Greetings with much gratitude from a gr.gr.grandchild of G.W.Willard and wife Mary E. Wexler Willard for all the blood, sweat, and tears for all your collective efforts in making the Sullivan County TNGen website so thorough! I hope to walk the field and cemetery above one day. Since this cemetery is named for my Willard family, might they have been the owners of the land on which the cemetery is today? The setting looks serene and lovely. I am joyous to tears in discovering this today.
