      Looking for information on two families--WILLS and NOEL. Great-great grandfather, Billy WILLS, and great-great grandmother, Salauda WILLS, born in Mississippi around 1855. Son, Oliver WILLS, was born June 10, 1875 in either Mississippi or Bell Co. Texas He married Plum GARNER, born 12/30/1873 in Bell Co. They had my grandfather, Waldon WILLS in Bell Co. on 3/31/1901. He later moved to Scurry Co., Texas and married Ila Mae NOEL. My great grandfather, G. W. NOEL, was born in Roanoke, Alabama in 1875 and walked to Bell Co. from Alabama as a teenager. He married Piety SNEED of Bell Co. She was born in 1877. They had a daughter, Ila Mae NOEL, on May 20, 1903. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
