Gary, Is there still a community called Curry's Chapel. That is where Lester was born on the Putnam and Overton Co, Line. There was a small creek along the area where Lester and my dad were born. He was my dad's younger brother.

Hi Jerald, I haven't been able to contact Reda as of yet. I just returned from a trip to Athens, Ga visiting my daughter and grandkids. As I may have mentioned before, I am trying to help a friend research Joseph Jody and Dona Johnson. These are not any of my kin, as far as I know. (My Johnson ties are mostly concentrated in Pike, Letcher, Knott, and Floyd Counties of Kentucky. I have tracked them from mostly from Virginia in the late 1700's to the above mentioned counties. Some of my Johnson names are Patrick Johnson b. 1771 in Virginia married Delilah Carter, Elisha Johnson born 1819 married Elizabeth Betty Mullins, John Johnson (h/o Katy ?) born bef 1765 in Va.) I don't have any information on Dona Johnson's parents as of now. I do know that her name is Charlotte Dona Johnson and that she was born in Tennessee on 22 July 1883. I do not know if she had siblings and if so, their names. I'm guessing that both Dona and her husband Joseph have some kind of ties to Overton Co., since they were married there. I just started helping this friend out recently, so I don't have much info to work with. That's why I was inquiring about the marriage records. Thought that it may shed some light. I don't have a death certificate yet, and I'm not sure if my friend has one for her either.

Good Afternoon Ona, Hope you were successful in contacting Reda. If you didn't get the info you were seeking let me know. I might be able to get it from another source in Overton. Do you have the parent's of Dona? My gr-gr-grandparents were Wilson R. JOHNSON and Savina GALTON. Wilson was b. June 8, 1912, in KY and d. Dec 28, 1905, in Clay Co., TN. Savina was b. Jan 7, 1816, in TN and d. Apr 22, 1889, in Clay Co., TN. I believe Savina had ties to KY but can't make a connection. If you ever come across any GALTON'S I would appreciate the info. Also, any info on the LAXTON'S in KY. Dona must have had a connection to Overton. I have other JOHNSON'S I'm researching and would like to see if I can connect her to one of them.

Thomas b. 1862 4. Ellen b 1865 He married his 2nd wife Sarah Permelia Carr in TN 1884 b 12/11/1858 d 04/11/1935 in Big Spring TX They had the following children: 5. William (Willie) or Bennie 6. Jimmie (died of malaria in East Tx (Dekalb) 7. Maggie Jane Wray, Neves(my grandmother) b. 11/15/1889 d.12/14/94 in Big Spring, TX Mt.Olive Cemetery 8. Mattie 9. Benton M. 10. Floy 11. John K If anyone has any info - I would appreciate your input.

Gary, I checked the 1850 TN Census and the only Felix listed was age 9 with BILBREY, Binom and Margaret, both 30. Other ch: Juliann 6, Parela 5, Hilra 3, James 1. This was in Overton Co. No BILBREY'S listed in Putnan Co in the 1850 Census. Note: The 1850 Index list's Binom's son as Silas. It is clearly Felix on the actual census page. This is not my line but am alway's interested in Overton Co. families.

He was given his discharge. I will guess this to be the same person as her Felix Hickman Bilbrey. What say ye? Gary D.
