Their daughter, Malinda Mansell married my GrGrGrandfather, Michael "Mike" Ziegler. I have some notes from a Mansell researcher from the 1970's that Martha's sister, Elizabeth Billingsley married Burrell Mansell's brother Robert Mansell. And that their father's name was Walter Billingsley and his father was James Billingsley. That James Billingsley was killed by the Tories in SC during the war. Also there was a James, Jr. mentioned, brother of Walter that was a Captain. I know that my Mansell's lived in Jackson and McMinn Co., TN. I'm not sure about the Billingsley's but according to a copy of a letter I have from an ancestor they lived in TN also. Thanks, P. Forister
