Ya' know, the only idea that I have is what happened to some members of
my family. Some of my family members disappeared for 10-20- and 30
years, and what we found by accident is that they were living with close
family members. We believe that there must have been some sort of
financial or social upheaval, and they ended up in other family
households. My gggrandmother ended up at the Cap Taylor's farm the last
29 years of her life after my gggrandfather died. We have never been
able to figure out exactly how Cap Taylor was related. If not related,
they must have been the best friends that anyone has ever had. (smile)
But, this might be an explanation for the disappearance.
Just a thought!
