Willis N. Tiffany 1794-1859

Im am looking for more information, like who his parents were, on Willis Norman Tiffany. I found him through John Webster Tiffany 1828-1900 and I found John through James W Tiffany 1883-1951. James W Tiffany is my Great Grandmother Wavah Tiffany's (married to Elmer Clifton)Father.

I'm just pulling out my hair because it seems like Willis Just appears and there is nothing to connect him to. Any help would be great flynnette30@hotmail.com if you have anything for me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Liz....

I found a will for James H. Tiffany https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1942-24599-42157-7?.... In it he references his sister Almira and a nephew named George Norton. He also indicates that he's leaving property to the nephew if he stays with "his family" until the nephew is 21. There is an Almera Tiffany in Bath, Steuben, NY in 1840.

I also found information in the Landmarks of Steuben Co. indicating that a Dr. Samuel Le Gro married an Almira Tiffany as his second wife. https://books.google.com/books?id=NvM1AQAAMAAJ&pg=RA1-PA...

Interestingly, Dr. Le Gro and Almira are buried in Grove Cemetery in Bath, NY along with James H. Tiffany and Willis N. (and his family). I expect Almira, James H. and Willis N. are all the same family group.

Will keep digging.
Sheila :-)
