2 f to 10 = 1 f to 45 = 1 f o45
(His parents came with them and are the people o45.)
-Ed Bates to MDV 1991: "From information furnished by the family, William Barry was 6'2", very fair, bald headed, ruddy cheeks, very little education, sober and moral. " (From Frank Taulbee letter.)
-1994 MDV: "William Barry lived next to the Copes in Breathitt and sold his land to the Copes when he moved to Illinois. It was around Frozen Creek where the Copes, Taulbees and Wilsons lived. When William Hitchcock and Will Barry moved from N.C. some of Nancy's family came with them." NOTE SUBMITTED BY FRANK E. COCKERHAM:

Decendants of William Barry Taulbee and Nancy Cockerham believe that her second son, Martin Cockerham Taulbee, was named for Martin Cockerham (1802-1880+), a son of Humphrey Cockerham, and that Nancy was a daughter of Humphrey. Nancy was born 9 May 1789 and died Aug 14 1838 in Illinois, according to decendant Mary DeBusk Voth.
William Taublee and William Cockerham were two of a group of Wilkes County families that moved to Perry County, Kentucky in the 1820's. The 1830 Census lists in close proximity John Talby, Thomas Talby, William Talby, William Talby (older), Wilie Cockrum, Braxton McQueen, and Johnathan Stampler, all names familiar to Wilkes Copunty, NC. Although William Taulbee and Nancy Cockerham Taulbee moved to Illinois, William "Cockrum" and wife Elisabeth could only be found in Owsley County (adjacent to Perry Co.) in 1850, among many neighbors named "Talby", and also Joel and Polly Stamper.

Ed Bates to MDV 1991:" From information furnished by the family, William Barry was 6'2", very fair, bald headed, ruddy cheeks, [had] very little education, sober and moral." excerpted from a letter from Frank Taulbee.

MDV 1994: "William Barry lived next door to the Cope's in Breathitt [Co.] and sold his land to the Copes when he moved to Illinois. It was around Frozen Creek where the Cope's, Taulbee's and the Wilson's lived. When William Hitchcock, and Will Barry moved from NC, some of Nancy's family came with them."

TRANSCRIBED NOTES FROM ROSE TAULBEE (DECEASED):
William Barry (Elsberry?) was the 6th child of Wm. Hitchcock born in either Wilkes or Stokes Co. NC....Margaret and James were born in Wilkes Co. and the other 8 children were born in the Frozen Creek area of Breathitt Co. after moving there in 1817....William Barry and Nancy migrated to Illinois in the fall of 1836 and settled in Fayette Co., along the Big Ramsey Creek. William did not seem to have bought land either in Kentucky or Illinois. He paid no tax on land in either state. Nancy died Aug. 14, 1837 of what was called "Miasma". This was a disease caused from breathing the deadly gas that came up out of the marshes at night. Hundreds died of it in this area of Illinois. Their son, Martin Cockerham died a year after his mother at the age of 19. William, Nancy and Martin are buried on a bluff on the left side of Big Ramsey Creek, Near Boaz Ridge, nine miles north of Vandalia on the old Shelbyville road. We have found this place, but not the graves. Some from Kentucky came in 1929 and found the site, but subsequent owners destroyed the graveyard. William Barry married a second time to Mrs. Elizabeth Nowlin at Vandalia, Fayette Co. Illinois on Oct. 10 1842.

William married Nancy COCKERHAM on 27 Mar 1812 in Wilkes County, North Carolina. Nancy (daughter of Elder Humphrey COCKERHAM and JAMIMA) was born on 9 May 1789 in Rowan County, North Carolina; died on 14 Aug 1838 in Fayette County, Illinois. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Rose Taulbee: "Nancy died August 14, 1837 of what was called "Miasma", this was a disease caused from breathing a deadly gas that came up out of the marshes at night. Hundreds of settlers died of it in this area of IL. Their son Martin Cockerham died a year after his mother, age 19.

MDV: "Uncle Breck's (William Breckenridge Taulbee) grandson found the graves in 1929."
(MAC: I should note that almost all of Rose's correct information on this line of the Taulbees came from MDV)
June Hurst said "Nancy was born in Rowan County. Her mother went there to have her baby." June Hurst was the wife of Ceasar Hurst who, with June, was a diligent researcher and wrote a book about the Hursts. June also was a descendent of Daniel Duff. When she became infirm (about 1993), she "gave her records" to her nephew.
