Monday Is for Mothers: Elizabeth "Betsy" Mrs. Taylor (About 1805 - After June 1, 1850)

This page of the 1850 U.S. Census for Washington Township in Johnson County, Iowa, is literally the only record we've found that names this maternal great great great grandmother and all this tells us is that she was born about 1805 in Ohio.

Her husband Job died in August of 1850 and there's some evidence that a neighbor Jacob Hull became the children's guardian after that.

Here's how I'm related to her:
