He was the brother of Elizabeth and Susan. Thomas was living in Lowndes County when Willis' estate was settled in Union Parish, LA. The probate papers stated that he and Elizabeth McQueen were residents of Alabama. Evidently Susan went back to Lowndes County after her father's death. The way the probate papers read, she was in LA at the time of his death.
