Edward Billups 
Edward was born in 1735 in Matthews County,Virginia. Edward's father was Joseph Billups and his mother was Margaret Lilly. His paternal grandparents were John Billups and Mary Glassock; his maternal grandparents were John Lilly and Elizabeth Billups. He was an only child. He died at the age of 87 on September 9th, 1822 in Montgomery County,Virginia.General Notes
He was born in Kingston Parish, but moved with his parents to Lunenburg County in 1751. It was here that Edward served as a Lieutenant in the Lunenburg County Militia during the American Revolution. The family may have also lived briefly in Crawford County, Ohio (ca.1760). Edward was married first to Sarah Casey (1737-1795) in 1756. His second marriage was to Mary Howell (Norvell) on 27 August, 1796. Edwardus children are listed below; however, the mother of the last four children has not been proven. They were probably all the children of Sarah. Edward must have moved at least three times X to Ohio, back to Franklin County and/or Botetourt County, and finally to Montgomery County, where he died in 1822. *******WILL IN CABELL CO?
