No, the name of my grandson is not entirely original

I am posting here only because I wanted to set the record straight concerning the roots of the name of my new improved Grandson, one Hugh Taylor Fox Pierce. The more or less original Hugh Taylor was born 1 January 1883, almost 126 years ago. He was the older brother of my grandfather, Nephi G. Taylor. (Thus, he was my great uncle. He is the great-great-great uncle of my grandson!) Nephi and Hugh were the tail end charlies of the children of Martin Van Buren Taylor, he of four wives and forty plus children. My father, Hugh Blaine Taylor, was named after his uncle Hugh. My father was born 24 December 1914, one day short of 94 years before the birth of my grandson. Now, you know the rest of the story.

Words of Wisdom, so to speak

No, the name of my grandson is not entirely original
