From Jean Williams [email protected] :
4 Jan 1874 - RANDOLPH writes letter to granson, Joseph L. Lane. Letter tries to explain how Joseph can get to them if he were to visit. They must've lived (what was then known as) in the swamps. 'Billie Planes Sta.' was abt 10 mi east of Pocahontas. Travelers could take a daily hack from Pocahontas to the station. They lived another 30 miles beyond the Sta. There was no public
transportation to their home except by horse.
Visited Reynolds Cemetery Nov 8 1999 where Randolph & Biddy's monument are located. The cemetery is off Hwy 93 just south of Elm Store in the northern part of Randolph Co., AR. It's on the west side of the highway back on the top of a hill in the middle of a cattle pasture. The cemetery is fenced off & is pretty well kept.

Notes for BIDDY LEWIS:
Biddy's maiden name has remained elusive to those of us researching the family. Vern Eldridge writes that Palmer and Margeret Lane state that they recall Everett saying that his father (Moses) had told him that his mother's maiden name was "Dunn". Others feel that her maiden name might have been "Lewis" or 'Gilliand".
In the 1850 Madison Co., MO census Biddy is not listed in the household of Randolph but she is there in 1860 Liberty Twp., Iron Co, MO - listing her birthplace as from South Carolina.

I am again questioning Biddy's maiden name.
We know she is listed as being from SC, and her children indicate their mother as being from SC. However the only families we find near Randolph who are from SC are the Dunns. With brother (?) John, in 1850, is his father-in-law Robert Gilliland, who is listed as being from SC. And next to Robert is his son William, b 1805, listed as being from TN. I'm going back to my original belief that Biddy is a Dunn, and I suspect she is the daughter of Mary Dunn. I realize Mary would have been about fourteen when Biddy was born. What's your thoughts on this?
