| Levi WILLIS
Martha ROBARDS |
| Husband: Levi WILLIS
Birth: 1800-1810, but closer to 1800, Jessamine Co., KY Death apparently: 1830-40, Sullivan Co., IN Father: Sherod WILLIS Mother: Mary Ann HUNTER |
| Marriage: 19 Jul 1819, Jessamine Co., KY |
| Wife: Martha "Patsy" ROBARDS
Birth: 1800-1810, but closer to 1800, Jessamine Co., KY Death apparently: 1840-50, Sullivan Co., IN Father said to be: William ROBARDS Martha is almost certainly related to John ROBARDS, the 1710 immigrant from Wales to Virginia, whose widowed daughter-in-law — among other ROBARDS — settled in Jessamine Co., KY, in the late 1700s, but I have not as yet been able to make the connection. ROBARDS is a rare surname, and I've little doubt all the ones in Jessamine Co., KY, in the late 1700s and early 1800s were related, but many of these have yet to be "connected." |
