Long story. But these are excellent genealogist. They gained trust in me and added our Quillins to the Lawson story. Rebecca Lawson married John Quillin, Ira’s dad. Originally, they had Rebecca linked to The Scottish Rebel. One family researcher spent days in Scotland and uncovered actual documents detailing our ‘true’ William Lawson.

now defunct, was a huge database of Quillin family tree, my family included

An original database called geocities couldn’t make the transition to new technology. Reocities tried to save many of the large databases, now defunct also.

Family Group Sheets for B.J.'s daughter Cathleen "Corintha" Melvina Quillin

Many genealogists confuse Cathleen's situation, and many trees reflect incorrect information. I have FIRSTHAND CORRECT KNOWLEDGE of this daughter from her illegitimate son, B. M. Quillin. He was a loving kind man that was raised by B.J. and Polly Quillin. (see my earlier tribute to B.M.) They are the ones that gave B. M. the Quillin name. Since Cathleen's first two children lived with B.J., many people think they are B.J.'s biological children. Cathleen did later marry a man named Thomas Bagby. Therefore, there are two group sheets for Cathleen. 

Pedigree Chart for my Great Great Grandfather Ira D. Quillin

 I'm a descendant of Ira's son, Beverly Johnson Quillin. 

Family group for B.J.'s daughter, Margaret "Maggie" Edna Quillin

 Maggie and Joel Moses had 10 children. My folks often referred to them fondly as 'the Moses Clan'. They lived for a while in B.J.'s hotel in 1910 in Haskell, Texas. After the Moses clan moved to Pampa, Texas, in the 1930s, Daddy (Truman B Quillin, Sr.) and his dad (Paul Bryan Quillin) lived with them for a while in order to find work. It was a happy time for Daddy as he remembers the "pickin' and grinin'" as people would gather on the Moses's porch to sing and pick guitars. Daddy remembers Bob Wills joining them on occasion. There are so many members of the family that the group sheet had to condense in size to print. I apologize for the blurred image. 

Family Group Sheet Beverly Johnson Quillin

At this point, I have worked my way through my 4 great grandparents. I'm sure there will be additional pieces of their history that I will find and will certainly post more about them, as I have amassed a huge amount of information in my genealogy files. But for now, I will begin again at the top of my pedigree chart with Ira D. Quillin. 

Before I leave Beverly Johnson Quillin, I will post several family group sheets for his family.
