  • Notes 
    • From Corbett Cockerham
      Ed Bates to MDV 1991: Marriage bond signed by William Talby and David Cockerham.
      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. William, Nancy and Martin are buried on a bluff on the left side of Big Ramsey Creek, near Boaz Bridge, 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."
      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.
