- Gwen Stames of 600 College Street in Madisonville, the daughter of long time Monroe County photographers has a photograph of Louisa -- possibly a family photo. It shows Louisa wearing lot's of rings. The 1870 census shows that Louisa was from Sullivan County, Tennessee, and that her father and grandfather were located in Sullivan County, and that there is an existing will from her grandfather. The 1870 census shows her as 30 years old. The 1880 and 1890 census do not show Louisa or Thomas in Monroe County, but they reappear in the 1900 census. Buried at New Hope Methodist Church on the Monroe/Loudon County, TN. On 9/13/1997, in a telephone conversation with Virgie Richesin Taylor, daughter of Sallie Richardson, grandaughter of Louisa Arterburn, Virgie stated that she remembers her mother stating that Louisa Arterburn 'had some Indian', although there wa s no specific remembrance of where the Indian connection may have originated. Virgie also remembered that her mother, Sallie Richardson Richesin used to speak often of an Uncle Ben Billingsley, which may reinforce the supposition that the wife of James Arterburn Jr., was a Billingsley and not a Sylvester. A written statement made in August of 1961 by Sallie Richardson Richesin states: Before marriage, my mother was Louisa Isabel Arterburn. She had one brother, John Arterburn, one sister Dulcina Arterburn, and was raised near Bristol, Tennessee. Their mother was a Billingsley. She had an Uncle John Billingsley, who lived and die d at age 93 in Stockton Valley, near New Hope Church, also Aunt Pop Talley (Tallent) lived at died at Blue Springs, Tennessee. Also a cousin, Dr. Shipleys wife. My grandmothers name was Billingsley. Manda Richesin Doddy was my mother's first cou sin, his name was Huston Billingsley. Tom Richesin's mother and Tom Etheridge's mother were sisters, both were Wilson's. [1]
