    RESEARCH Was Marcilla's first husband the Luther Benton Taylor who was hung for murder in Clay Co ARK on 4 September 1880?

    --Marcilla married "L. B. Taylor" 14 September 1880. (Filed 28 January 1881.)
    --In 1880 Howell County, Chapel township, a Luther B. Taylor, age 22, is found in the census home of his sister, Martha (Taylor) Crowder.
    --Marcilla Deboard was enumerated in the same township, just one page prior.
    --Luther Taylor's 1860 and 1870 census also indicate his birth around 1857-58 in Arkansas.
    --The Luther "Bent" Taylor who was hung for murder in Clay Co ARK was profiled in an article in the New York Herald the next day. Although clearly histrionic, the article mentioned that he was born in Clay County, Arkansas, in 1857; that he went at some point to "Southern Missouri" and additionally mentions Howell and Douglas Counties specifically; that he "married a fair girl, and for a time was happy and contented".
    --At the time of the murder he was riding with two other men, Riley Black whom he was said to murder and another man named William Mulholland.
    --Luther Benton Taylor had an older half brother named Riley J. Taylor, both seen in the 1860 Howell Co census home of their father, John Taylor.
    --In 1880 Riley J. Taylor is found living in Clay County, Arkansas, and William Mulholland is in his household.
    --Marcilla married Henry Meyers in Howell Co in May 1883, suggesting that her first husband was likely dead.
