Notes |
- Lobo Twp is about 12 miles from Delaware, Ontario. On Lobo Twp voter list in 1878 and 1880. Not on census in 1881. His 2nd wife is on 1881 census as a widow.
On the 1861 Canadian Census for Cramahe, Northumberland, Canada, his children Levi and Lucinda appeared in the household of Abert(age 54) & Abigail Porter(age 50). Also in the household children, Maurice Porter(age 25) and Porthena Porter(age 22). All were listed as born in the U.S. We have not found Willis in the 1861 census. Willis appears on the 1852 Census in Brighton, Northumberland County (without Sophronia or Levi). (Cramahe is about 11 miles from Brighton). We believe that his wife Sophronia died approximately 1861. This is probably indicative that she died prior to the 1861 census. We have not found Willis himself on the 1861 census.
From family trees online it appears that Albert Borzer Porter was born 1805 in Hartford County, Connecticut. His wife is Abigail Pettet. I did not find any genealogical connection.
On the 1850 census in Ira, Cayuga, New York Head of household is listed as William Phelps, wife is listed as Cephrona and Willis (must be Levi) is listed as 6 months old on 8/10/1850 (Levi's death cert shows born Feb 1850).
There is an 1851 mortgage foreclosure sale on his real estate in Ira, found on genealogybank.com. The Cayuga Chief 11 Nov1851 P.3. Willis executed a mortgage 6 Jul 1850. The foreclosure sale is 27 Nov 1851.
He appears on 1878 and 1880 Voter Lists in Lobo Township. But does not appear on the 1881 Census. We assume that he died prior to 1881.
Inscription on 2nd wife's gravestone, says in 1884 "wife of late W.H. Phelps"
