A big welcome to another cousin in the family.This Twilley project is really rolling for me now.Shug was my ggrandfather.In answer to your question about "Buddy", his name was James Jackson Greenberry Twilley.He was Shug and John Wesley's brother.Buddy was also married to Lucy Jane Dudley after his brother John Wesley died.Lucy was Buddy's 3rd wife.
W R Twilley was first married to Priscilla Terry and at the age of 47 hanged herself.The family story is that she weaved a rope of cotton ffrom her own fields to commit the suicide.W R then married Priscilla's sister Mary Jane Terry Langford in 1875.To the best of my knowledge, each had a set of children but none between them.Mary Jane has been listed as Jane and Jane Marie in the research I have done.Thanks to one of our fellow cousins, I have a copy of the DAR application you mention.This has gotten me back to the mid 1600's now but I am at a stand still from there.We will be having a TWILLEY Reunion in May if you are interested, I'll let you know the details.
