Dianne, I think I may have sent you this before, but I hve Willis Stancil on a list of members of Antioch Baptist Church (1857-1889). The church is in Pickens Co on Hwy 11 not too far from Hwy 178. The list only shows the names that the person was resesarching. Gant's, Chappell, Dodgen and Stancil. The other Stancil's on the list are: Jesse, Hamilton, Ibby, Reany, Anna, Mary, and Sarah A. Perhaps one of the Universities has the records for this church and you may find more info about him there. My ggg-aunt, Zelia Ann Gantt (dau of Martin Gantt and Sarah Thomasson) married a William Stancil prob in Pickens Co. They had one son, William Lee Stancil b.16 Jan 1869-Pickens Co, SC, mar Julia Washington Lewis; d. 29 Nov 1965-Little Rock, Pulaski, AR; bur Pinecrest Cemetery, Collegeville, AR (this may be in Pulaski Co, AR.) There isan interview with Lee when he was 96 years old in the book and he says that his father died in a hunting accident not long after he was born. It also lists his children, but no dates for them. This information comes from a book, "Pleasant Grove Families (Saline County, Arkansas) Recollections of A Church, A Cemetery, A Community of the Past" by Carolyn Earle Billingsley. Carolyn is a 3rd cousin of mine on the Gantt line. There is quite a bit of information on the Martin Gantt family who migrated to Saline Co, AR and the Dodgen and Chappell family. Terrissa Gantt was married to Joseph Chappell-parents of William Martin "Fiddler Bill" Chappell. Patricia A. Cantrell Columbus, GA PACA1509@aol.com pacant1104@hotmail.com
