I am looking for any decendents, or information of my great grandfather, who I believe was the founder of the Taylor Coach company. The company opperated from, or near Exeter in the early part of the 1900s and throughout the Southwest into the second half of the century. Also any information as to what happened to the company,
Dave Hawkes.

To get help with this, you will need to provide a bunch more info.

Your great-grandfather's name, for starters. (Approximate) date of birth, wife's name, children's names, parents' names if known ...

Finding him in the census could provide some siblings' names, and descendants might be found from there.

With the resources available to members here, you should get something!

For the coach company, you might post a question here:
