Please Note - the information and photo's were provided by chapter member, Becky Morris. The chapter would like to thank Beck for donating this material. Correction in regards to the children of Wilber Billingsley (son of James). He had a 4th child – a daughter, Bette Ann, who was born on 9/1/1930. She married Robert Kuhn. I have a lot of research and a lot of my family is from the Rayland area. Jara Tucker can be contacted at jaratucker@sbcglobal.net
