I am a descendant of Joseph Wells Willis and Maryann Maria Davidson. My grandfather George Francis Willis was Sarah’s brother. Maryann’s birthdate was 10 Nov 1824; Joseph’s was 11 April 1819. Joseph’s parents were Daniel Willis and Sophia Wells. Unfortunately I know nothing about them apart from their names.
Thanks for sharing all your information.
