William Greenlee.did not have a wife in the 1850 Union Co Ark census. it was only him and his son William P Greenlee in that census.looks like they had a son Lemuel Greenlee also. he was living in Union Co Ark in 1850, i think that was the year i found him.had a son James in Independence ARk in the 1850 census also. i have not located any Greenlees in Ray Co Missouri prior to Willis L in the 1850 Ray co Missouri Census.Maybe they did not live there during census time.They could have died in Tenn and buried in Ray Co. Missouri.also If Elizabeth Tarwater Greenlees father was ill before he died. maybe from her death.since they died so close together.Noticed that his wife Nancy also died in 1833 from the deaths probably. i would think that the will just didnt get changed.within those few months.so his daughter was still listed in the will.dont think there would be any need to take her off anyways. im glad they didnt omit her.it really helps to have that information. it also shows the parents of Lewis Tarwater as Jacob Tarwater and Modelena Wolford Jacob born 1740 Gemany and died 1798 Knox tenn buried knox tenn Modelena born 1740 Holland and married 1765 Knox Tenn Frances Greenlee
