WILLIAM BILLINGTON of AR, KY, TN

Wow, just re-discovered this site. Yes, I do have some additional info, just have had little time to work on it. Sharon and I have swapped info about a year ago. My wife's g-uncle (Elmer BILLINGTON) is still alive and I am way over due for a trip down to see him. His parents were Leroy Phillip Billington/Martha Jane Boring. I have photos of their headstone in Brazoria co., TX. I do have things jumbled still, between This leroy and William Gordon BILLINGTON, of Izard Co, AR.Uncle Elmer tells of William Gorden purchasing the farm in Izard Co from a Col. Hawkins sometime around the Civil War period (before/during). William and his oldest son were attacked by "Gangsters" just a few miles from home, while returning from the war. The son was kill and later buried on the farm.
Just thought I'd pass this story on and see if anyone else had heard it.
