I found this result for Willard Center on the
http://www.newenglandancestors.org website and wonder if anyone can tell me
if Mary Ann Center and Frederick Centre of Cannelton, Perry County, IN were
related to the Willard Center (b. 4 Nov. 1806 NY, d. 30 Jan. 1879 IL) who
patented land in Sangamon Co., Menard Co., and Mason Co. IL and who also
lived in Logan Co. IL (Logan was formed form part of Sangamon Co. IL):
