The Willey Family
This is copied from " Isaac Willey of New London, CT, & His Descendants, by Henry Willey, 1888, New Bedford, MA. On 8/6/98, I have added information on # 93, which was sent by Frances Taber. I have also added information sent by Roxanne Fowler, for # 68. I have also added information on # 24, from Olive Richardson, sent 9/23/98. I have omitted what I considered either irrelevant or duplications of information. I will add more as time and energy permit. Elaine Merrell PLEASE NOTE It became increasing more difficult, as I was reaching the 7+ Generation that the formatting was just not working for this data. To make it easier to read I have changed the color and used italics for families that appeared to be running into others. I think that it will be self explanatory by the time that you reach these sections. Explanation of abbreviations:
