Hi Barbara, First, I am not related in any way, but have been doing some cesus digging & I have come up with 2 "Rose Emma Wills". One is listed in the 1870 Morgan Co., Ky census, Cordelia 43,Stephen 17, Amanda 10, Rose 6 & Andrew 1. Then in the 1880 Montgomery Co.,Ky census, taken on 6/15/1880, Nelson Wills, 38,Ann, wife 42, Allisonson,6 and ROSE E.,15 sister. Nelson is a son of Shelton & Cordelia Wills. But also in the 1880 Montgomery Co., Ky census taken on 6/05/1880 is Stephen Wills 27,wife Anna 28,Laurie 6, Emma J., 3, Mary A., 1 and listed right below is Cordelia Wills, 46 mother and Rose, 1, grand daughter. One of the family histories on ancestry .com has the parents of Henry RC Greenwade as Henry Robert Greenwade, born 10/11/1830 Mpnt.Co., Ky, died 1/20/1887 Mont Co., Ky and Emily Wills, born 2/26/1831 Menifee Co.,Ky died 9/15/1881 Montgomery Co.,Ky. As Amanda was listed as being 10 in the 1870 census, she possibly could have been born after the census was taken in 1860 and that would explain her absence from that census. Don't mean to confuse you with this, but wanted to let you know what I found. A family researcher, Sharon ============================================================ From: "Barbara I.

None of them ever lists all the children I have found on the censuses. Does anyone know why Amanda WILLS is left out of these trees? She is my husband's great-great-grandmother. She is only found on the 1870 census for Morgan County KY and on the death certificate of Rose Emma Wills SHEPHERD. Rose Emma is listed on the 1880 census with her grandmother Cordelia WILLS in Montgomery County KY. When Rose Emma married James SHEPHERD, Nelson WILLS s/o Shelton and Cordelia signed the marriage bond. I do not know the circumstances surrounding Rose Emma's birth, i.e. whether her mother died in childbirth and left her with her grandmother, but her father Henry RC GREENWADE jr was a married man when she was conceived. He married Cleopatra SHOUSE and he moved to Missouri then California. His daughters are all listed as Rose Emma's sisters in her obit.
