Our first record of Wm. H. Taulbee in North Carolina is as follows:
Wm. Talby in Rev. War, quote "Wm. Talby, member of Capt. Wm. Williams Co., 7th Orange Militia. List given me at Hillsborough by Capt. Wm. of Col. Butler's Battalion, by Thomas Person, Gr. Gen. - This from Roster of Soldiers from No. Car., in the Rev. War. Published by NCDAR 8-2-1776. This action was war with the CHEROKEE, Creek and Seminole Indians 1776-78, along the Eno River which is in Orange Co., N. Car.
Wm. Talby paid tax in Orange Co., N. C. 1779, in the amount $504.40 on land. This was given me as written. Am told Pound Sterling only, was used, but the above is as I have said.

In Wilkes Co., NC -ANDREW CANADY had a mill on Bugaboo Creek (tributary of the Yadkin R.) in Wilkes Co. He was a member of the Roaring Creek Baptist Church in `779. Was a delegate to the Conference and served as Elder. He is very likely Margaret's father.

WILLIAM HITCHCOCK TAULBEE
The family migrated to Kentucky 1817, all except Andrew and Elizabeth
1820 Federal census of Floyd Co., and 1830 Fed. Census of Perry Co., Ky., Wm. Talby is included in the family of son Wm. Barry Talbee.
We so far have NO PROOF that Wm. Talbee was in either the battle of the Cow Pens or Kings Mountain. The battle of The Cow Pens was fought 1-17-1781 and as you have read on previous page, Wm. Talbee was very busy in Wilkes Co., N.C.
We have a question; Was Wm. Hitchcock married once or twice? If the John Dial Taulbee letter is correct, that he married Margaret Canady AFTER the War, then he most certainly had a wife long before that.
Elizabeth, Samuel and Andrew were definitely born before 1783. It would appear that either Elizabeth and husband or Andrew and wife were living at home of Wm. H. at 1800 census time. Samuel was married and had 2 sons already by 1800.
There is the possibility that Wm. married in Orange Co., N.C. or even in Maryland and this 1st wife died and he remarried a second time and to Margaret. If he had only one wife, then he married Margaret Canady as early as 1772.
The story that Margaret Canady was a Cherokee Indian, is without foundation at this time. I would hope that Wm. would not have tried to kill off all his wife's family; refer to his stint in the N.C. Militia, he was fighting the CHEROKEE, Creek and Seminole Indians in 1776.
It would be sad to think that he came home one day to tell her, "Well I just finished the last of your tribe today."
Also sent with this latest information from Wilkes Co., N.C. was the following:
FRANCIS TOLBEY 1779 N. Side of Yadkin River (if this was a purchase of land, no acerage mentioned.)
Have no idea this man's connection to our family. He COULD be brother of Wm. H.
