I am looking for info on Laura Spear or Spears who had children Ervin, Hettie, Elza, Della, Sid, Ida, Mary, Avo and Rosa. In the 1900 Census they are all listed as Spear and in the 1910 census they were all listed as Willis.
I have heard stories that Laura was probably not married to Richard but don't know.
I would like to know the story about Laura and Richard and who their actual spouses were.
Can anyone help?
I think they lived in the Cumberland and Clay County area.

My husbands family are from cherry tree ridge, his great grandmother was Rosa Willis Long. her parents were Dick and Laura Spears. please contact me. thanks Laura

How wonderful to finally find "family".
I am just returning from vacation and will
get back to you after the Memorial Holiday.
I am located in Indiana. How about you?
This Willis family is sooooooo confusing!!!
Will get back to you soon for sure.
Thanks,
Brenda

I don't think I ever got back to you. Sorry.
My grandfather was Sid Willis, brother or step brother of Rosa. I am so confused as some reports show them as Spear/Spears and some as Willis.
Please get back with me at brgilles@iupui.edu and perhaps we can swap notes.
