Clarissa,
I hope your email is still good.I have a few questions:
1.Is there any info on Willis' father in the letter.His parents, siblings?
2.Does the letter mention anything about Willis' first wife Sarah Gainey being killed by slaves?This story has me curious as to why they felt the need to kill her.I have heard several comment about this story but no one seems to have a source.It would be interesting to know the facts of what happened.
Through DNA testing, my GG grandfather is a perfect match with Willis West but there is still a missing link as to how.I suspect that he is probably related to a brother of Willis' father James.
Hope to hear from you,
Best Regards,
Mary
