ANDREW (JACKSON?) TOLBY (Taulbee)

(c) 1999 TFDG



The use of TOLBY as the surname form is because the TAULBEE variant does not show up until about the 1840s and not in all lines. [B. G.] Andrew  was born circa 1775 probably in Orange County, North Carolina, the son of William Hitchcock Talbee (Tolby/Taulbee) and an unknown 1st, possibly 2nd, wife.  Andrew died after 1840 in Washington County, Virginia.  Andrew married 2nd [possibly 3rd], on December 24, 1829 in Gate City, Scott Co., VA to Elizabeth Alley. 

Andrew's children by 1st [possibly 2nd] marriage:

Rose Taulbee listed all these as children of Andrew but expressed uncertainty that all were his.  There is at this time no other credible place to put them.

 
  • Isaac Tolby (Taulbee)
  • Edwin Tolby (Taulbee), born circa 1809, married Elizabeth Williams
  • Elizabeth Tolby (Taulbee), born 1802, married John Dunn, Sr.,
  • Margaret "Peggy" Tolby (Taulbee), born 1805, married 1st, Unknown and 2nd, John Dunn, Jr.
  • William Tolby (Taulbee), born 1814, married, Mary Campbell, and married 2nd, Hannah Perry
  • Andrew Jackson Tolby (Taulbee), born January 15, 1819, married Mary Donaldson
  • Mary Tolby (Taulbee), born 1825, married Lewis Shore, Jr.
  • Samuel Tolby (Taulbee), born 1827, married Nancy Hollon
  • Wiley Tolby (Taulbee), born circa 1829, married 1st, Mary "Polly" Tutt, and married 2nd, Anna [Shoemaker?] Birch

Andrew's marriage to Elizabeth Alley produced no children.

Fayette County [Illinois], Vol. 8, No. 4, published December 1979.  "Additions & Corrections to the Taulbee Family" by Rose Taulbee [the periodical is called Fayette FACTS]

Andrew came to Kentucky after 1825, not with the rest of the family.


Rose Taulbee was not certain that Wiley was a son of Andrew.

"Have decided to put WILEY here in Andrew's file, at least they will be together.  Andrew could have married two times before he married Elizabeth Alley.  Have info that Samuel and Wiley were brothers and that their mother's name was Banks (last name).  Samuel was married and living in Breathitt County, KY 1850 and Wiley was married and living in Morgan Co., KY 1850.  By 1860 they both were in Morgan Co., 1870 and 1880 they were in Wolfe Co., did not move, Wolfe formed from part of Morgan.  Did not find them 1900.

IF they don't belong to Andrew, then there is SAMUEL b. 1810 who married 1827 Perry County, Ky and we don't know his wife's name.  This Samuel belongs to II Samuel Taulbee.  Samuel (1810) was a widower by 1840 and never married again.  I do hope someone really knows that will tell us."
