Information from: Barbara Waldrop
Mildred Gibson Willis Bull Phelps was an ancestor of most of the many people
of Monroe County who are Willis descendants. She was a daughter of John
Gibson who died in
1827 in Wilkes County Georgia and his wife Mildred (Millie) Holladay Gibson.
Her first husband was George Willis who died 1816 in Wilkes County Georgia.
He was a son of James Willis of Virginia who died 1813 in Wilkes County and
his first wife Ann/Nancy.
They had sons:
Owen J willis,
George A Willis,
John G Willis
Mildred Gibson Willis married 2nd William H Bull (he is buried in the Carlton-Bull
Cemetery Mildred married William H Bull 1818 in Wilkes County and they had several
children who lived to adulthood.
Mildred Gibson Willis Bull married 3rd Acquilla Phelps
Matilda Gibson (Mildred's sister) married 1st David Allison who was guardian
of Mildred's three Willis sons. Matilda, who was Mildred's sister, married 3
more times. Matilda was
married last to James Lamar
Children in the cemetery are said to be a child of Mildred and William Bull
and a Bryant child. I don't know who the Bryant child could be.
One of Mildred's sons, John Gibson
Willis b 10 Jun 1810 Wilkes County, GA had a daughter by his second wife who
married a Bryant. Could this Bryant child be Mildred's Great Grandchild? [I
have Mary Lena Willis m. Hiram J. Bryant in Butts Co., GA but no date. Mary
Lena was b. 1874]
