Do you know of Willits ???

We found mention of Willits as a community (see Mentions and References below), but haven't been able to determine its location - other than being located somewhere in Jackson County, North Carolina.
This entry could have originated in error. It might be that a source had a misprint, was simply wrong or we made a transcription error while referencing it. Many of the documents we reference are from the 1800s and the early 1900s, with some easier to read than others.
