    1. Re: WILLIS-D Digest V01 #25
    2. This seems like a good time to post the info on my grandfather again. My grandfather was William WILLIS from Carrollton, Ky. I'm not sure where he was born, but I have the obituary of his father who was also called William WILLIS & it said his father was long time resident of Carrollton, Ky,so I assume my grandfather William (his son) was born in Carrollton, Ky. The obituary said the older William had 5 children. they were: William WILLIS (Carrollton, Ky) (my grandfather), Nannie (WILLIS) CARTER (Worthville,Ky), Humphrey WILLIS (Ohio), Minnie (WILLIS) BROWN (Prestonville, Ky), & Mrs. Albert (WILLIS) COLLINS (Carrollton, Ky),(no first name givin). My grandfather William married Minnie WHEELER from Carrollton, Ky (not to be confused with his sister Minnie). I think my grandfather William was born about 1872/73 & died about 1925, but these dates could be wrong. I know my mother was a young child when he died, so I never knew him. The older William WILLIS (my grandfather's father) had a half sister named Tisha BARTON according to the obituary. My grandfather William & grandmother Minnie had 5 daughters. They were: Muriel (WILLIS) FLOYD (my mother), Edith (WILLIS) WOODS, Flossie (WILLIS) BROCK, Wilhelmina (WILLIS) WILSON, & Rose (WILLIS) BAINBRIDGE. This is all the info I have on my grandfather William WILLIS & my g-grandfather William WILLIS. If anyone can relate to any of these names please e-mail me. I would appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks Pat
