Cole-Marriner Immigrant Ancestors

We are a nation of immigrants. Most of us descend from others who came to this land whether by their own volition or against their will. With this in mind, I will be documenting all the known immigrant ancestors for both my family and my spouse’s family. This is fifth installment of this series.

Next up in my quest for identifying immigrant ancestors are the predecessors of my maternal grandfather.

Imagine my surprise when I started to search for the immigrant ancestors of my paternal grandfather, Carl Victor Taylor, Jr. (the Taylor–Thomas family). With the surname Taylor, it is guaranteed that he has at least a few (okay, more than a few) British ancestors. However, after much effort through the many English surnames from that side, I was unable to determine his English immigrants. As most British lines in America extend back to the founding of this country, it is understandable.
