Thomas and Velda, I have Ephraim Bilderback in my line but have not necessarily been concentrating on him either. Ephraim married Eliza "Ella" C. Henson (d/o Benjamin and Sophia Whitson Henson). The only other information I have on them is that they had three children: William T. (DOB 12/10/1852 in Jackson County and DOD 2/26/1853 in Jackson County; Joseph DOB Abt 1854; and Minerva DOB Abt 1857. William T. is buried in Boon Cemetery along with his mother, Eliza Whitson Henson. I have no further information on the family.
