- 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.
Job Willets, youngest son of Sam L. Willets married first a Miss Prentiss, sister of Stanton V. Prentiss in New Boston, afterwards a Craft. He moved to Chicago a number of years ago and died there leaving his widow and several children.
