(b.1831) & his wife Margaret Ann KNIGHT (b.1833). I have no idea who
Willis' parents were, but I suspect he was born in Humphreys or
Hickman Co.. I believe Margaret was the daughter of Joshua Y. KNIGHT
(1809-1871)& first wife Lucretia WILDREDGE (ca.1810-1840). Joshua was
the son of Thomas & Nancy KNIGHT, Lucretia was the daughter of Edmund
& Elizabeth WILDREDGE. Both the KNIGHT & WILDREDGE families lived in
Humphreys Co.. Were Willis (a cobbler by trade)& Margaret married in
Humphreys Co.? On the 1860 census they lived in Dist. 8 in Hickman
Co.. Margaret still lived there in 1870, with children Henry
E.(b.1853), Rufus S.(b.1855), William T. (1856-1947) my g-g gf, &
Elizabeth Asalee (b.1860). I believe Willis died in the C.W.. What
became of Margaret & children after 1870? Did she move back to
Humphreys Co.?, Did she re-marry? (there is a Margaret JONES that
married W.G. BRAMBLETT 5 July 1888 in Humphreys Co.)Any info is
