Sarah Louisa Chunn Taylor

Sarah Louisa Chunn Taylor

I was told this is Grandmother Chunn, Sarah Louisa Chunn Taylor (1830-1904), wife of Robert Venebal Taylor. The painting has certainly seen better days, but it's remarkable that it has survived for so long. While I can only speculate on when it was created, it likely endured the American Civil War (1861-1865), the Reconstruction Era (1865-1877), the Great Depression of the 1930s, and eventually made its way to my grandfather's farm in East Tennessee.

Making conections

The more information you can give about the people you mention, the more chance there is of someone else connecting with your family.

Dates and places of births, deaths and marriages all help to place families.

Professions also help.

'My great-grandmother mother was a Douglas from Montrose' does not give many clues to follow up! But a bit of flesh on the bones makes further research possible. But if we are told who she married, what his profession was and where the children were baptised, then we can get to work.

Maybe it is time to update the information in your profile?
