Message Board Post:
Thanks Wanda! I've added your info (1880) to my database. Here's a note I had
about Nancy Willison or Millison Carter in my database (from a couple years ago):
"Nancy's maiden-name is in question. The Brown County (Indiana) Health Department
death record for Emily Carter lists her mother as Nancy Willison. However, researcher,
Mary Nancy Hays Deckard seems to have strong evidence (family letters) that Nancy's
maiden-name was Millison."
Mary Nancy Hays Deckard's evidence may have been strong ... at least her conviction in
this information was strong. I, however, don't know what to believe. I certainly saw
Willison as the entry in the Brown County death records. I've seen more evidence,
personally, of Willison than Millison. Mary Nancy Hays Deckard ... never entirely
convinced me that the family name is Millison ... because she never really offered to
share any solid evidence ... that I can recall. I asked to see a copy of the letters that
she referred to and ... they were never produced ... so I'm skeptical. What choice?
:-).
