Her notes confirm what the family knows, that Taylor Wesley was the name Jan's father used at least before his son, Coy, was born.) Taylor Casey served two different times in the US military. It is likely that he became AWOL during his second tour, while stationed at Magnolia AK. The family moved to Longview or Marshall and he began using the name, Joe Taylor. Although, as early as Jan's birth certificate, Hazel names the father of her baby as "Joseph Eugene", indicating some informality about the middle name. However, it is clear that Taylor used "Joe" after his service.
