Willie Joel's parents were Dr. Joel C. and Virginia Ann Talbert Blackburn - Virginia Ann was from the Michael D. Talbert and Truitt lines. Dr. Joel C. Blackburn was a dentist and was supposed to have died abt 1875 from a water moccasin bite. I would like to know if someone could find an obituary or reference to his death. His father, James D.
