GREETINGS TAFT FAMILY! It's been a while since I've posted. I hope everyone is well and had a wonderful holiday with their family and friends.

Most all genealogy recors show that Robert Taft, b. 1640, London, was born to Richard Robert Taft, b. 1614, London and Margaret Faun b. 1620, London.

Here's the puzzle:

The marriage book kept by the church recorded the marriage of Richard Robert Taft to Margaret Faun to be June 3, 1646. Robert Taft would've been 6 years old. Who is the mother of Robert Taft b. 1640?

Thoughts? Anyone have any other records?

Lorado Zadok Taft (April 29, 1860 – October 30, 1936) was an American sculptor, writer and educator. Part of the American Renaissance movement, his monumental pieces include, Fountain of Time, Spirit of the Great Lakes, and The Eternal Indian. His 1903 book, The History of American Sculpture, was the first survey of the subject and stood for decades as the standard reference. He has been credited with helping to advance the status of women as sculptors.

GREETINGS TAFT FAMILY! Have any of you submitted your DNA to any of the genealogy sites? I have, and it's been interesting to see the pull back of people I am related to on both sides of my family.

Have a great day! Stay safe and warm as we continue on through this winter storm!

It is said that all Tafts are related because they all descend from Robert Taft b. 1640. However, about 15 years ago there was a story that Robert Taft came over with his brother Matthew Taft. Later on, I discovered another story that a Matthew Taft did arrive in America, but he and Robert were not related.

Please note, I say "story" because I have no supporting documents or authorities on the issue.

Anyone have any facts or heard the same or similar stories? If so, please share with us.

GREETINGS TAFT FAMILY! It's been a long time since I've posted on the page. Genealogy takes a lot of time and sometimes a person needs a break after working on it for several years.

Currently, I am the only person working the Taft Family History tree in Ancestry.com and this page. If any of you are deep into genealogy and would like to assist, please let me know.

In the meantime, anyone have any short stories about the Taft family or pictures they'd like to share?
