Family lore:
"Grandpa Wills was a "southern gentleman" from a wealthy family. He joined the Confederate Army and was taken prisoner. While in prison, he met William Senn, also a Confederate prisoner. When the men were released, they traveled together to Texas. Alex's father left all his lands to him when he died. "lying and being situated in Lleno County of the waters of the Lleno River about 90 miles on S. E. of the San Sabe Fort, known as Survey No 39, District No 10". But Alex loved to gamble. He lost most of it gambling. He was married and his wife sold what was left of the ranch and bought a rooming house near a RR track in Bartlett. Her business flourished."
Lived to the south of his father.
Died at Sarah's house.

Notes:
His patent in Fayette County, Alabama, was located northeast of Vernon, actually in Lamar County. It straddled Reedy Creek and Yellow Creek, just south of Boman Road, almost centered on the joining of these two creeks, and extending past Yellow Creek Road in the southeast and Beaver Creek Road in the northwest. I don't believe he ever lived at this property and probably sold it or traded it for the property in Texas.
