John Alexander Willis - Rachel East - Dolty - Lee Edward
Posted by: Billy Graham (ID *****0828) Date: October 22, 2009 at 18:58:40
of 7822


Still looking for the parents of John Alexander WIllis born about 1855 in Mississippi and died in 1942, his wife Rachel East had about 12 different first names Inthia, Tynthia and others, their children Dolty, Lee Edward, Ellie (Elly) May, Soltice, Sterling, Fred and Bradley "Brink" Willis. Part of this family line is also Wright's - Graham's - Stewart's - Steen's - Van Sickle's. I believe that John was into to horse racing ang had his own track or maybe his father did. I know his father was killed in the Civil War. I know his father married and Unknown Merchant and she had a nickname of Nana. Any help appreciated. Also visit the website I am building www.bgrahams.com and emails are bgrahams@gmail.com and www.bgrahams.com - THANKS
