-------------------
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, born between David and Laura.] His second marriage was to Frances Elizabeth Christian in 1877. They had six children and he disappeared in 1889.
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 Forsyth.
Their mother, Louisa, married a second time, J. S. Jenkins, March 7, 1872, and had one son, Henry. After her death in 1900, Joseph Benjamin Christian sold 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.
