• Notes

  Amos H Willson was a "tobacco pedlar" who later turned to farming. He owned 437 acres of land in the township. Amos was one of the trustees of the Children of Peace in its last years, but he left the sect in 1881 after a dispute with his uncles about letting a Presbyterian congregation use the Meeting Houses. - - -
