Just discovered this site as I was looking for any information I could find on my ancestor, Lutetia Willis Howel. She was my great-great-great grandmother and I have some of her letters written from Johnson County, AR during the Civil War. The information you had regarding her has her name misspelled. She was the great-granddaughter of Britton Willis of Muhlenburg County, Kentucky. He was a veteran of the Revolutionary War, having fought in the southern campaigns in the Carolinas, AL and Georgia. He was at the battle of Savannah and fought with the French and in the battle against the Cherokee Nation. I discovered this info. when I saw on her tombstone at Mt. Holly Cemetery in Little Rock, AR that she was born in Muhlenburg, KY. I had always heard from my grandmother that they had come from KY in the 1830's to AR and she even had two pieces of furniture that had been in the wagon journey. My sister and I have the coin silverware that was buried when the Jayhawkers tried to get her to tell them where it was buried. It is engraved with her initials.
