Hey, everybody....I'm the Josh Taylor mentioned in the above posts. I got an email the other day from a Crump, who's great great grandfather (like me) is John Thomas Bazar. He has a picture of John Thomas and his wife, Francis Jane Hogan. He said he was busy, but at the first opportunity he'd scan it and send it to me. Anyway, this kind of got me back into researching my Bazar line and I found this post. Today I called and got the numbers of two of the oldest Bazars in our line still alive. They are also descended from John Thomas. They say he did, in fact, die in Oklahoma. An older cousin of mine says this also. Not very concrete or factual, but it's definitely a starting point. What I do know is that my grandmother knew John Thomas. He lived with her and her parents at some point. My grandmother was born in 1912, so for her to have remembered it he must have stayed with them at some point between around 1915 or 1916 to 1920, when he died. Everyone that I spoke to is in agreement with a few things. One, he was told that he couldn't stay with my grandma's family (her father was John Thomas' son, Henry Jasper Bazar) unless he was nice to the children. I remember vividly my grandmother telling me that he used to have a cane and he'd be sitting up on the porch and swat at them with it. Haha. Anyway, my grandmother was born in Texas, but they moved to Chickasha, Oklahoma when she was very young...around 1916 or so. They moved up there in a covered wagon. They didn't stay too long before they moved back to Texas, but I'm not sure of the year. They moved back in a car, while the older boys brought the furniture back in the wagons. I know that in 1910 they were living in Limestone County WITHOUT John Thomas Bazar. The last census I can find for John Thomas is 1900 when he was living with another one of his sons in Hill County, Texas. In 1920 my great great grandpa, Henry Jasper Bazar and family were living in Grady County, Oklahoma. So, if everyone I've talked to today is right and John Thomas was living with them when he passed, then he may be found in a cemetery in Grady County. The town was Tabler. The census was hard to find....on ancestry.com they're last name is spelled Bayor. But it's most definitely them. It lists my grandma and all my great aunts. And with names like Ethel, Alva, and Opal (with all the correct dates) it's hard to deny. Anyway, that's my 2 cents worth. Found out some more "oral stories" passed down through the years about John Thomas Bazar and his post civil war years that I'd be glad to share if you want to email me. joshtaylor@hotmail.com
