Hello,

I am researching my husband's paternal line and am looking for any information that can help me along. Here is what I know so far:

My husband's grandfather was William Sherman WILLOUGHBY, born 5 Jan 1888 in Mount Sterling, KY and died 23 Nov 1929 in Kellyville, Creek County, OK. He married Rosa MORRISON (date unknown) and had at least 2 children born in KY: Elsie Mae born 25 Apr 1907 and James/Jim born 16 May 1911 (my husband's father). Went by the name of Sherman.

Sherman's father was William H "Bill" WILLOUGHBY/WILLIBY, born 16 Apr 1855 in Mount Sterling, KY and died 2 Aug 1930 in Kellyville, OK. He married Nancy HATTON 13 Apr 1884 in Montgomery County, KY. Nancy was born 2 Feb 1854 in KY to Hiram Franklin HATTON and Susan Louana HOLDER, and died 29 Mar 1938 in Kellyville, OK. Known children were daughter Juda born ca. Mar 1886 in KY, daughter Ardenia born ca. Sept 1891 in KY, and daughter Mattie born ca. Apr 1897 in KY as per 1900 US Federal Census for Powell County, KY (enumeration district 89, sheet #6). Also a daughter, Nancy Jane, born 24 Apr 1898 in KY (I suspect Nancy Jane and Mattie are probably the same person - I have a death certificate for Nancy Jane, and she is listed on the 1920 US Federal Census in Kellyville, Creek County, OK) and died 3 Jun 1987 in Kellyville, OK.

Nancy Jane married Jacob/Jake WEINS on 24 Apr 1920 in Kellyville, OK.

The death certificate of William H. lists his father as Rube WILLIBY born KY.

I would greatly appreciate any help of any kind. I can be contacted at niecey1027.cs@gmail.com.

Thank you!
