Notes:

Lived in Allen County KY, on Bays Fork Creek.

There is a large Willoughby graveyard on this farm. Elizabeth is buried there, as are many of the children and grandchildren. Vinson is buried across the creek in her (Elizabeth's) family's graveyard. The story is they were visiting her family when he died suddenly; the creek was "up" because of the spring rains and they could not get to the Willoughby farm.
