If you go to the Illinois Statewide Marriage Index 1763 - 1900 (www.cyberdriveillinois.com), you can find the following marriage records (using a variety of spellings for Taulbee):

TAULBEE, James M to CARRIKER, Prudence Mrs Montgomery Co, IL 12/12/1853

FORBIS, John Wesley to TAULBEE, Nancy Fayette Co, 8/18/1842

There are quite a few more, including

GROSS, John to TALBY, Minerva Sangamon Co, 1/1/1832.

It may well be that Minerva was the daughter of a relative; there were quite a few Taulbees on the Index with the following spellings: Talby, Taulby, Taulbee, Talbee.

The Taulbees that are listed in Fayette/Montgomery Counties between 1830 and 1860 are: Talby, Nathaniel G Taulby, Issac Taulbee, Daniel Taulbee, Elijah Taulbee, James Taulbee, William (2) Taulbee, Elizabeth Taulbee, Malinda Taulbee Nancy Taulbee, Sarah Talby, Minerva

Looking at this list, it sticks out that Minerva's last name is spelled differently than most of the others. I wonder how distantly she is related to William Barry Taulbee, if at all.
