Mrs. Mary E. Billingsley: Pioneer Mother
By Maude Wallis Traylor.
"My mother was Maria Kenney, born in Ireland, August 15, 1831, and was the daughter of Michael and Mary Kenney. She married John O'Neal in Ireland, and they immediately sailed for America. John O'Neal carried a large sum of money in a belt around his waist and in some way this fact became known. During the voyage he was suddenly missing, and his wife knew he had been murdered for his money and thrown overboard, by she was too young and helpless to do anything about it. She landed at New Orleans, a stranger in a new land, without funds, but knowing how to do fine sewing and make exquisite laces, she soon found employment and made friends. Later she came to Texas, where she met and married my father Edwin Turner, December 27, 1854. Father died during the first year of the Civil War. Mother was married for the third time, in 1865, to Mr. Wade Hampton Dixon, and they lived in Bastrop, rearing a family there."
