Walden Moravis Willison was born Jun 2,1900 in Barry Co, MI and died Oct 20, 1992, near Tacoma, WA. He was married to Ruth mankin Jan 22, 1924, and divorced. His nickname was "Spec". I don't know if he had any children. Tend to believe he didn't.

This is forward to this message board for Mary Lou
(who can't access this message board... but does really good look ups) any response should be made to her...

didn't do the 1920 or 1930 yet but this is what I did find:

1870-MICHIGAN-BARRY CO-BARRY TWP

8-3-3-WILLISON, James -49-M-W-Farmer -$1800-$400-OHIO
9-3-3-WILLISON, Esther P.-43-F-W-Keeping House- - -NEW YORK
10-3-3-WILLISON, Moravia -21-M-W-Farmer - - -MICHIGAN
11-3-3-WILLISON, Mary -18-F-W-At Home - - -MICHIGAN
12-3-3-WILLISON, Minerva -16-F-W-At Home - - -MICHIGAN
13-3-3-WILLISON, Merton -14-M-W-At Home - - -MICHIGAN
14-3-3-WILLISON, Albert A.-12-M-W-At Home - - -MICHIGAN
15-3-3-WILLISON, WALDEN - 8-M-W-At Home - - -MICHIGAN

I can't do the 1880 or the 1890 or the 1900.
However, here is the 1910:

1910-MICHIGAN-BARRY CO-ASSYRIA TWP-Page 8

Walden T. WILLISON-HEAD-M-W-48-M1-27- - -MICHIGAN -OHIO -
Cora E. WILLISON-WIFE-F-W-47-M1-27-3-2-NEW YORK -ENGLAND-
WALDEN M. WILLISON-SON -M-W- 9-S - - - -MICHINGAN-MICHIGAN-NEW YORK

So we have James, WALDEN T., then WALDEN M. WILLISON.

I have been running errands every day for the past few weeks and it
effects my look-up time! So, time tonight, if given, I will see about
the 1920 and 1930 for you.


Good Luck!

If you want to know anything about the Barry Co. Willisons, let me know. I am in Barry Co, and this is my mother's family. I know more about it than anyone alive. The Assyria Twp branch is that of James Jr. and Esther Barber

Gordon, My Rhoda Willison married Noah Whitehouse Coffman in 1830 in OH. I have no idea who her parents were or where they lived, before they moved to OH. I have the Coffman/Kaufman line. Noah was minister in the United Church of the Brethren in OH. In the Shenandoah Valley, his people had been Mennonites. His parents were Martin Coffman and Sarah Whitehouse (married in Linnville, VA). I'd surely appreciate it if you would look in your collection to see if my Rhoda was part of your family In just 2 generations this family went from Shenandoah Valley to OH, to IA and northern TX. Quite a moving family. Have no idea where their relatives went. Thank you. Iris grandmairis1@yahoo.com
