1933 in Mercer County West Va. His dad was Isaac Harless, his mom was Nancy
Heaberlin Harless, he was born in 1879, I have a Birth Certificate for my mom that
says he was born in Russell County Va. He is in the 1880 Census 7-1/2 months old, living in
Johnson Tenn. Can anyone help me, Mom is 88 years old and is in the hospital, I have been
searching for her. He also went by the name Bud. This would mean so much if anyone could help.

ESKINGS, TAYLOR, WRIGHT -
I am researching a member of the Eskings family. The 1910 Census head of the household in
Mercer County, WV, Beaver Pond District was John W. Taylor age 32 and his wife Ida May
Eskings Taylor also age 32. Their 3 sons age 10, 8, & 5. Ida's mother, Sarah
Caroline Wright Eskings, age 56 and her son, George W. Eskings age 25. John
W. Taylor was listed as working as an Engineer on the Railroad and George W.
Eskings was listed as a Boiler Maker at the Railroad Shop. They were in 1900 living in
Wise County, Va. at that time the head of the Household was Jerome W. Eskings who was 60
in 1900 Wise Co. Census and worked as a Carpenter. John Taylor was a Coal Miner. I don't
know if Jerome died in Wise County, Va. or Mercer County, WV. I have lost the family for the
present time. I need the death date of Jerome W. Eskings and his wife Sarah, information
on their son George W. Eskings. Also I need help on John Taylor and his wife Ida
May. All help will be deeply appreciated. Thank you,
