This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: WILLIS, COLE Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/RAB.2ACI/2893 Message Board Post: I'm attempting to trace out my father's family line. I've gotten back as far as his grandfather: Oliver Garnet WILLIS, born May 13, 1834 in Adair (or Cumberland Co.) KY; he moved with 11 of his children and wife Martha Ann COLE to central TX about 1886. I have fairly good information on the line from then on, but have been unable to trace his ancestral line. It seems likely that he was related to William WILLIS, the Revolutionaly War soldier who moved from VA to Adair Co. to take up a land grant. Can anyone help me establish some connection here? Many thanks, Dr. David L. Willis -- dewillis@viclink.com
