Ruth Kinney Townsley

Thank you all for your interest in Felix Hickman Bilbrey. I found a post dated Sept. 16, 1998 that was written by my cousin Bob Bilbrey that states Felix was born in Cookville, TN in 1841/42, served under General Nathan B. Forest during the Civil War, married Mary Ann Gulley in 1865, went to IL to study medicine, moved to Puxico, Stoddard Co., MO and died in 1909 in Puxico, MO. This was on the Bilbrey Family Genealogy Forum at Genealogy.com/GENFORUM. Bob Bilbrey died this past spring (2003) . I am told by his brother Jim that Bob was the family genealogist and his records are packed away so his wife can move at this time. My father, Wm. R. Kinney (who was the son of Jennie Lee Bilbrey d/o of Felix Hickman Bilbrey), told me that his grandfather, Dr. Felix Hickman Bilbrey, died of consumption. This could be the medical disability that Hickman Bilbrey had if they are one and the same person. At this point I am considering them the same person. If they are not I sure would like to know it. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated. Ruth Kinney Townsley

Gerald, The military record of said Hickman Bilbrey shows him being disabled from further military service in the 25th Tennessee Infantry by reason of physical disability. He was given his discharge. I will guess this to be the same person as her Felix Hickman Bilbrey. What say ye? Gary D.

Hey Mrs Kenny, My Grandfather was friends with a fellow named Hix Bilbrey. I have a couple of pictures of them together, and one where Hix is shoeing a horse, or perhaps looking at it's hoof. They were young guys, 17-22 maybe. One of the Swallows women married a Bilbrey. I'm not sure which one, and I am at work, away from my info. I am pretty new to this so I don't remember the names real well right now. Ken

Good Morning Lister's. Thought there might be a BILBREY researcher that could use the following: Tennessee's Confederate Widows and Their Families Number of Pension File: 10753 Name of Widow: Sallie BILBREY (JACKSON) (1) County of Widow's Residence at Time of Application: Overton. (2) Year and Place of Widow's Birth: 1861 Overton Co. (3) Name of Soldier, Year and Place of Birth: Felix Grundy BILBREY 1942 Overton Co. (4) Year and Place of Marriage: 1893 Overton Co. (5) Year and Place of Soldier's Death: 1933 Overton Co. Shawn GRAY'S Marriage Book Lists the following Marriage: BILBREY, F.G. -- JACKSON, Sallie 11-19-1993 Also listed in Shawn's Book is: BILBREY, F.G. -- MOREDOCK, E. 01-17-1871 I believe this is Isabelle E. MORDOCK listed in the 1880 Overton Census as wife of Felix G. BILBREY. Tennesseans In The Civil War, Part 2: BILBREY, F.G. - Pvt. F.Co., 13th Cav. Gary's Roll Call lists: BILBREY, Felix G. 12-10-1842 - 06-19-1933 h. of Emaline MOREDOCK, f. of Sid, Co. F, 13th TN Cav. Hope this help's a BILBREY Researcher. Jerald Brown Still searching for parents of Benjamin BROWN and Mary DAVIS, both b. abt. 1810. I believe they are buried without tombstone's in the Concord Cemetery, Hilham. Any info appreciated. Thanks

Hi, My name is Ona Hall - Scalf from Whitley County, Kentucky. I have been trying to help out a friend of mine with some family research. I found a record in the LDS records pertaining to a marriage for JOSEPH JOWDY and DONA JOHNSON in OVERTON COUNTY, TENNESSEE. The date of marriage was 26 FEB 1899. This family eventually settled in Harlan and Laurel Counties in Kentucky with descendents also found in Whitley County, Kentucky. (The surname for Joseph has since changed from JOWDY to JODY.) I'm not familiar with OVERTON COUNTY courthouse records. Can this marriage record be located in the courthouse? I know that floods and fires have destroyed alot of records through the years. We've been trying to locate Joseph's parents, and thought that a marriage record may provide some additional information. We have not been able to locate a death record for him as of now. Thanks in advance, Ona Hall -Scalf Corbin, Ky My surnames are mainly Hall, Mullins, Isaacs, Johnson. All from eastern Ky and western Va areas.

Hi Ron Hall, I did some searching through my files (rather piles <Smile>) and found that my Binom Bilbrey was Binom Franklin Bilbrey. He first lived in Overton co., TN, then moved to Putnam Co. and that is where he and his wife died and are supposed to be buried. My Felix Hickman Bilbrey was born in Overton Co., TN, grew to manhood in Putnam Co., TN, later moved to IL and then back to Nashville, TN where he got his medical degree after studying there in the winters of 1878 and 1879 and graduated in the spring of 1879 from (according to my father, his grandson) Vanderbuilt Medical School. Ruth Kinney Townsley

The reason I know is my Mother was born in Cookplace, Overton Co., and our daughter was born in Cookville, Putnam Co., Ron Hall

I have a picture of Felix Grundy Bilbrey. My wife is kin to some of his descendants by marriage. I also have found a record of a Hickman Bilbrey.

Hi Ron Hall, You know, I do not know. This is the first time I have realized that there were two different Cook----- towns in TN. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I have a copy of an old Civil War picture of my great grandfather, Felix Hickman Bilbrey, who was the son of Binom Bilbrey and Elizabeth last name unknown. Written on the picture is his name and the year 1861 and his age of 20 which would make him born in 1841. Somewhere else I have found a birthdate of 10 August 1841 for him. I cannot remember where I got it but hope I documented the source at the time. Anyway, also on the picture is written Overton Co., TN.
