-------------------
MRS. G. FUNSTEN Bilbrey, Rt. 2, 824 N. 5th, Frederick, Okla. 73542, is re
…[missing wording here in the original published story; George H Posey],
born 1827, Louisiana and married first, Nancy (maiden name unknown) [Allen],
born South Carolina. Their children, all born in Cass County, Texas, were
David, Laura, George, John and Robert.  [Records report also Thomas and James,

The Christians [sic] children included Joseph Benjamin, Frances Elizabeth,
Lucinda and Emily, all born in Cass County between 1854 and 1862.  Joseph
Benjamin married Catherine Smith; Lucinda, Larkin Dycus; and Emily, Jason

Their mother, Louisa, married a second time, J. S. Jenkins, March 7, 1872, and

the family farm to Lonzo Hicks.  Family tradition states that there is a
lineage connection to the Hensley family but this has not been proven.
