Person:Andrew Banks (1)

HI,

I find your email very interesting and your knowledge of the cemetaries as well. You say that your grandmother knows everyone buried in the cemetary, even those with no markers. I wonder if your grandmother could help me confirm this.

My great grandmother Maggie (Peggy) Taulbee daughter of John CB Taulbee and Margaret Allen died when my grandfather Bennie Taulbee was 2 years old. Because my grandfather was so young he was not exactly sure where she was buried. We traveled back to KY several years ago and visited the Taulbee Cemetary at Frozen, maybe Negro Branch, I can't remember because it has been awhile and it was confusing trying to find the cemetary which was down a dirt road and I can remember a street sign "Taulbee". A older relative went with us and pointed out the location in the cemetary where she thought Maggie was buried. There was no headstone and it was near the back of the cemetary up a slight hill near the trees.

Several years later, grandpa returned and placed a marker where he believed his mother was laid to rest based on this relatives recollection. I wonder if your grandmother recalls Maggie Taulbee buried there, she was married to Andrew Jackson Banks who later changed his name to Taulbee (he was a Taulbee - just down the illegitimate side from Preacher William Lee Taulbee - another long story). She would have died in the mid to late 1920s.

Thank you! Cynthia Taulbee-Ellis
