Loyalists!

[walkitout]

I think I've _got_ one! I've got an elusive Edward Taylor married to Rebecca Stout, daughter Ann Taylor marrying Ralph Schenck. He's simultaneously underdocumented and overdocumented (too many records for me to believe he's imaginary, but too few for me to make any sense out of his life, and too compatible for me to believe two Edwards have been confused) compared to everyone around him, and the time frame and some other hints are making me think he was a Loyalist. And let me just say, that Loyalists are freaking genealogical black holes in the US.

ETA: *sigh* Probably not, actually.
