- 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.
Jesse Willets, another son of Samuel Willets, married Mary A. Shields and resided in Mercer co until his death about 8 years ago. His widow still lives in New Boston (died 1899) and he has several children living in Mercer co. Ill.
