Research notes for Willis & Mildred (Family)
Ward of John Snyder.
“In 1836, Mr. WIllis Oglesby moved to Decatur, bringing with him young Dick and his three sisters. One of these sisters died soon after their arrival, and was buried in Decatur.... Many old citizens of decatur remember quaint old “Grandma” Oglesby, who was the “Aunt Judy” Oglesby loved and honored as a mother, and who lived to see him occupy the high position of governor of Illinois. She loved to tell stories of “Dicky’s” escapades, and final returns to her sheltering arms.” 414
This indicates that perhaps Willis’ wife was Judith Snyder, not Mildred? I show Judith having married RJO’s uncle, Richard. Needs verification.
