70. Henry Willis⁶ Breazeale (Benjamin Franklin⁵ Breazell, Willis⁴ Brazeal, Henry³, Henry² Brazeel, Henry¹) was born in Roane Co, TN August 3, 1807. Henry died November 16, 1867 in Cooke Co, TX.

He married twice. He married Cynthia Ann McKamey July 3, 1828 in Roane Co, TN. Cynthia was born 1808. Cynthia died February 26, 1859. He married Jane __________ after 1859. In 1850, Henry Willis and family are in Roane Co, TN. After his father's death, they moved to Denton County, Texas. They are listed in the Denton County census in 1860. They are living next to Joshua and Helina Selby. The Selby's son, George, would later marry Henry Willis's granddaughter Mary Jane (daughter of John and Rosannah Lemons Breazeale).

Henry married a much younger woman within months after his first wife's death in 1859. There is no record of this marriage. More than likely, they were married in Denton County, but those records burned in 1875. However, Jane, his wife, filed a petition in the Cook County court in March 1868, stating she was his legal wife and entitled by community property to his estate.

In the 1860 census, there are 5 Hunt children living with Henry and Jane along with 3 of his children by his first marriage. We do not know the relationship of these Hunt children to Henry and Jane. However after his death, in April 1868, Jane filed for guardianship of the 4 youngest Hunt children in Cooke county. She represented that they had no legal guardian and she should be named as such as executor of the estate from their grandfather Thomas Hunt.
