While in Salt Lake City at the FHL in October, I came across a book on the Quillin Family. It is entitled "We Passed This Way", by Malcolm Hudson, 1968. It is mostly about the Quillins who settled in Arkansas, but does give ancestors back to Teague III. I found it very helpful as I found my ggrandmother in it.

Am interested in this book and the mention of the Quillens who went to Arkansas. Believe my ancestor, Rebecca Anderson who married John Anderson 26 Sept. 1822 in Lawrence County, IN, was the eldest child listed often as unknown daughter of William Quillen b. 1753 prob VA. Many researchers believe Rebecca was a Whitehead as several of the Anderson siblings married into the Whitehead Family and they married into the Andersons.

What caught my eye is that after 1867 Rebecca and John left IN and went with their daughter, Mary Ann who married a Davis, to Arkansas wehre it is believed that Rebecca died. This area is Prairie Co., Arkansas. John then went to KS with the Davis family. The Daivis family travelled back and forth from Arkanas to KS and back again.

I would really to like to tie Rebecca in more so with the Quillens of IN. I am positive the John Anderson who married Rebecca is my ancestor and that his Rebecca Catherine's maiden name was Quillen.

Also, the 1840 Census Boone County, IN, has these names in order:
Quillin, James
Andersn, John
Parton, Seth
Quillin, Elijah

Any suggestions, ideas, and/or help greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
