Taulbee List Public Archives December 1998 2 Dec 98 really helps to include the message. Should not do this in the early AM Hi, folks -- In the last week or two, AOL users have been experiencing more trouble than usual delivering mail to RootsWeb. Apparently AOL's mail servers have been having difficulty establishing a connection to us, so AOLers (both listowners and regular subscribers) have been getting bounces that say "could not deliver mail for 3 days" when sending to RootsWeb. To fix this, I've set up a secondary mail server for RootsWeb. If AOL can't deliver mail to our primary mail server, it should automatically try to deliver to the secondary. Since the two servers live on totally different networks, the probability of being unable to deliver to *both* systems should be pretty low, so I think the problem will mostly go away. So, thanks for your bug reports, and let's see if this doesn't fix things for your subscribers. -- Regards, Tim Pierce RootsWeb Genealogical Data Cooperative system obfuscator and hack-of-all-trades - ---------------------- Bob George Surprise, Arizona http://www.doitnow.com/~moravia/index.html The Crooked Tree's Census On Line & The Taulbee Pages George, Taulbee, Brady, Bailey, Dressback 5 December Issac D. TAULBEE (note spelling) submitted to the first session of the 30th Congress a claim for a horse lost in the Blackhawk war. The claim was laid on the table, so I guess he did not get money to replace his horse. I do not recall off hand if the First Congress was in 1888 or 1890, but the date should be about 1839 - 1841. This is the earliest record (in this case a digested record) I have seen with the spelling TAULBEE and calls into some question my theory that the spelling was KY regional caused by who ever was the school master. It may still be, but the previos earliest example I remember seeing was in the 1840s in the Morgan County, KY Marriage records. Source for the ab0ve is a 1970 publication by the Genealogical Publishing Co of Baltimore called: Digested Summary and Alphabetical List of Private Claims which have been Presented the the House of Representatives From the First to the Thirty-First Congress. The Digest was compiled by the House of Representatives. After more frustrating hours trying to pin down an imigration trail for our John Talby and Edward Talbee, I just about ready to say they were deposited in the colonies by space aliens. I found a reference to a reference about John Talby in Filby & Mayo Passanger & Immigration Lists Index, 1984 Supplement that gives a date of 1639, much too late, and cites FARMERS: A Genealogical Register, p 281. Naturally it is not in our library. Except for the 2 examples of TOLBY immigrating from Ireland during the famine, have not been able to locate the surname elsewhere in Ireland or in Immigration records. I am in the process of reformatting our census pages so that they are by county rather than by date which will make them easier to find and correct. Should be done by New Years since I have the two week Christmas vacation. I am adding quite a few new links as well as correcting the broken ones. Darn page owners keep moving them. There are still a lot of documents not yet donated to the USGENWEB archives. Anyway, hope these are of value to you. If nothinng else, it should make them easier to log on to by eliminating some of the multiple layers of indexes in the various pages. Talk to all of you later. ----------------------- Bob George Surprise, Arizona http://www.doitnow.com/~moravia/index.html The Crooked Tree's Census On Line & The Taulbee Pages George, Taulbee, Brady, Bailey, Dressback 12 December From: Bob George 12/12/98 12:10 PM Subject: Taulbee Notes Resent-From: TAULBEE-L@rootsweb.com To: TAULBEE-L@rootsweb.com >From my weekly visit to the genealogical library. Did not get to spend much time today, other things keep pressing. A couple of new acquisitions for the library: Oxford Dictionary of English Surnames (for those trying to locate the distant origins of the name) Gives about the same origins for TALLBOY as Judge James Franklin Taulbee and Rose gave for the Taulbee line, except it has no Talby examples or variants. Still looks like reaching, but there could be a connection a few centuries ago between our lines and Tallboy. KY Encyclopedia, John E. Kleber, Editor (pub about 1988) This is for those keeping track of William Preston Taulbee: William Preston Taulbee, U. S. congressman, was born October 22, 1851, in Morgan County, one of twelve children of Mary Ann (Wilson) and William H. Taulbee, farmer and later state senator. He attended local schools, married Lou Emma Oney in 1871, entered the Methodist ministry, and in 1881 was admitted to the bar. Taulbee was twice Magoffin County court clerk. A Democrat, he was elected to two terms in the U. S. House of Representatives, serving from March 4, 1885, to March 3, 1889. Taulbee's political career ended in scandal when newspaperman Charles E. Kincaid reported the married congressman's relationship with a young Washington, D. C., woman. Months later, on February 28, 1890, Taulbee threatened Kincaid; in the Capitol a few hours later, Kincaid shot the unarmed Taulbee. He died on March 11 and was buried in Mt. Sterling. Kincaid, who was charged with murder, was acquitted despite two eyewitnesses to the shooting. See James C. Klotter, "Sex, Scandal., and Suffrage in the Gilded Age," Historian 42 (February 1980 225-43. Article is signed James C. Klotter. Still going through the LDS North American CD. Looks I will finally get a few hits for our list cousin Richard Jennings. Richard, there are birth and baptismal records going back to the 1600s in MA. If this interests you , will copy them to a disk and email them to you next week. A note for those of you who have upgraded to Win 98. You will want to visit the Microsoft webpage download site and download a few patches. One of them fixes a year 2000 bug effecting Win 98 and some microsoft software, the others fix some security problems in outlook express and Internet Explorer. In some cases a hacker could get into your computer via the back door, so the messages read. I imagine as long as we have hackers we will have these kind of problems. I would like to place a search engine on the Taulbee Web pages, on our closed page, that would search both the open and closed directories so things would be easier to find. If any of you knows a simple way to do this, would you let me know? Talk to you all later. From: Bob George 12/19/98 5:25 PM Subject: Taulbee and other surname boards. Resent-From: TAULBEE-L@rootsweb.com To: TAULBEE-L@rootsweb.com The following suites of surname boards are active and can be reached from the Taulbee Pages or from http://www.doitnow.com/~moravia/genc.html The surnames are: Childers/Childress Dressback/Dreisbach Rose Taulbee Tolson The suites of Boards are: Query, Biography, Bible Records, Deeds, Obits, Pensions, and Wills These boards were created for rootsweb donors and sponsors, not list owners, since many list owners do not contribute a dime to rootsweb. I had to grab these by tomorrow, so I did. It will help me in that it gives a place to file postings and since I will never catch up with the web page, I can use that. It also gives a place for me to send queries that are not strictly part of our lines. Since all mail lists are now closed to non subscribers, these boards are the only place non subscribers can post and receive answers. When you are searching for only one ancestory, a mail list is not always what you want. Their is no Tolson list, but the suite of boards can be made to act like one if you Tolson members wish to use it that way. There are now two Taulbee Obit boards. One is closed, with 3,956 posts. It has to be closed because of the number of queries it generates. The other is open and you can post there. We no longer have a backlog of obits so there should not be the same problem. I have not yet received an answer on a Birchfield board. They are rushing to get it going by tomorrow, but it may be after the New Year before I find out if we will have it or someone else will. It does not matter as long as it gets on line. These boards will not compete with mail lists, but should make them more effective. Feel free to use them. I only have welcome messages on the Taulbee boards, but will get the others up this weekend. Louise, you get into all boards exactly the same way as the existing obit board you worked so hard on. Everything is the same. Merry Christmas everyone and will talk to you later. The genealogy libray is closed for 3 weeks, so will not be finding new information From: Bob George 12/21/98 3:43 PM Subject: Silas Taulbee Resent-From: TAULBEE-L@rootsweb.com To: TAULBEE-L@rootsweb.com A couple of notes from a person who dropped by the website. I was born and raised in Hazel Green - (I ran across your genealogy by chance). We used to visit a Silas Taulbee's home many times. I believe he worked with my father, William (Bill) Tolson at Hazel Green Academy. Is the same Silas Taulbee as in the genealogy? == The Silas Taulbee we knew would be around 98 years old if living. I am completely out of touch with the Tolsons. My father was an orphan, but his relatives seem to have come mostly from the Campton, Ky. area. Keep in touch. Thanks again. If you have information for her, let me know and I will put you in contact. Also, drop by http://www.doitnow.com/~moravia/genc.html and take a look at the Surname boards in place. I will either be working with the Rose list owner, or eventually transfering them to his control. I wanted the boards set up and in place before the short dead line expired, but I do not really need to control them nor the administrative tasks involved. If I transfer them to him, I can activate another surname in its place. Merry Xmas and talk to you all later.

Help if you can and I will ask for a scanned copy to help. I say non subscriber because I cannot find the email used on the list of subscribers, so appogies in advance if I am in error.

There is an Evadine Reginia Radcliff age 17 yrs Vandalia IL (written on the back) Since the Taulbees connect to the Radcliffs in Vandalia I thought there might be some one out there that could tell me about her. The picture looks as if it were taken in the 40's-possibly early 50's?? Its not much to go on but there must be a reason dad kept the picture??

Resent-From: TAULBEE-L@rootsweb.com To: TAULBEE-L@rootsweb.com Dianne emailed me a photo of the Evadine in question and I have placed it in our photo album http://www.doitnow.com/~moravia/taulbee.html for those who may have forgotten. If this is a connection ,it is most likely in Isaac D. Taulbee's line which went into Illinois, especially Shelby and Fayette Counties. There were a number of marriages between Taulbee, Boaz, Radcliff, and Cline. A quick search through Rose Taulbee's book reveals no joy, she did not carry the lines into the time frame of the photo. So here is hoping there are some Radcliff descendants on the list who can help. From: "Al Byrd" 12/27/98 1:38 PM Subject: Margaret Matilda (Mills) Taulbee Obitutary Tuesday March 14, 1922 Resent-From: TAULBEE-L@rootsweb.com To: TAULBEE-L@rootsweb.com For all you cousins out there that call Margaret Mills Taulbee Great Grand Mother, I thought this obit May be of interest to you. Margaret Matilda Taulbee, widow of Joseph Taulbee, a veteran of the Civil War, and one of the oldest citizens of Hillsboro, died at her home on Vandalia Street in Hillsboro, at 12:10 PM, Sunday march 12th at the advanced age of 80 years, one month and 26 days. The deceased was born in Salsbury, Iredell County, North Carolina on January 16th, 1842 , and she came to Montgomery county with her parents when she was eleven years of age. An immigrant train was organized in North Carolina to come out west and locate and the parents of Mrs Taulbee, Mr and Mrs Jimmie Mills joined this party and traveled overland in ox carts to Hillsboro, where they settled. In 1864, Joe Taulbee, who was then a member of Co H, 9th Illinois Infantry, and who had been fighting under Colonel J.J. Phillips since the beginning of the Civil War, came home on furlough and while he was here he was united in marriage with the deceased. He then returned to the Army and served a year and a half, or until the close of the war. Twelve children were born to this union, eight of whom survive their mother. These children are as follows: + Andrew, who died April 4, 1906 + Mattie, wife of Tom Wallace of Springfield Ill + Levi, of Marquard Missouri + Matilda Elizabeth, wife of Ed Allen of Homer, Neb. + Joseph, who died in infancy + Mrs Durand, who preceded her mother + William , who died seven years ago + George, Norman and James M. of Hillsboro: + Mrs Lena Friesland, of Taylor Springs; + Margaret, wife of George Allen of Rexford, Kansas + Mrs H.H. Simpson of Palmer, Illinois Besides her children, Mrs Taulbee leaves 51 grandchildren and 30 great-grandchildren, and two half sisters, Mrs J.J. Everly, of Ohlman, Illinois and Mrs John Dilworth, who resides in Oklahoma. Joseph Taulbee, husband of the deceased, was a brave soldier and one of our most prominent veterans of the Civil War, and he was called to his reward thirty years ago---on January 20th, 1892, since which time his widow has continued to reside in Hillsboro, where she reared her large family of children. Mrs Taulbee was a member of the Christian Church of Hillsboro, and took an active interest in the church work as long as her health permitted. The funeral services will be held at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 14th at the family residence, and the remains will be laid to rest at Oak Grove Cemetery. I count 13 children, however the article was poorly written, if any one has a list of all the children, please send it to me. As you can see, the reporter failed to give first na,es of some of the children.

When I first joined this list I had found a second book and made comparisons with Rose's book. My line is from Isaac D. Taulbee and so is Vera's book, as far as it goes. It is mostly about Harris and side branches. It has a lot of Boaz, Radcliff and Cline as well as Isaac's Taulbee lines. I found a Eveline Radcliff but she is born in 1847 and in looking through the book, I don't find anything as recent as 1940 or 50 with that name. According to Vera's records, there are no Radcliff families in the 1910 Fayette Co. Census so it looks like they all moved away. Sorry. Deb Lundquist
