- Excerpt from Autobiography of Isaac Newton Bassett
My Mother's Family:
My Mother's sister Nancy was married to Samuel Willets. She was his third wife and somewhat advanced in age before she was married - over forty I think.
Shortly after the marriage Samuel Willits moved to Mercer Co Ill. - about 1839-1840 and settled near New Boston on a farm. Sam L. Willets had six children by his former wives but my Aunt Nancy never had any children.
Samuel Willett's children were Sarah, by his first wife, married to Davis who died leaving her a widow with some five children. She never married again. I think she died about ten years ago. One of her daughters, Levinia, is the wife of Leonidas Volney Willets and nephew of Sam L. Willets and lives at Watsonville, California. Nancy another daughter of Sarah David died shortly after marriage.
I do not know what has become of her three sons.
