It appears from looking at the census the following : Abner L. willey is the son of Abner Willey and Susan [mnuk] - It appears that his father died about 1874-5 so I would try the De archives to see if there is an estate or will. It also appears that this was a second marriage for Abner [Sr.] since there is a 17 year age difference and Abner [Sr.] is listed in DE records as married to Elizabeth Lofland on Aug 27 1842. Abner and Elizabeth appear in the 1850 census in Broadkill with 3 children James A. Phillip H. and Martha. In 1860 Abner is listed in the census in Cedar Creek m to Susan with children Phillip age 13, Elizibeth 5,Benj. F[ranklin] 4 Greenberry 3 and Charles W. 1 indicating that the last 4 children are probably Susans. I 1870 Abner and Susan are still in Cedar Creek with children Elizabeth, Franklin, Burton [ or Benton] Charles, George, Hannah J. and a 2 yearold whos name I can't read. Then finally in 1880 Susan is in M! urderkill, Kent with Frank, Charlie, Jane, again a name I can't read, Mark and Abner I can't tell you who Abner's father is because he is one of the loose ends in my files Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
