>5. John R. and wife Martha's son: CLAUD BILLINGSLEY (b1886, d1937 in >Birmingham), Chilton Co. 1900 census, Baldwin Co. 1910 census, Birmingham >City Directory 1922. >From "Yours,Mine and Theirs" "A listing of Civil War soldiers connected with Chilton County, Alabama." Page 12 Billingsley, John R. was born 12 Sept 1847 and died 12 Sept 1922 and was buried at Thorsby Memorial cemetery. Obit: None. Married Mrs. Martha D. on 1873 at [B. Oct 1856/D. 15 Sep 1935}. Union-Banner 19 Sep 1935. Survived by eight sons and two daughters. Ref: 1910C, CoC page 239 ----------- The above is directly as it is in the book. The references appear to be the 1910 Census and the book "Cemeteries of Chilton" but they are not in the bibliography so I'm not sure. "Cemeteries of Chilton", does list him on the quoted page. The book was a big project and covers a lot of sources but the final project was done from a computor database that put the details together. It is not always clear what is meant and some sources may be missing. For example the line (Married Mrs. Martha D. on 1873 at [B. Oct 1856/D. 15 Sep 1935}. Union-Banner 19 Sep 1935.) appears to refer to an Obit for HER in the Union Banner. Also from this I would expect to find a death cert. for her and more records of his service. In this time period it would not be uncommon to find a homestead claim for land. If you would like more details on where to look for more email me directly and include the entire message as it is difficult to keep up with all the people I deal with from message to mesage. If you happen to be in the B'ham,Al area or can get there easily most are availible there (Montogomery as well). If not I can help there as well but it will require I type a lot more.

Hello Brandon -- Thanks for your message. As far as I know, the Ropers are not part of my DIRECT ancestry. My great grandfather was John Roper Billingsley, who was born in 1847 in Alabama. He was the son of Christopher Columbus Billingsley Sr. In the 1860 Autauga Co. census, Christopher had listings of age 43 and occupation "minister BF." I had found J.T. Roper, age 50 and occupation "minister ME," in the 1860 Autauga Co. census, and had wondered if my John Roper Billingsley were named for J.T. Roper. I have a "testament" written by Christopher, in about 1900, that contains this phrase: "About the year 35 or 39 I professed religion and united with the Methodist Episcopal Church and served them as class leader and local preacher for about (21) years. I became dissatisfied with their faith and practice and joined the regular or missionary Baptist Church of Christ .... I have served them to the best of my ability over (20) years...." So, Christopher was a Methodist Episcopal minister at the time his son John Roper Billingsley was born in 1847, and J.T. Roper was an ME minister in 1860. Don't you think it's reasonable to conclude that Christopher and J.T. Roper knew each other and that Christopher gave his son John the middle name of Roper to honor his friend? But, the Billingsleys in the four generations from 1753 through the late 1800s all had many, many (10-13!!!) children, so another possibility is that there was a marriage between a Billingsley and a Roper, and that this relationship led to John Roper Billingsley's middle name. I have not yet researched any Billingsleys except those in my direct line, so I don't know whether there are Ropers there or not. I'll keep my eyes open. The Martha I mentioned was the wife of my John Roper Billingsley. She was born in 1856, and was still alive at the 1900 census. I don't know what her maiden name was -- in various census records the initials W, D, and E all appear at least once. But, she would not have been the source of my ancestor's Roper middle name, since she was his wife. Hope this is enlightening.

Pat Salis!! Well I'll be. I thought no one would ever ask about any Ropers. Which Roper are you looking for. I have in my tree my g-g-g-g-grandfather one John Thompson Roper, who was a Methodist Minister from South Carolina. He was born in NC in 1810?, and settled in SC, then moved to AL , dying in Chilton County. His grave in located there. It is quite interesting this name Martha-it is probably recurring. My g-g-grandmother was Martha Roper, who was the daughter of one Caroline-who was the daughter/relative of said J.T. Roper. Let me know if this means anything to you.

Just a loving reminder to my fellow Chiltonians--it's easy to forget to hit the "reply to author" button instead of the "reply to all" button when replying to a post on the mail list. If you're just responding to a reply and everyone on the list does NOT need to see the reply, you should hit the "reply to author" button (or whatever your email program's equivalent is). It's sort of annoying to get emails from the list that just say "Thanks, Bubba!" (not as annoying as a dead car battery, of course, but you get the picture!) Try to remember not to hit the "reply to all" button unless the reply might be of interest to more than one person on the list. Thanks, y'all, and keep up the good work! By the way, thanks to every Veteran on this list for his or her contribution to keeping America free!!

Hi Brandon I have a J. T. Roper b. 3-30-1810 d. 6-1887 buried at Isabella Methodist Cemetery, Chilton County, Alabama. On his tombstone is the notation "Ordained to the ministry 1839". Next to him is Elizabeth C. Roper b. 4-11-1814 d. 4-18-1890. On her tombstone is the notation "Relict of Rev. J. T. Roper. Buried near them is Infant Roper 7-7-1924, with a notation "Baby Girl". also Thomas W. Roper b. 11-20-1877 d. 4-16-1895. Notation "Son of B. E. & Sarah J.". The later is possibly related to John and Elizabeth. The C in Elizabeth's name could stand for Caroline. Maybe this will help. All is recorded in Cemeteries of Chilton, page 309.
