Thank you for this information. I would have never found it. I see now why I couldn't find Logan in the SSI, he died before SS. Thanks for the Roberts info, I have a Roberts line, but don't work on it, but am always interested. Thanks again for taking the time to share your family info.

Logan Shockey died 28 Feb 1931 in Long Lake, Florence Co. Wis. He was born 8 Nov. 1881 in Rose Fork, Wolfe Co. KY. Bertha Evalee was born 7 Oct. 1895 in Jackson, Breathitt Co. KY and died 14 Feb. 1954 in Peshtigo, Marinette Co., WI. They married 26 Aug. 1914 in Long Lake, Florence Co., WI. In 1930 the family lived in Wabeno (not Waheno), Forest Co. WI. Golden Una (my mother) was born 29 April 1919 in Florence Co. WI. She died 6 Dec. 1974 in Green Bay, Brown Co., WI. Her sister Ida Moline "Molly" was born 9 Jan. 1921 and died 29 June, 1988, in Green Bay, Brown Co., WI. I believe the Alex Roberts next door to them in the 1930 census was Bertha's uncle. He was a brother to James M. Roberts. James M. was living in Florence Co. at the time of the 1930 census. They were both sons of James Monroe Roberts and Rachel Jane Farler of Breathitt Co. I have heard stories that James & Rachel Roberts often took the train up to Wisconsin to visit their sons. I even heard a story about James (Sr) killing a bear and taking it back to KY on the train with him. I also believe you are right about the potato farming up in that area of Wisconsin. I'll have to ask my dad (90 years old now) about that. I do seem to recall that potatoes were a major crop in the area in the early years. -----Original Message----- Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2004 07:49:29 -0500 From: "Carole Bays" <acbays@mrtc.com> To: TAULBEE-L@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <000201c3ea54$2d51e4c0$64df9fd0@IBMF523CA65E3B> Subject: RE: [TAULBEE-L] Logan Shockey Thank you Sue, I was going to post it this morning that I had found another Kentucky Taulbee family that went to Wisconsin. 1930 Forest, Waheno, Wisconsin Logan Shockey 47    1882 Bertha E.    34    1895 Golden U.    10    1919 Ida M.    09    1920 Next Door another KY family Alex Roberts    49 Elizabeth        20 wife Do you know who the Alex Roberts was? They must grow a lot of potatoes up there, I can remember my stepfather's niece telling about doing day work digging or picking up potatoes.  She married and moved to Letcher County or somewhere near there, didn't want to work in potatoes any more.  It hasn't been but about 30  years since my stepfather visited his brother and went bear hunting, got one too.  His other brother used to visit down here and bring grounded up bear meat. UGH!

I understand that the train connected Kentucky to this part of Wisconsin and that many families traveled back and forth via the train. Logan Shockey was the son of Elias Shockey who married Julia Ann McQuinn.  He married Bertha Evalee Roberts who was born in Breathitt Co. and moved to Wisconsin with her parents, James Monroe Roberts and Lilly Belle Gillum. Elias Shockey was the son of Allen Shockey and Matilda Birchfield. Matilda was the daughter of Adam Birchfield and Nancy Taulbee  --  and so my connection to the Taulbee family.
