Surnames: Henry, Atkisson, Deweese, Holt
In 1880 census in Benton County, Arkansas,
Willie A. HENRY is listed as a 16-year-old cousin to the head of household who was John G. ATKISSON. Her place of birth was given as Arkansas.

1880 United States
Name: Willie A. Henry
Age: 16
Birth Year: abt 1864
Birthplace: Arkansas
Home in 1880: Big Spring, Benton, Arkansas
Race: White
Gender: Female
Relation to Head of House: Cousin
Marital Status: Single
Mother's Birthplace: Tennessee
Father's Birthplace: blank

John G. ATKISSON married two DEWEESE sisters -- the first one was Mary (shown in 1880 census, who died in 1881 in Benton County, Ark.). He married her sister, Martha DEWEESE in 1881 in that locality. They were daughters of Solomon DEWEESE and Mary Ann FLANNERY, who lived in Texas County, MO. for a time and the cousinship of Willie Ann HENRY might be through this family. In fact, a Willie DEWEESE (born ca 1865) is attached to some online trees (without sources) as a child of Solomon DEWEESE and his wife, Sarah Leticia HOLT. However, I'm doubtful of this as Sarah (the mother) has a birth date shown as ca 1812. That means she would have been 53 years old when this Willie was born, which highly unlikely.
However, there may be a connection to our Willie Ann HENRY somewhere.
Good luck.
