Karen - You should ask the Whitman and Abington Town Clerks. Whitman (incorporated South Abington, 1875, renamed 1886) might have Frank's marriages and Abington might have his birth. Whitman Town Hall 54 South Ave. P.O. Box 426 Whitman, MA 02382-2052 Hours: Mon. - Fri. 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Phone: 781-447-7607 Fax: 781-447-7318 http://www.ci.whitman.ma.us/ Abington Town Hall 500 Gliniewicz Way Abington, MA 02351-1675 Hours: Mon. - Fri. 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Phone: 781-982-2112 Fax: 781-982-2138 http://www.abingtonmass.com/ Frank Willett could easily have been an Abington native. There were Willetts in Abington from the beginning of the 18th century. I don't see any Stevensons in the Abington VRs, which end in 1850. Dale H.
