I had posted this some time in the past and now have discovered through census info that John was born in New Jersey, not New York.....wanted to see if anyone knew anything about him with this new information. My family descends from John B. Willis who was born about 1825 in NJ. He married Elizabeth Strange who was born Abt. 1821 in Highland Co., OH. They were married 6-23-1849 in Knox Co., IL. They had at least 3 children: Peter Vandorn Willis - born 2-4-1851 John B. Willis, Jr. - born Abt. 1855 Charlotte Willis - born Abt. 1859 Looking for any information on this family.
