    3. Looking for info on Willis Brown and wife Mary that shows up in the 1870 Henry Co. census. In 1850, 1860 they are in Dale County. In 1870, Willis is 52, SC; wife Mary 42 SC; children: William 20 Al; John 18 AL; Lucinda 17 AL; Mather 13 AL; James 12 AL; Vicy 9 AL; Mary 7 AL; Sarah 8 AL; and Mary Campbell 75 SC. In 1880 they are not listed. I think that the son John W is my gggrandfather who was married to Julia Ann Messer. In the Piney Grove cemetery is a Willie and Mary whose birth dates are questioned by the person who listed the cemetery. Willis was born ca 1818 by census records and the Willie in the cemetery was listed as born in 1813 (could possibly be 1818) d. 1880; Mary listed as born ca 1828 by census d. 1874, cemetery lister says 1826 but could be 1828. Since my John W and his wife, Julia Ann are also buried in this cemetery and so is a son of theirs (John H), I'm really thinking that Willie/Willis are the same and Mary/Mary are the same ones I am looking for. If these are the same, it would be reason for no listing in 1880 cenus. Anyone who could shed some light on this would really be a big help!
