+====== Willard Franklin Seymour ======
-Note from Jim: These are my great-great-grandparents! Willard Franklin Seymour was born 16 Feb. 1836 in Oneida Co., N.Y. and died 20 July 1902 in Lead, Lawrence Co., S.D. He was married on 27 Oct. 1858 in Joliet, Will Co., IL. to Sarah Mary Ryan, who was born in Newton, Kilcock, near Maynooth, Co Meath, Ireland on 23 Nov. 1834. Sarah's parents were James Ryan and Abigail Potterton. Her mother died when Sarah was about 13 and she was sent to America when she was 15. She and Willard had nine children - including my great-grandfather, Frank Allen Seymour. Frank's only child was my grandfather, also named Willard Franklin Seymour.
