    2. Stephanie Cecil
    3. Hi Folks. Decided I would ask again since it's been while. My mother's mother was born 9/4/1867 to Malcolm. McMullen and MARTHA JANE WILLS, in Shamong Twp, Burlington County NJ. I will add here what I THINK I know of Martha Jane and her family of Origin. If anyone can connect to ANY of her sibs or her parents please let me know. I have tintypes and a photo of Martha Jane, made in the 1870s. And -I have a photo of Mary Dillett Wills about age 70 made in Philadelphia.[probably 1880-something] I also have two tintypes, a girl Mary Wills and one Annie Wills, probably children of one of Martha's brothers, George James or Moses.[see below] One of these brothers may have married a Margaret, as I have another picture of an elderly woman addressed to my Grandmom signed "Aunt Margaret" in 1907.
