  Susan Coleman - Rest in Peace wonderful lady! Your Mom was born in England, married in England in 1830 and came to North Carolina in America you were born and it looks like your parents may have divorced, as John Taylor your dad ends up back in England married to another gal, who was widowed! Possibly a deal was struck!
