named Mary. They had 4-6 children: George bd 1829, Mary bd 1832, Katie bd 1834, John bd 1836, Lydia bd 1838/48, and possibly others. The husband (Jorge) died rather young and his wife, Mary, raised all of the children by hard work. George-the son, married a Margaret MCCLOY and went to CA, where they had four children: George A., Mary E., Katie H., and Edward H. They were in CA by the 1860 census. Jorge & Mary's daughter Katie married a John PENNEY and their daughter Nellie !
(adopted per family history) married a Henry HENRIOULLE in CA in 1891. One of Jorge and Mary's other daughters Lydia married a James T. COLBY (evidently James 2nd marriage) and they had 2 daughters: Mary and Ella per the 1880 census in San Jose, CA. Ella marries a Joe KLEIN and they have 2 children: Mildred and Leon.
I would love to find other lines and exchange info.
Thank you
