  Notes	The family tradition indicates that Franklin's father married first Judah Collins then Amy Collins, sisters. The name given for Franklin's father is Jabez but we know that Jabez did not marry Judah and Amy. My guess is that William's middle name was Jabez, which was also his son's first name. Perhaps William actually went by his middle name, Jabez, but in official documents such as his estate and the census went by his first name. 2010 171 NE from drive - Willis plot at back left http://trees.ancestry.com/rd?f=image&guid=2ba17ac3-c901-4777-95b3-3cc1193800c3&tid=10578216&pid=32 Spot believed to be William Willis & perhaps Judah R of Willis plot http://trees.ancestry.com/rd?f=image&guid=a31758b3-d62f-476d-bc3a-c61470921776&tid=10578216&pid=32
