Lucretia [Holmes] Willey
Please correct/edit the following data for above subject. After years of careful research, I was able to figure out that Lucretia Holmes [born 1711] married circa 1726 1st John Willey, son of Isaac Willey and Rose [Bennett]. He died Sept. 6, 1726 [not 1728]. Widow Lucretia [Holmes] Willey m. 2nd to Joseph Willey on May 22, 1727, son of John Willey and Elizabeth [Harvey]. They had 8 children, the last born in 1742. She died prior to 1746. Hope this will clear up the confusion. Thank you, Jonathan Twiss
