Barbara,
I'm Toby Jean Manker and a descendant of Benjamin Sollers Cecil through his
son (not absolutely proven) who moved to Arkansas. Joseph married Margaret
Buttram. Others believe she was Margaret Penn, but I believe I have proof
that she was a Buttram. Census records and family information are all I
have at this time from Arkansas, but I believe that they had a son, Martin
L. Cecil who married Salina Harp. My line comes down through a marriage of
Martin and Salina's daughter, Susan Elizabeth Cecil' marriage to Jacob
Marion Bilyeu.
Does any of this sound familiar to you?? Do you have proof of Benjamin
Sollers Cecil's children? Do you have a Joseph among them? I know that
Benjamin Sollers Cecil, Jr. was in Arkansas at the same time as Joseph was.
I am Harp, Bilyeu and Cecil on my mother's side.
By the way, my my gggrandfather was John Witten Bilyeu.
I too have had the experience of posting things that got integrated into
other people's trees without giving credit. I like to find sources for my
information before I publish it. I have collected enough hearsay for now.
I'm also so very busy now that it's difficult to keep up my research.

I am a Cecil descendant. My surname is Cecil and I would love to

Is there any other way I can view it?
Thanks
Hi Connie -
Sure, I can sign you on as a guest and you will be under no obligation to
join
Ancestry.com. Could you tell me a little about yourself first?
Unfortunately I've had a couple of hit-and-run "guests" who copied some of
my stories
(incomplete, incorrect, and without documentation) and those stories have
shown up later on other folk's websites. :-{
Where do you fit into the Cecil tree? My husband's line goes back to
Benjamin Sollers Cecil's son Thomas who moved from Kentucky to Tennessee.
The last
Cecil we would have had in Virginia would be Samuel (1719 - 1786).
If you're not a member of Ancestry, may I ask how you heard of my
(actually,
my husband's) tree?
Take care -
Barbara Cecil
Houston, Texas
