    1. Re: [NJBurlin] Wills family recap.

    3. Thanks Mike for a job well done, and welcome Joan.!! Recapping my research so far. This list has helped me greatly in finding the families of my ggreatgrandmom Martha Jane Wills McMullen,b. Washington Twp [ later Shamong] abt 1846, died Lakeland Florida, July 1887. Her Father was George Wills , [1808-1884] who with his wife Mary Delette Wills , was InnKeeper at Buttonwood Hill Tavern in Crowleytown, Wash Twp, Burlington Cty in 1850. [Thanks again to Rick for finding their stones in Tabernacle Cemetery.] I believe that my George [1808] is a descendant of Dr Daniel Wills through his son, Daniel II, and HIS son Daniel "Newbold" Wills and one of HIS sons--- either David [and Martha Crispin] or John [and Sarah Griffith] Each brother had a son named GEORGE who was the correct age to be FATHER to MY George, b. 1808 ----and info from other descendants suggests that my George's father was also named GEORGE. I also believe it is so difficult to connect him to the correct family because the WILLS were Quaker and the DELETTES -Mary's family- were Irish Catholic--- a difficult departure for this couple on both sides. I would welcome any further discussion or information on the background of this family, Other than the fine and helpful info [and pictures] from Dr. Richard Wills, who may well be a cousin closer that 5th.--- He supports the David Wills line for my GEORGE. Thanks again , Richard. Steph P. Cecil [email protected]
