Hello April,

You're more than welcome ... Your posting is what AfriGeneas is all about, helping people find their family history and genealogy and preserving those stories. You appear to be well on the track of doing just that. Your mention of Ironton, Ohio caught my attention as I have former college mates, current friends and neighbors from Ironton.

Was EndaBelle Williams, the informant on Major Billingsley's (sp), his daughter? I ask because the Billingsly/Billingsley/Billingslea records found on FamilySearch are very interesting. Without possibly taking the 'thrill of discovery' from you, the information found on the FamilySearch records for the family's of Major, Mary & Roland Reed "Billingslea" cover OH, WV, AL, GA & MI. ..... Ironton, Columbus, Pomeroy, Ohio and Woodlawn cemetery in Lawrence County, Ohio.

Best Wishes and please do keep us informed of your progress.

Art Thomas

p.s. BTW, is this WW I Draft Registration record your Lawyer Williams?
