Hi Justin,
You may already know this. Jess Willard's father was Myron B.Willard,born Oct.11,1844 - died in Oct. of 1881 the same year his son Jess was born.
Jess's mother was Margaret(Maggie)B.Hileman Willard,born June 8,1850 - died Feb.10,1908. She and Myron had 4 sons which Jess was the youngest.
Margaret re-married in 1891 to Elisha Stalker who rasied the boys along with his own boys in Kansas.
I am trying to find info. on Myron's family to see if he had any brothers. I think my grandfather or great-father was a cousin of Jess Willard. If you have any info. please send. Thanks!
