Willis

b. circa 1863
  • Mother: Milly b. circa 1842
  • Willis was born circa 1863 in Texas.
  • Following emancipation, Willis adopted the name Willis Westmoreland although he is listed as Willis Wood in the 1870 census..
  • Tom and Milly appeared in the US federal census of 1 June 1870 in Danville PO, Montgomery County, Texas. Other members of the household included Willis, Hannah, John and Billy Jackson.
  • It is not clear whether Hannah and John were the children of Tom or of Milly. There is evidence that Willis, born later, was Tom's step-son, so it is an educated guess that they were Milly's children, born prior to their 1866 marriage.
  • Tom and Milly appeared in the US federal census of 1 June 1880 in Montgomery County, Texas. Other members of the household included Willis, Billy Jackson, Jackson Jackson, Rhoda Jackson and Sarah Jackson.
