Hi there - my father was William Jasper Bilbrey and he was born in 1923 in Tennessee -- born in Fenteress County - close to Jamestown -- should have listened more to my mom when she was telling me stories. He married my mother Clara Mae Loden Bilbrey in the late 40's. His father was James Floyd Bilbrey and his mother was Zelphi Belle King Bilbrey -- both of his parents died before I was born so they had to have died in the late 50's early 60's. His brothers were Elbert and Ray Bilbrey -- Elbert lived in Soddy Daisy Tennesse and died in the 80's -- Ray lived here in Conyers, Georgia until recently and he moved to Oklahoma. His sisters were Pansy, Tamsy, Alphi and Verti -- keep in mind I'm going from memory on these names and would not swear to the spellings -- Pansy is still living in the Cincinnati Ohio area I think -- the other 3 sisters are dead. My dad went by Bill or Willie -- he served in World War II. I have 3 brothers and 2 sisters: William David Bilbrey (55 - born in June 1949), Danny Wayne Bilbrey (53 - born in October 1951), Donald Wynn Bilbrey (deceased - born in 1954), Faith Ovadell Bilbrey (48 - born in 1956), Margie Gail Bilbrey (45 - born in 1959) and me Billie Jo Bilbrey (38 - born in 1966). We all live in Conyers and Covington Georgia.
Does anyone know anything about my Bilbrey distant relatives?? Cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. I would love to find out more about this side of my family!! I promise to listen better to your stories than I did my mom's!
