Hi Betty, You are correct about my Uncle Austin and Aunt Minnie (Boler) Billingsley's son Ed Baker Billingsley. I'm related to both Austin and Minnie (Billingsley and Boler). You and I already know that we are cousins through our Billingsleys. My line goes James Billingsley and Elizabeth Crabtree, John Billingsley and Jean Milsap, (Judge) Samuel Billingsley and Elizabeth Lewis, Milton Franklin Billingsley and Martha Elizabeth Bates (aka Mattie), Cora Ann Billingsley and Henry Garland Boler. There are more Billingsleys before John. The photo I sent has Austin, Minnie, Rhea, Boyce "Buster," and Ed Baker in it. It was in my parents' photo collection. We used to visit Aunt Minnie. When my Mom mentioned Ed Baker Billingsley, she usually called him Baker. Below is information from the OCR [Optical Character Reader] version of THE BILLINGSLEY FAMILY (BILLINGSLY-BILLINGSLEA) IN AMERICA that Bill Billingsley has available online. There are occasional OCR errors that you can easily correct.. Lee Anne 254 JOSHUA (9) BILLINGSLEY (Samuel 7, John 6, James .5, William 4, William 3, John ;2, Francis 1.)
