Tenn. Tom's cousin George C. Dotson was married there on July 25th 1832. George C. moved to Dickson Co. & Tom moved to Humphreys County. I thought Susie's middle name was "Anne" its's actually "Emma" She was born in Dickson County abt. 1834 I located a Will for a "William Willey": sealed October 2nd, 1850 ...."bequeath to my children and the children which my wife had by her first husband..... and to share alike the children of James and [crossed out] Wright; and Sally Jean to represent their parents in this my Will. ...appoint Isaac Wright my step son and James W. Evans my son in law as my executors to my Will. (signed) William Willey Dickson County Court October Term 1865 Last Will Testiment of William Willey deceased note* I would assume this to be Wiliam D. Willey; because of the year that it was sent to probate court . Although their seems to be another "William Willey" in Dickson Co. husband to Nancy. But W.D. Willey's wife was Joanirah "Joanna" Street. Too bad the Will did not give his wifes name Hope this info. helps!
