Hello! I have hit a dead-end with a relative. No family members have any clue as to who the parents are or where they are from. I was hoping that somewhere there is a record that would tell the parents' names. I'm open to any suggestions!

William James Naylor, Sr.

Born March 23, 1823 in Raleigh, North Carolina

Married Margaret Ann Moore, October 7, 1858, in Haywood County, Tennessee

Worked as a farm overseer for a Mr. Turner at age 25

Died February 12, 1898 in Haywood County, Tennessee

It is said that he was an orphan raised by his "Aunt Polly"....but, he had parents - I just don't know how to find them.

For starters I would look at North Carolina Guided Research for his birth that might list his parents: https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/GuidedResearch:North_Carolina.

Thank you so much!

A public member tree suggests that his mother is Lavisa Tallifero, no proof or sources attached. Tallifero is a county in Georgia so she may be related to founders of that county.

I saw that since asking - but, have not been able to find any birth, marriage or death records. Thank you for looking for me! I suppose I'm back to a dead-end....how frustrating!
