Willis Brumley b. 1790 in NC
I have been searching through the old posts on this forum, and have seen posts about trying to connect Willis Brumley b. 1790 in NC to William Brumley and guessing Willis' father is John Brumley (I think!I've been reading so many posts it's all jumbled up in my mind now!)
I am wondering if anyone has found any proof tying Willis to William, and proof that John is Willis' father?
I've traced my line back to Willis and am stuck there.I've mostly been going by hints and censuses and other people's trees on ancestry.com and now have been searching through Brumley forums.
I've also seen different things about who Willis' wife was.Some hints on ancestry say Sarah Majors.Some say Sallie (Sarah) Starr.I found 1 person who had affidavits posted from when one of Willis' descendants was applying for citizenship to the Cherokee nation, and it stated Willis' wife was Sally Starr whose father was half Cherokee.The story posted said it was from the National Archives.
If anyone has any more information, please let me know!I've replied to a few posts, but they were posted several years ago, so I thought I'd start up a new post.
Thanks,
Lisa
