Thank you for your kind reply.  I talked with her on the phone this
afternoon, and she said that Taylor Issac Fox  was her
great-grandfather, and
he was born in NC.  At the begining of the Civil War he left NC to come
to IN to enlist in the war to fight againt the North.  He did not
believe in slavery, and had taken a young male slave to IN with him and
they traveled to together to join theArmy.  They traved at night and
slept in hay stacks and trees in the day.  They could have enlisted in
Indianapolis but didn't know it, but went to Martinsville, IN to join.
This was just when the war of the North and South broke out.

His father and his bothers (2) were all attorneys and his bother and
father turned against him for fighting against NC.  Frank Evans - Laura
Fox were her grandparents.  She says there is a black woman down there
(NC or SC) that did a big research on the history on the slavery down
there and it was in the Indianapolis Star and News a few years back, and

she was wondering if there was anything on the black slave that came to
Indiana with Taylor Issac Fox, who was named  Sidney Fox.  Sidney's
mother died when he was born while they were on the Fox Plantation.
Taylor parents took him in and raised him, giving him the Fox name.
Sidney was just a teenager at the time Taylor came to Indiana.  Taylor
had just finished law school and had been practicing law for about a
year before they left for IN... and they left in the middle of the
night.

After Taylor had come to IN, (he had been here about 3 years) he married

Sarah Higgins and they had four children: John (became an enginer on the

NYCentral, out of Terri Haute, IN).  Fred (a carpenter in Clayton, IN).
William (left home when young and lived in Chicago, ILL) Laura...married

Frank Evans in Clayton, IN and moved to Martinsville, and then to
Mooresville... and they had two children,... Ethel and Arnold...  Arnold

is Aunt Bertha's father.

The run down is like this.
Taylor Issac Fox
   Laura (Fox) Evans
     Arnold Evans
        Aunt Bertha  :-)
Aunt Bertha had no children, so her line stops here.  She married my
mother's brother, Delwin Warren... that is how she is my aunt, and I
have been like a daughter to her - as we all grew up three houses away
From each other.  For her age, she is sharp as a tack, and is one very
intellegent lady, and she was an LPN for an Indianapolis Hospital.

Thank you again for your kindness.
