A discussion of how and why the Taylors in USA were called Moore in England and how the DeBarcy surname never appears in any records other than the family stories.

Do you have an original of one of these photographs?
Here is Charles as a young boy. Newly dated (by photographer's stamp) to be no earlier than 1875. He was at least 7 years old by the time this was taken.
Charles Taylor, Jr.
New date comparison confirms this was taken just prior to emigrating from England to Montana. circa 1885. The photographer only opened his shop in 1885!
Charles Taylor, Sr.
A photo given to me by my cousin, but I have never seen the original brooch. I wish I knew who had it, though. I'd love to see if there are any inscriptions on the back of the photo.
Marian DeBarcy or is it Mary Ann Moore?
Was she hiding from her past? Was she hiding her past?
