Yes, you are correct that Willie is from Abbott, Hill County, Texas. The 2010 population was 356.
Crawford is the small town where George W. Bush purchased a 1600 acre ranch, probably with cash he got when he sold his share of the Texas Rangers baseball team.

Re: Off The Beaten Path - Bonham, TX
Although he lived in multiple Texas towns, I always remember singer Roy Orbison (wore sunglasses all the time, sang "Blue Bayou" and many others, was a member of The Travelling Wilberries) as hailing from Wink, Texas. The sunglass thing started because he wore prescription eyeglasses, but lost his clear lens pair before a show, and had to wear his prescription sunglasses as Plan B. Wearing sunglasses at night became his thing. His son says that when Roy was on the tour bus going somewhere, he could repeat chapter and verse from various Hollywood movies, and would keep his bandmates in stitches.
Comedian Ron White's hometown is Fritch, Texas. That's where his alias of "tater salad" was conferred on him, by FPD LEO's.
Willie Nelson's hometown is Abbott, Texas. I just corrected this. Crawford was incorrect.
So there's 3 votes for places for which you may find entries.

In July 2013 I made a 1 day trip to Bonham, since my Lake Dallas assistant preacher was assigned her own church of Bonham 1st Methodist.
After church we went out with a large group for lunch.
Fannin County, even though its population's 2018 estimate is only 35,286, has a Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealer in Bonham that punches above its weight for the size of its market area. They sell a very large volume of Ram trucks (they are now just Ram trucks, not "Dodge Rams" anymore). One of the locals was telling us that one of their Rams was missing from the lot. No one could figure out if it had been stolen, lent out, or somehow got sold without a proper paper trail. Kind of odd. Whenever I go by large dealer lots, I always wonder hot fast they turn their inventory, and how many millions of dollars of vehicles are sitting there unsold.
