Millie married Wesley Sebastian and then Joseph Roberts and moved to Texas.. What I need now is the info on Matilda. Thanks in advance!! Linda

My name is Joyce, but that's O.K Since I have a younger sister named Janet, I have often been called Janet.

The unknown female you listed must be Matilda; I have her birth date as Feb 1822. The children I have listed for Nancy Taulbee and Adam Birchfield are: Mary Jane b. 16 Jan. 1805 William "Will" b. 1811, d. abt. 1882 John b. 1815, d. bef. 1925 James b. 1816 Millie b. 1819 Matilda b. Feb. 1822, d. aft. 1880

Linda Wrote: The story I was told said that Millie and 1st husband Wesley Sebastian came to Illinois (Fayette County). He died and she went back to Kentucky where she married Joseph Roberts. They in turn moved to Texas. Both Joseph and Millie are buried in Parker County, Texas

I have also heard the story of Millie and Westly/Wesley Sebastian moving to Ill. and his dying there. Supposedly his brother, John, went to Ill. and brought Millie back to Ky. John Sebastian was married to Margaret Taulbee, who was a first cousin to Millie. John and Margaret were my g-g-grandparents. Allen Shockey and Matilda Birchfield were also my g-g-grandparents.

I do not have documentation for any of this info. When my mother passed away, I found this info in notes and family history charts she had composed.

Hope this helps. JJ
