( I hope I get the # of generations right) I believe he had two sons, John and William. William moved to the Arcadia, LA area. He and many of his descendants are buried in Bear Creek Cemetery there. His brother John moved close to him. Both brothers had sons named William. Only their middle initials were different. I descend from John's son William. He is my GG Grandfather. He was married to Esther Shattuck/Chaddick (many different spellings) and had two sons Henry and Tom. Henry was my G Grandfather. Henry Tilley married Samantha Harvey. One of their sons was a Thomas. Thomas' son Hoy was my father. Both Williams that were 1st cousins have descendants in the Vernon and Beauregard Parish area of LA.
