FYI and in response to Tanica Campbell:

I have a book bought at a library book sale, "Some Cemetery Records of
Abbeville County, South Carolina," copied by the WPA from tombstones in three
cemeteries in Abbeville Co.: Melrose Cemetery, Episcopal Churchyard, and Long
Canes Cemetery. In the front of the book is the following: "The WPA
transcripts, made in the 1930s, are now in the South Caroliniana Library,
University of SC, with whose kind permission this present condensed version is
made available. The tombstone inscriptions, as given here, refer to persons
who died between 1795 and 1936 and generally contain dates of birth and death
and the names of immediate family members. While this work does not purport to
cover all the cemeteries in Abbeville County, it does represent all of the
records gathered by the WPA for this particular county."

On page 2: A.H. WILLIS b. 4/22/1848 d. 8/30/1906; Japhos R. s A.H. & S.L.
WILLIS, b. 8/25/1893, d. 8/15/1902; Fannie E. WILLIS w. W.R. WILSON, b.
8/28/1885, d. 6/3/1911; Ben S. WILLIS, b. 6/27/1891, d. 6/9/1925; Samuel A.
WILLIS, b. 3/19/1862, d. 2/18/1917.

Maybe your WILLIS is in the complete records.
