Hello, In 1850 Desoto MS. there was a James Billingsly 64 and Clara 16 from TN. next door to my Reed family which came to Cleveland Co Ark about 1852. And the follwing were next door to them: John W. Wilkerson 31 Martha 28 from Alabama. Their children at that time born in MS. were: Louisa 8? Adaline 1 year old I would like to know if these families also came to Cleveland Co. If so, more information about them and whether or not any of them are connected to my family. Perhaps if a researcher of these families knew of the counties in Alabama and TN. that they were in it may help me find out if the Reed Family was there as well. Thank You, Pat

Pat, I'm not sure what you are asking. I can look in the 1850 and 1860 Bradley county census to see if the Billingsly and Wilkerson families are there. Other than that, I don't really know what I can do. Have you posted a query/message on the Billingsly and Wilkerson discussion lists, or genforum?
