I have the pension records thanks to a very kind sole on this list whom I will not name unless that is their wish. Anyway I have the pension record of one Kilcrease, B.F This is Benjamin Franklin Kilcrease I believe Sr. as a Jr also shows in the area at this exact same time. I further know this man is mine as his Daughters Husband signs some statements for him in this pension record. His name being Joshua Davis son of Darlin Davis of Schley Co. GA found there in US Census Records..................... All that I know about this family is that daughter Elizabeth married Joshua at some point in time. The family later lived in 1905 in what I now know to have been part of Schley Co. GA called Sylvester...............my Step-Father said they use to ride on a buckborad wagon and go to Sylvester to visit with his Grandparents there................between 1905-1913 time frame. Joshua and Elizabeth Davis his Mothers parents! His Mother would be a Granddaughter to this Benjamin F. Kilcrease who's pension record I now have. He said they lived at the time over nearer to Cario, GA out in the country on a farm at the top of a hill..............I also know that he at that time as a child lived very near the place called Meigs, GA??? And Pelham, GA as he spoke of visiting kin there also. He was also related to Barfields and Spence in the areas! His Father's people were Newtons' and Barfields. Daniel Jeptha Newton and Roseann Barfield were his Fathers Parents. His Father was James Wesley Newton who d. 1913. Sometime after that, his Mother took him and his two children, walked away from their farm even leaving behind the family bible, and went to her Fathers Farm for suport in helping her to raise the children. Soon after this, her Brother Nathan Davis, came for Christmas holidays and talked her into leaving GA on the Costline Train New Years Eve and going to Eagle Lake Florida..............close to Winter Haven. To take jobs with him at the Consolidated Navel Stores new Processing plant that was being built at the time. Does any of this fit into information that anyone has on "KILCREASE"?
