Seeking information on my Great-great grandfather Rev. Daniel Hubbard Willis, Sr. (Rev. Joseph Willis' grandson and Agerton Willis' son) Contact Randy Willis www.randywillis.org randy@randywillis.org Rev. Daniel Hubbard Willis, Sr. (b. Dec. 28,1817; d. Mar. 27, 1887) was my great-great-grandfather. He was the son of Agerton Willis and Sophie Story Willis and the grandson of Rev. Joseph Willis and Rachel Bradford Willis. He was born on Bayou Boeuf, in Louisiana. He married Anna Slaughter (b. May 29, 1820 d. Mar. 24, 1876) on March 15, 1838 in La. Both are buried at the Amiable Baptist Church Cemetery near Glenmora, La. Their children were: Daniel Hubbard Willis, Jr. (1839-1900), Eliza Willis Flowers (1842-1901), Mary Jane Willis (b. circa 1845), David Willis (b. circa 1846), Martha Willis (b. circa 1847), Matthew Willis (1848-1925), Dempsey Willis (1854-1919), Calvin Willis (1855-1911), and Robert Willis (1858-1939). He was the first of Rev. Joseph Willis' many descendants to follow him into the ministry. Daniel was called by W.E. Paxton's in "A History of the Baptist of Louisiana, from the Earliest Times to the Present" (1888) "…one of the most respected ministers in the Louisiana Association." He established many churches and was blind the last 22-years of his life. His daughter would read the scriptures and he would preach. He was pastor of Amiable and Spring Hill Baptist Churches for many years. The Louisiana Association minutes record, in 1856, that: "Elder D.H. Willis was a missionary in the Western part of the Association at the rate of $400 per year. Although in ill health he 'traveled 1840 miles, preached 84 sermons, delivered 44 exhortations, visited 115 families, baptized 19, restored 2, settled one difficulty, started 3 prayer meetings, and one Sabbath School, preached at 21 different places...'" He settled on Spring Creek near Long Leaf, La. at a community called Babb’s Bridge. His daughter-in-law, Julia Ann Graham Willis, said he was the best man she every knew.

Sarah BENGE - lived in Jasper Co., MS > AR Henry B. SMITH b. 1821 MS m. Nancy J - lived in Attala Co., MS > AR Martha SMITH b. 1824 MS m. M F BEARD - lived in Newton Co., MS These children were orphaned ca. 1830 and the girls were raised under the "tuterlage of their maternal aunt, wife of ex Gov John J. McRAE". I originally thought these children were the nieces and nephews of Mary Annette BURGE McGUIRE McRAE, wife of Gov. John J. McRAE, but recent information leads me to believe they may have been related to John J. McRAE insted. In 1850 and 1860 there was a William B. SMITH wife Elizabeth McRAE living in Clarke Co., MS, she was the cousin of Gov. John J. McRAE. Her mother was a BOOTH and father a McRAE. She was related to the BROWNs in that area and the BELTs in the Mobile area. There is also a Billy BRADFORD.

General John Willis by Randy Willis www.randywillis.org randy@randywillis.org John Willis was born circa 1759, in Robeson County, North Carolina, and died in April, 1802. He was the son of Daniel Willis and Elizabeth (Betsy) Moore. John Willis married, Asenath Barnes, in 1779 (she was born in 1763, NC; died 1806, Natchez, Ms). John Willis, helped emancipate, his first-cousin and my ancestor, Rev. Joseph Willis (see http://www.randywillis.org/) of Rapides Parish, Louisiana. John Willis became a member of the General Assembly of North Carolina in 1782, 1787, 1789 and 1791, a member of the Senate in 1794, and of the House of Representatives in 1795. In the same year that he helped obtain Joseph Willis' "legal freedom," 1787, he was appointed as one of a committee of five, from North Carolina, to ratify the Constitution of the United States. This was done just in time for North Carolina to enter the Union, as the twelfth state, and to assist in the election of Gen. George Washington as the first President. In 1795, Governor Samuel Ashe commissioned John Willis as a Brigadier General in the 4th Brigade of the Militia, Continental Army. The land that the county seat of Robeson County, Lumberton, North Carolina is located on was donated by him, from his Red Bluff Plantation. The area, in recent years, has become infamous as the location for the trial of the men responsible for the death of the father of basketball star Michael Jordon. A plaque of General John Willis stands there today. Gen. John Willis moved to Natchez, Mississippi, from North Carolina, in about 1800 and died soon thereafter, in 1802. He is buried behind the Natchez Cathedral. He also had a son named John (see children below).
