Addendum:
We also would like any information about Willis ancestors, parents, siblings, cousins, etc. ANYTHING you may have. We would like to have information also about his wife Mary and sons Garrett and John of whom the family had no knowledge of until April 1999. We were able to locate on the internet a document outlining the exchange of a deed between Willis and James Sparkman. Read following:
