    9. Title: Southern Claims Commission
      Text: Catherine Willoughby filed a claim for a sorrel mare and large fat cow that were taken by General Davidson's calvary in December 1863 when they camped in Columbia, Mississippi on their way to Mobile, Alabama.

      Page: 1

      The claim was disallowed, as it was determined Mrs. Willoughby was regarded as disloyal to the Union. Five of her sons joined the Confederate Army at the beginning of the War and served the entire war.
    10. Title: Notes by Laurel Shannon Albritton Gorman
      Text: On this census page, 1860 United States Federal Census > Mississippi > Marion page 13, is Mary Willoughby Hobbs, widow of William Hobbs. Mary Willoughby is the daughter of Rodolphus Willoughby and Catherine Cooper. Catherine Cooper is the daughter of John Cooper and Abigail Bobo. John and Abigail Cooper are also the parents of William Cooper, who is living next door to Mary Willoughby Hobbs on this census page. John Cooper came from KY to Marion County, Mississippi. Also on this page is Willliam Sistrunk, and his wife, Elizabeth Cooper, daughter of William Cooper. William Sistrunk is the son of Jacob Sistrunk, who is thought to have come through Kentucky as well. The Rodolphus Willoughby, John Cooper, William Hobbs, and Jacob Sistrunk do appear to have traveled together through Kentucky to Marion County, Mississippi.
