Trying to gather information on Andy Wills and his wife Eleanor Smith.

They lived in Mt. Sterling and appear on the 1850 and 1860 census. They appear to have passed away there as well and deeded land to the children. I have not been able to locate a will or determine when they passed or where buried.

The daughters married into HADDEN, HAINLINE, TURNER lines.

It appears son James may have married Julia SHOUSE. I found one child from that union who passed away:

Harley A Wills
Birth 27 Jun 1874 in Montgomery, Kentucky
Death 30 May 1875 in Montgomery, Kentucky, USA

Their son Thomas is listed as a widower on military documents but I have not been able to locate any information on a spouse or children.

Looking for any information folks might have on this group. Also interested in finding anyone that may have yDNA or MtDNA info relating to Andy or Eleanor.
