• Notes

  Notarized by E.H. Lawhon in Williamson Co. on March 5, 1931: My name is J. B. wills. I live at Taylor in Williamson County, Texas; I was born in Milam County, Texas; I am now 74 years of age. I am a nephew of William Wills and his wife, Saluda E. Wills. William Wills and wife settled in Bell County, Texas, near where the town of Holland, Bell county, Texas, now stands; they located there, I think in 1848, or thereabouts. I was about 8 years old during the war. I remember that William Wills joined the confederate Army, or at least that was my understanding at that time, and served during the war between the States of the United States from 1861 to 1865. I do not remember now what year he went into the Confederate Army, nor do I remember what year he came back from the Army, but I do know, from conversations I have heard between my father and William Wills that they each served in the Confederate Army. My father was a brother of William Wills and his name was J. W. Wills (this name is handwritten) Wills (is marked through with ink). I do not remember now in what Company William Wills served as it has been so long ago that I just did not charge my memory with that. I know all of the above to be facts from personal knowledge. (And is signed J. B. Wills.) (Medical):also had a strep infection
