Mary Meadors Heard KIlmer is suppose to be the mother of our Early Kilmer. I can find a James and a Jacob Kilmer in Marion County, Tenn. in the 3rd District in 1836. The Kilmers are my husband's line. I started looking 10 years ago for a Mary Pyburn who went from Ga., Tenn, to Mo. and finally to Texas between 1820-1900. I as descended from a Mary (unknown) Pyburn Roberts in Wise County, Texas. I can find her on the1850 census married to an Eli Roberts. Obviously, something has happened to her first husband Mr. Pyburn. I can not find her with Nancy Elizabeth PYburn(my great-great-grandmother). In 1908, Mary Pyburn Roberts stated she had to go back for her daughters-one being my Nancy.
