Hi Helen
Willis I Roan,s sister Nancy Bennett was my gg grandmother.
Willis died 29 Jan 1955 at Roans Prarie TX. I think he is buried in the Roans Prarie cemetery. I think that he gave his slaves, at least about 100, to Nancy in 1853 or 1854.
She had 7 slaves on the 1853 tax list and 107 on the 1854 list. There should be some record of that transfer in Grimes County. Unfortunately I don't have anything with names of the slaves. If you find out anything on this please let me know.
