There are other Headen/Hayden/Hadens who appear in connection with
Priscilla. These are Samuel Headen (married to Lydia Bush and Mary
Norwood)who assisted her in the estate settlement and who became
guardian of her twoyounger girls. Barshaba who was also helped by Samuel
when her husband,
Samuel Hamby died. ( married in Clarke Co., Ga in 1807.) Barshaba gave
Allen Headen of St. Tammary Par., La Power of Att. in 1814, to recover
themonies and goods owed to her husband as a result of his service to
hiscountry. This AllenHeaden, I believe to be the husband and cousin of
Priscilla Headen (not mine), daughter of William and Jane Headen of
Jackson Co., GA. Priscilla named her daughter by Cherry, Rebecca Barshaba
(spelledin the same way as the other Barshaba).
I know that the William Headen family of Jackson Co., Ga are relatedto
these folks but I just don't know exactly how. Can anyone help?
.He married 1st to Lydia Bush, daughter of Daniel and Elizabeth Bush. She
died and Samuelmarried Mary Norwood in 1817. He had a son Daniel Bush
Headen who witnessed aDeed of Gift in 1818 of Dr. Joseph Murdoch in
Franklin Co. Dr. Murdochwas married to Priscilla Headen. She married
after Joseph's death in 1823 inHabersham Co. to David C. Cherry. Samuel
Headen had several dealings with a BarsahbaHeaden Hamby. She married
Samuel Hamby in Clarke Co. in 1807. I think that Samuel. Priscilla and
Barshaba may be brother and sisters but do not knowfor sure.

From Johnson Co. Texas Biographies :
Christopher Billingsley camewith his father, James Jefferson (Jim)
BillingsIey, to Alvarado in 1853 withhis wife Lavesta Ann (Brown)
BillingsIey. Christopher and Lavesta had six children: Mark, Granvil,
Edmonston, Ruth Ann (born in Arkansas); Burr and JamesThomas (born in
Missouri). Prior to becoming permanent settler of Alvarado,Christopher
BillingsIey, while living in Missouri in the year 1849, went to
California for the "Gold Rush", and spent two years there. He returned to
Missouri, and made up a caravan to return with his family. They got as
far asthe Black Hillls and Pike's Peak. Because of the Indians, they
turned back and settled northeast of Alavarado in 1853 becoming one of
the founders of Johnson County. He later bought six hundred and forty
acres south of Alvardo where they lived for many years.
One morning while two of the sons, Jim and Burr,were out hunting
their saddle horses, they came upon a small boy asleep and lostHehad
become separated from a train of wagons traveling and could notfind
them. Jim put the boy on his horse and took him home with them. The boy
didnot know his name, and no one ever called for him. They called him
Jake.
Christopher Billingsley was a farmer and great man to go and settle new
country to help blaze the path of civilization, to leave what he had
marked out for the younger generation to finish what he had begun.
