Was M.E.C. Willis' first name Melvin and did he live in Hancock County? My James A. Willis was born around Aug. 1868 so would that fit the DOB for the son of Mel Willis? I have a cemetery record from Hawkins County Cemeteries, Vol. 2 for "Mel" Willis, civil war vet, brother to Cornelia Willis Horton and buried at Edens Cemetery. Is this the same Mel we are talking about?
