Mrs. Mary E. Billingsley: Pioneer Mother
By Maude Wallis Traylor.
-
It was said of Mrs. Mary E. Billingsley when she was alive, that "she can recite enough Texas history and tradition offhanded, in one hour, as to keep a reputable genealogist and an amateur historian very busy two whole years, tracing, connecting, proving, and recording same." Mrs. Billingsley, or "Cousin Mary", as she was affectionately known to a large connection of relatives, could show a pioneer lineage that would make one just a little envious, and had documentary proof of three of her father's Mayflower ancestors, Captain Myles Standish, Edward Doty, and James Rogers. She also has proof of her direct descent from Humphrey Turner, who came from England and settled in Plymouth in 1628. Her folks came to Texas in two large wagon trains, one in 1827, settling in Stephen Austin's Colony on the Colorado River, and the other in December, 1829, settling in Green DeWitt's Colony; and there were so many of them their land grants spread out all the way through Travis, Bastrop, Gonzales, Guadalupe, Lavaca, Jackson, and Victoria counties. "Cousin Mary" was born in 1856, the only child of Edwin Turner by his wife Mariah (O'Neal) Turner. This is her excellent and colorful story. It is fascinating genealogy of the Turner and Billingsley families.
