James Bowie

Joseph Willis and James "Jim" Bowie

Jim Bowie was a neighbor of Joseph Willis when they both lived near Bayou Chicot. Jim’s brother, Rezin Bowie, was a neighbor to Joseph’s eldest son Agerton Willis and eldest grandson, Daniel Hubbard Willis Sr., for four years (1824-1827) in the village of Bayou Boeuf. The name changed to Holmesville in 1834, and is located near present-day Eola. It was at Holmesville, on Bayou Boeuf, that Edwin Epps enslaved (1845-1853) Solomon Northup for the last eight years of his twelve year indenture. It was here that Joseph’s eldest son and Randy Willis's 3rd great-grandfather Agerton Willis met and married Sophie Story.
