Billys Branch

Billys Branch (also known as Billy Branch) is a stream in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1]

BiIly's Branch, a creek between Macon and La Porte, Macon Co., was named after William Blackwell, pioneer of the county. It was so named because in cutting down a bee tree, the tree fell and crippled his dog.

Billys Branch was named after an unknown person with the first name Billy.[2]
