Surname: Wiseman, Taylor
-------------------------

Donna,

I thought I had sent you this info but apparently not.
James Taylor b. Oct 19, 1827 m. Cynthia Elizabeth Wiseman abt 1850. Avery
County Heritage books say Cynthia was b. November 3, 1833 but Tom Chapman's
book says August 30, 1833.

They had 8 Children, one was Martin Delafayette Taylor; Martin married
Thompsine Augusta Wiseman on March 27, 1877. So it's James' daughter-in-law
that was called Tompsie, not his wife.

James and "Cintha E" are on the 1860 Census for Yancey County:

1860 Census, Yancey County, NC:
James Taylor 56 M NC (the age is incorrect)
Cintha E 25 F NC
Jackson 8 M NC
Martin D 5 M NC
Sophia L 3 F NC

and on the 1850 Census I *think* James is living with Martin Davenport
and Elizabeth Carpenter Wiseman. There is a James Taylor, age 36 living
with that family. Cynthia Elizabeth Wiseman, who married James, is Martin's
sister. This family is in the 1850 Census for Yancey County NC roll 649
p 423.

I don't know much about Hugh, but this might be his family from the 1850
Census for Burke County, roll 522, p 380:
