Barbara, There is no question that Augustus Willis was married to Eliza Arabella "Belle" Copple, May 11, 1867 in Shelby County Ind. I'm sure that I sent you copy of both his Indiana marriage's. I have Estate papers for Eliza Copple Willis' father Adam Copple. There are question's about Augustus father, Robert's marriage or marriages. The Indiana Census would seem there were two wives.. I notice you didn't include names of Robert Willis' three children with possible second wife. I'll send the names to you again, Catherine Willis, bn abt. 1856, Indiana Jasper Willis, bn 1859, Indiana Isom Willis, bn 1864, Indiana Warm Regards, ~*~*~*~*~*~* Virginia Turley Willis R.R. 1 Box 288 Amoret, Missouri 64722 http://www.geocities.com/nutnnew/ ----- Original Message ----- From: Barbara A Milman To: WILLIS-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, October 28, 2001 9:12 AM Subject: WILLIS in NJ->OHIO->IND->MO Listmembers, If any of these names are familiar, please contact me.
