Passport Applications - Flemen Coffee Taylor - 1919, 1920, and 1921

Flemen Coffee Taylor, son of Richard Fleming Taylor and Elizabeth Jane Paxton, was born 9 November 1877 in Cromwell.  The first Passport application is for Flemen and his wife, Sarah (Hernandez), to travel to Mexico City, Mexico; he states that their official residence is Birmingham, AL; that from 1905 to 1908 he resided in Mexico City; that he is a mechanical engineer; and that he seeks to travel there as an agent for a manufacturing company.

His second application, the following year, states that his permanent residence is Beaver Dam; that he has been in Mexico City for a year "on business."

His third application, filed about one year later, states that his permanent residence is Ensley, Alabama; that he is living in Tampico, Mexico; and that he is there on business on behalf of the Freeport-Mexican Oil Company, working as an engineer.

Flemen, his wife and daughter, are shown living in Beaver Dam in the 1930 and 1940 census. They had at least one child, a daughter, Sarah May (Mae), born in Mexico in 1920.

Flemen graduated from the State College of Kentucky, in Lexington, Class of 1902, and gained his Masters Degree in 1905.

Flemen died 23 October 1951 in Pierre, Hughes County, South Dakota at age 73.  He is shown buried in Riverside Cemetery in Pierre.  Although he spelled his first name as Flemen, I found him listed as Fleman in several places.

Passport Application - Estill Turns - 1908

THANKS to Janice Brown!  She solved the mystery.  The last name is Turns, not Tarus. I have made the appropriate changes below.

MYSTERY:  I need some help on this person. I do not find a family with this name in the census records. I have tried several variations of spelling of the last name [spelled Tarus by Ancestry.com] (please check the image of the application below and look closely at his signature). One clue is that in 1908 he stated he lived in Rochester, KY, which is in Butler County (right on the Ohio County/Butler County line).

Of course 1867 was right after the end of the Civil War and people were moving around a lot because there were no jobs. So, maybe his family didn't stay in Ohio County very long.

I also checked Joe Taylor's web site and did not find any connection. Also checked Findagrave.com and Ancestry.com with no success. Please contact me if you have any ideas or information.
