		<description><![CDATA[I notice that at least one web-search that led to my site this month was a search for my sixth cousins twice removed, the  triplets William, Jennings &#038; Bryan Taylor, named after the great turn-of-the-century populist orator.  They were sons of Frank L.8 Taylor (Joseph W.7, Tarpley6, John Clark5, Tarpley4, George3, Simon2, Richard). [...]]]></description>

He had struggled in recent years with obesity, and all his life with a certain simple-mindedness and avoidance of people.  Back in 2005 he spent six days inside a wall.  He leaves a twin sister, Oda, [...]]]></description>

(A gateway ancestor is an ancestor who gives descendants a treaceable path back to a new ancestral population—most commonly, in US usage, an early colonial immigrant providing traceable ancestry among medieval nobility and royalty.)

Following work begun in the summer and already blogged here, and here, we now have another matching DNA sample from another branch of our Taylor family, which pushes the &#8216;most recent common ancestor&#8217; of all test subjects back another generation, to Simon2 Taylor.

Phillip Schillinger (1831-1888) and Katherine Jenne Schillinger (1832-1918)  were my father&#8217;s mother&#8217;s mother&#8217;s parents, German bourgeoisie in Louisville, Kentucky, whence they had immigrated in 1854 and 1855 from the small town of Kippenheim in the kingdom of Baden-Württemberg.

This was the regiment of my great-great-grandfather Samuel Matlack (1815-1881), regimental quartermaster, then lieutenant and aide-de-camp on the staff of Brig. General Speed S.
