We are fortunate to have a few old letters written by Aunt Rebecca Howard in Kentucky to her nephew F. S. Taylor in Texas, some photographs of Aunt Mary Jane Osborne and family, and a picture of their nephew Dr. Asa P. Taylor (son of Christian Smith Taylor:

 

Dr. Asa P. Taylor, born Jan 1856, Grant Co., KY, died 22 May 1927, Lexington, Fayette Co., KY; md. Allie J. Roland, 1878, had one son: Asa Porter Taylor, Jr., born 27 Aug 1881. Lived on Main St. in Lexington. He was probably the one who hired the genealogist Gustav Anjou, resulting in a fraudulent pedigree chart which made the family believe their grandmother was a "first cousin" of President Zachary Taylor.

About 200 fabricated genealogies were produced by Gustav Anjou (1863-1942), a Staten Island, New York forger of genealogical records. Anjou developed a profitable business in mail-order ancestors for wealthy clients willing to pay about $9,000 for a family history. More than 100 genealogies compiled by Anjou have been located. They are widely accessible in most large libraries and have been reprinted many times, and probably are being used today by genealogists who are not aware that the pedigrees are false. Anjou, and others like him, simply grafted noble and royal ancestors onto their client's trees, sometimes by using invented European parishes and forged wills and vital records.

It is likely Ferdinand S. Taylor visited his cousin Asa in Lexington on the trip where he represented the Farmers Alliance at its national meeting in Cincinnati, OH -- close enough to visit Lexington.

 Letter from aunt Rebecca Taylor Howard in KY to nephew in TX:

Canby, Owen Co., Kentucky
December 2, 1882

Mr. F. S. Taylor
Dear nephew:

Your kind letter came to hand yesterday to which I will now take pleasure in answering. We are all well except myself. I am very much affected with the rheumatics. We were glad to learn that you all are well pleased with your new home and glad to learn that Catherine is settled permanently in a good country and may you all do well is my happiest wish. You wish for information as to our family, as to our ancestry as far back as I can remember. I will commence with grandfather Taylor whose name was Thomas and lkived in Madison County where our nearest relatives resided. He had a sister, Grace, who married a Jones and lived near Mount Sterling in Montgomery County.

My grandmother on the paternal side was of a great family of people. Her maiden name was Hannah Bartison and a better woman than her never lived.

I will now give the names of some of my father’s uncles on paternal side. Uncle Groom the eldest, Father Benjamin Taylor and Uncle William, uncle Tarleton, and uncle Parker who was the youngest boy, besides there three aunts on paternal side to wit: Aunt Grace, Jennie, and Rebeccah who was the youngest child, all of whom I have named were noted especially as a peacable and quiet and energetic family; noted as strong Democrats, and all strong reformers except uncle Groom who was a Baptist. I must tell you that uncle William Taylor was so strong and uncompromising a Democrat that his faith and political principle was the only thing that he was ever known to fight for. Ay! he gave his all to the old Jeffersonian party firm and irreconciliable. Indeed all the Taylor family of whom I know anything about was loyal to that principle except old Uncle Zack “the hero of Buena Visa” who was elected president on the “Whig Platform” and who was a member of our family.

I will now give you some of the names of the first cousins of father, who live near Mount Sterling, Viz: Jesse, Frank, Augustine, and Thomas. In addition, I will now give you the names of some of my first cousins on father’s side: Uncle Groom’s children who are now living are all here in Owen ane Grant Counties. Cousin Hannah, married Wilburn Holbrook, Elizabeth married Benjamin Martin. Jane married Frank Stamper a merchant in Owenton. Rebecca married Judge Jesse Holbrook of Owenton, formerly county judge of Owen County and who is now one among the most wealthy in Owen County. Thomas, James, and Wesley, the boys, are neighbors to us, in good circumstances and among the most highly esteemed of our citizens.

Uncle William’s children are the following: Parker, Speed, Cassius, and Pendleton, and Owen who was named for Owen County for its unparalleled loyalty to the Democracy. They live in Madison County, except Speed, who lives in Washington County, Ky. All in good circumstances.
Uncle Tarlton’s children are the following: Frank, who lives in Messamine County in the heart of the blue grass country and said to be the wealthiest man in Jessamine County is the oldest now living.

Bartson, the youngest, lives in Lexington, owns two farms in Madison County, also a lot and Hotel in Lexington. Cousin William Hendren was a preacher of the Christian faith.

Uncle Parker’s children living are the following: William Taylor lives in Grant County near Dock’s. Susan married Hiram Taylor, living now in Estil County. Maranda Taylor lives now in Missouri, and America married a Beasley living on the Kentucky River. One of the boys was named Green, one Fayette, and one Elijah. They all live in Tunnell County near the Kentucky River.

There is a second cousin of mine living near Warsaw in Galatin County, very wealthy and a good and enterprising citizen. His name is Tarlton. Aunt Grace Dunkin’s boys live near Danville in Boyle County. Willie Dunkin married Miss Wannie Goodnight near Danville. My youngest aunt Becah married Benjamin Kidwell in Madison County. Aunt Mary Taylor married James Howard in Madison County.

Young A. J. Taylor, formerly of Danville, now a noted Baptist Divine in Lexington, is a second cousin of mine. Grandmother Taylor’s sister, Jane Bartson, married Jacob Canetscer who was uncle to my mother. Christopher Canetscer was another uncle to my mother. My grandmother on Mother’s side was Margaret Canetscer. Her mother’s maiden name was Smith. My grandfather on maternal side was Joseph Mings who emigrated from England and was in the war of the Revolution and fought at Bunker’s Hill.

Hoping this will suffice for the present and as I cannot think of any more of our ancestry farther back I will close.

With much love to all the family and hoping to hear from you all soon I remain your affectionate aunt.

Rebecca J. Howard

P.S. Dock and Mary Jane send their love and respect to you all and wish you well. They all are well as common.

Conetscer, Knörtzer, Kanatzer

Arriving 9 Nov 1738 at the port of Philadelphia, York Co., PA, aboard ship Charming Nancy from Cowes, England:

At the Court House at Philadelphia, the Foreigners whose Names are underwritten, imported in the Ship "Leslie," Capt. J. Ballendine, from Rotterdam, but last from Cowes in England, did this day take the usual Oaths to the Government. By the list 121,400 Persons from Palatinate, Manheim, Zweybrecht . . . JOHANN BALTHASER Knörtzer.


JOURNEY TO PENNSYLVANIA
The journey to Pennsylvania fell naturally into three parts. The first part, and by no means the easiest, was the journey down the Rhine to Rotterdam or some other port. Gottlieb Mittelberger in his Journey to Pennsylvania in the year 1750, wrote: (1)

"This journey lasts from the beginning of May to the end of October, fully half a year, amid such hardships as no one is able to describe adequately with their misery. The cause is because the Rhine boats from Heilbronn to Holland have to pass by 26 custom houses, at all of which the ships are examined, which is done when it suits the convenience of the custom-house officials. In the meantime, the ships with the people are detained long, so that the passengers have to spend much money. The trip down the Rhine lasts therefore four, five, and even six weeks. When the ships come to Holland, they are detained there likewise five to six weeks. Because things are very dear there, the poor people have to spend nearly all they have during that time."

The second stage of the journey was from Rotterdam to one of the English ports. Most of the ships called at Cowes, on the Isle of Wight. This was the favorite stopping place, as 142 ships are recorded as having sailed from Rotterdam to Cowes. . .

In England there was another delay of one to two weeks, when the ships were waiting either to be passed through the custom house or waiting for favorable winds. When the ships had for the last time weighed their anchors at Cowes or some other port in England, then, writes Mittelberger, "the real misery begins with the long voyage. For from there the ships, unless they have good wind, must often sail eight, nine, ten to twelve weeks before they reach Philadelphia. But even with the best wind the voyage lasts seven weeks."

The third stage of the journey, or the ocean voyage proper, was marked by much suffering and hardship. The passengers being packed densely, like herrings, as Mittelberger describes it, without proper food and water, were soon subject to all sorts of diseases, such as dysentery, scurvy, typhoid and smallpox. Children were the first to be attacked and died in large numbers. Mittelberger reports the deaths of 32 children on his ship. Of the heartless cruelty practised he gives the following example: "One day, just as we had a heavy gale, a woman in our ship, who was to give birth and could not under the circumstances of the storm, was pushed through the porthole and dropped into the sea, because she was far in the rear of the ship and could not be brought forward."

The terrors of disease, brought about to a large extent by poor food and lack of good drinking water, were much aggravated by frequent storms through which ships and passengers had to pass. "The misery reaches the climax when a gale rages for two or three nights and days, so that every one believes that the ship will go to the bottom with all human beings on board. In such a visitation the people cry and pray most piteously. When in such a gale the sea rages and surges, so that the waves rise often like mountains one above the other, and often tumble over the ship, so that one fears to go down with the ship; when the ship is constantly tossed from side to side by the storm and waves, so that no one can either walk, or sit, or lie, and the closely packed people in the berths are thereby tumbled over each other, both the sick and the well ~ it will be readily understood that many of these people, none of whom had been prepared for hardships, suffer so terribly from them that they do not survive."

When at last the Delaware River was reached and the City of Brotherly Love hove in sight, where all their miseries were to end, another delay occurred. A health officer visited the ship and, if any persons with infectious diseases were discovered on the ship, it was ordered to remove one mile from the city. As early as 1718, Dr. Thomas Graeme was appointed to visit and report on all incoming vessels. But no reports from him are on record until the year 1738. On September 14, 1738, Governor George Thomas laid before the Board the reports of Dr. Graeme, "setting forth the condition of four ships lately arrived here from Rotterdam and Amsterdam; And it being observed from one of the said reports that were the Passengers on Board the ships Nancy and Friendship allowed to be immediately landed, it might prove dangerous to the health of the Inhabitants of this Province and City, It is Ordered that the Masters of said Ships be taken into Custody for their Contempt of the Governour's Order, signified to them by Thos. Glenworth, pursuant to a Law of this Province, to remove to the Distance of one Mile from this City, and that they shall remain in Custody till they shall give security in the sum of Five Hundred Pounds each, to obey the said Order, and not to land any of their passengers Baggage, or Goods, till the Passengers shall have been viewed and examined, and untill they shall receive a Licence from the Governor for so doing."

The Governor urged at this time that a hospital be erected for sich passengers, but the Assembly refused to act until an epidemic broke out in the city of Philadelphia. Then the Assembly voted to buy Fisher Island, at the junction of the Schuylkill with the Delaware. The Island was bought in 1743 . . . The name of the island was changed to Province Island . . . the erection of an adequate hospital was, however, delayed until the year 1750. . .
A vivid account of the arrival of these passenger ships in the harbor of Philadelphia is given by the Rev. Henry M. Muehlenberg, in a report which he sent to Halle . . . "After much delay one ship after another arrives in the harbor of Philadelphia, when the rough and severe winter is before the door. One or more merchants receive the lists of the freights and the agreement which the emigrants have signed with their own hand in Holland, together with the bills for their travel down the Rhine and the advances of the 'newlanders' for provisions, which they received on the ships on account. . . Then he new arrivals are led in procession to the City Hall and there they must render the oath of allegiance to the king of Great Britain. After that they are brought back to the ship. Then announcements are printed in the newspapers, stating how many of the new arrivals are to be sold. Those who have money are released. Whoever has well-to-do friends seeks a loan from them to pay the passage, but there are only a few who succeed. The ship becomes a market-place. The buyers make their choice among the arrivals and bargain with them for a certain number of years and days. They then take them to the merchant, pay their passage and their other debts and receive from the government authorities a written document, which makes the newcomers their property for a definite period."
