I am trying to trace the lineage of George Washington Willey b. a 1891 - 1892 married 1931 to Nellie F. Bramble. His ( George W's. ) parents were Joseph and Elnora Insley Willey and I think Joseph's father may have been Levin Willey. My question is -- from the message below -- could Tilghman L. Willey be Tilghman Levin Willey father of Levin and Joseph Willey. If anyone has info regarding this family to share, I will appreciate your help.
