I'm looking for John Killion born 1842 Claiborne County, TN. He is on the 1900, 1910 Boston TWP, Madison County censuses. It appears he married a Margaret "Green" about 1890 in Arkansas. I'd like to have cemetery, marriage look ups if possible. Also looking for children, Henry, Hugh, William F., Sarah A., Amanda Bernetta.

Hi,
I live in Madison County, Arkansas, and work with the Historical Society. Plus my aunt's grandmother was Amanda Killion, and I've seen a Killion Bible and gotten information from it.

Contact me and I'll try and provide you with whatever information you need.

Joy,

Our lines might not be the same, but I appreciate any help you might provide me. I want to finish off his family as truthfully as I can.
The John Killion I am looking for was born 1842 Claiborne County, TN., son of James and Anna Peck Killion. He is no blood relation to me, but his children with Esther "Easter, Hetty, Hattie" Ann Corbin b. 1838 Claiborne County would be very distant cousins. He raised 3 of her Evans children, Martha A, William Riley and Alfred Caloway and had at least four children with her, Sarah A, Eliza, Amanda Bernetta, Sterling G., before her death in 1882 Claiborne County. I've found Sterling G. single 40 on the 1910 census in Oregon I believe, but never again. There is a Killion grandchild living with a Morris family in 1920 Oregon. There is a William F. Killion attributed to her, but he was born in 10/1893, not really a possibility since according to church records she died 6/1882. Plus on the 1900 census he claims 4 marriages.
If I have the right one, he was married to Mahala McBee, Esther Corbin Evans, Unknown mother of William and Margaret Green in Arkansas.
There is a William F Killion on the 1900 and 1910 Madison County Census near John Killion and Margaret who in 1900 had been married 10 years. Supposedly he came to Arkansas to be with some of his brothers.
