  Data from Mrs. Mildren Roden desc. of Hosea Bilyeu Isaac
  Bilyeu died about the close of or just after th Civil War
  ended in Carroll County, ARkansas. He was living at the
  head of Big Indian Creed, now know as Woods Spring. He and
  wife and son Jacob Bilyeu were all buried there near teh
  spring, in Carroll County Ar. Isaac Bilyeu was living in
  Overton County Tn as early as 1812 when he joined the army
  there.  Isaac Bilyeu vol. in Bradley's 1st reg. of Tn in
  the War with the Creek Indians in 1812. John Bilyeu
  (1775-1853) who died in Miller Co. MO in 1853 and Willima
  Bilyeu who moved from Miller Conty MO to Oregon sonn after
  1850 also served in the same reg.  William Bilyeu was the
  only one to apply for bounty land on his service record.
  
  Isaac Bilyeu and family are listed on census for Overton
  Co. Tn 1820, Sagamon Co. ILL 1830, Miller Co. MO 1840,
  Taney Co. Mo 1850. In 1860 Isaac Bilyeu age 80 born in PA
  is listed on Carroll County Ark Prairie TWP census in
  household of son Stephen Bilyer age 34 born in KY.  The
  1850 census has Isaac Bilyeu's birth in VA.
  
  The family fo Isaac Bilyeu left Tennessee soon after or
  about 1825. They may have resided in KY for a short time
  when Stephen was born or the census record could be an
  error.  About 1829 they moved to Sagamon Co. ILL. Very sonn
  they moved to Miller Co. MO.  They were living in Carroll
  County AR in 1838.  I believe the family of John Witten
  Bilyeu remained in Miller Co. Mo. along with others of the
  family.
  
  Our Isaac Bilyeu may have been a desc. of Pierre Bilyeu
  (born about 1625/30 in France died in NY) who emigrated
  from Holland, May 9 1661, in the ship St. Jan Baptiste. The
  four children are listed as age 9, 7, 6, and 2 1/2. A fifth
  child was born at sea and was baptized four days after
  landing on Aug 10 1661 at the Ducth Reformed Church, New
  Amsterdam.  That child was named Isaac Bilyeu.  This Isaac
  was likely the only male issue of Pierre to have a viable
  line of descent. Isaac Bilyeu had male heirs named Jacob,
  John, Peter, Lucas, Daniel, and Isaac.
