Hi Jane, The first wife marriage should have said bef. 1849.....don't know why it did not copy. Lost it in transcribing somewhere.....lol. I have a feeling that Anna M. could be the out of wedlock daughter of Rachel Rachel would have been age 17 at the time of Anna's birth. Also, about the little Cherry guy. Why was his name not WILL?

Found a few bits, but names don't seem to match. Jack asked ----- Original Message ----- From: Jack O'Connor To: PA List Sent: Friday, January 23, 2009 4:31 PM Subject: [PACAMBRI] Obit - Basil Will / Wills Any idea who the married daughters are? Thanks to Beth, Brenda and Mary for their great input. Saturday, December 14, 1901, Tribune, page 1, Johnstown, Cambria, PA Basil Will [Wills?] Mr. Basil Will, of Ashville, this county, died Thursday afternoon at 2 oclock, at the home of his son John P. Will aged eight eight years. Deceased was one of the pioneers of Cambria County and was born near Chest Springs. He was married to Miss Susan Irvin, of Bellwood, who preceded him to the grave twelve years ago. He was a member of St. Thomas Catholic Church at Ashville. He is survived by four children James Will and Mrs. SeXXXX, of Bellwood; John P. of Ashville, and Mrs. David Cook, of Altoona. The funeral took place this morning, mass being said in St. Thomas Church and interment following in St. Thomas Cemetery. Jane writes 1. From the 1880 Antis Twp., Blair Co. census WILLS, Basil, 64 [1816] Ellen, wife, 50 [1830] Margaret A, 16 [1864], dau Anna M, 11 [1869], dau This is same as Beth posted (copied below) 2.

Will; b. Abt. March 19, 1869 but the Anna M from March 19, 1869 has parents listed as omitted/Rachel omitted and gp named Basil Wills & Maria E Gourly I didn't have enough of Mrs. SeXXXX of Bellwood, Blair Co to find her in the 1900 census. I suspect she is Anna M. Beth asked 1850 Census, Clearfield Township, Cambria County, Pennsylvania (August) Image 10, Line 37 Basil WILL, age 38, farmer, b. Penn Helen Will, age 22, b. Penn Demetrius Will, age 6/12, b. Penn James CHERRY, age 3, b. Penn (who does this child belong to?) Beth, could this little fella be SHERRY, Jacob Peter of Peter & Elizabeth Kay; b 07-26-1847. Or the James Will you have as born 1846 and listed below Mary Moran. Keep in mind, I'm not following these families, just guessing. Jane asks Beth, Sorry, but I have the hardest time reading these descendants charts. You have Basil & Mary Moran m 1849 and the 2nd wife of Basil named Ann Ellen Hannah Irvin. Basil married 2nd wife Jan 10, 1849. That's a busy 10 days of 1849 for Basil.
