This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Willis, Blades Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3AC.2ACE/1511.1 Message Board Post: No wills or anything else for him, that I can find. The Blades surname is rare here. I suspect most of them went West early in the 1800s. I can find only one child that is likely theirs...James M. Willis, born abt 1799. He md 3 times and most his children stayed in the county, intermarrying with the Scarce, George & Myers families. Note: I am not connected to any of these families.
