Hi Jennifer! I posted Census information for BIBB Co. @ the Georgia Root Diggers! Hope this helps & that you've been making progress on your search for Willis T!:-)
I spent a little time on the internet and found thatAncestry lists Julia Johnson as marrying Willis Hancock in Bibb County, Georgia; so there should be more information about both of them on Ancestry.
I found a listing for Willis Hancock as a private in the 59th Georgia Infantry Regiment, Lockett Volunteers of Bibb County on May 16, 1862 with the comment "appears only on roll for June 165, 1862." (http://www.geocities.com/confederate_cause/Muster-Roll-59th-GA-Inf-CompanyK.htm)

His headstone confirms that he was a member of the 59th Georgia Regiment. The church may have some documentation.

Hi Jennifer. I'm wondering where your Chambers line is from. So far, I have traced mine back to Florida. They are actually my husband's family. I'd like to know if we can connect through them.
