Additional Comments:
These pages were torn from the Bible many years ago and were in another Bible of
my family on the Jordan side.

B.S. Willis is shown on the St. Joseph Funeral Records 1818-1832 in Baton Rouge
even though he died in 1834 and is shown died 1834 on St. Joseph records.

James Smith was the brother of Catherine Smith wife of William R. Willis and
came south with them, from NJ after the LA Purchase.
