Does anyone know anything about this family? I stumbled across this William in the 1880 census for Osage Township in Benton County Arkansas: William W M 45 b. Kentucky Martha W F 35 Wife b. Tennessee Ada W F 6 Daughter b. Arkansas Hobbs (?) 4 W M Son b. Arkansas Burrel W M 80 Father Virginia I looked back to 1860 census and didn't find Burrel or William. I AM still searching for the father of Berry L. Horsley. Wondering if this could be a possible lead to something. About all I know for sure about Berry L. is that he, according to census, was born in Kentucky someplace in, or around, June 1817. By 1850 he was in Illinois. He died in Hunnewell Kansas in 1884 and is buried in Coles County Illinois. -- "A good moral character is the first essential in a man." George Washington _ _... ..._ _ _._ ._ ..... ._.. ... .._
