Richard Scott & Delores Sue (Green) Willey Family of CA

The combined Family Tree of Richard Scott and Delores Sue (GREEN) WILLEY is a enjoyable hobby for me now for several years.I have spent my prerequisite time in dusty libraries, County Courthouses and cemeteries and studying many Federal Census records.Needless to say, including collateral lines, my tree has grown substantially. This hobby has introduced me to many previously unknown relatives; My Greene cousins from the "second" family; George, Garland, Gail, Eddie, Gwen, Max, and great-aunt Belva; Frank Harris, Aunt Sena Harris's grandson and Jennifer Humphries, Aunt Rosella's granddaughter;my Stewart family; Great-Aunt Winnie, and cousins, Doug, Jimmy and Jerry in KY and Barbara and Mickie in Oregon.My Jones & Gott cousins in Knoxville, TN, children of grandfather's half-sister, Texie (Jones) Gott; and many Renfroe & Holbrook relatives; like, Ruth & Larry Smitt; Janice and Connie in KY; and the family of Bess (Leadingham) Laventure, half-niece of my grandmother. It has also introduced me to many Willey family members, including Muriel Dotsie, Rick's first cousin who has been such fun with her jokes and news and her daughters who helped me with the Willey Ancestry.

Currently, I am researching the:WILLEY/REARDON/ LEIGHTON/THOMPSON/CUMMINGS/RAND/MOODY & BLETHEN families on the Willey side of the tree.I have hit a brick wall with John Edward Reardon, Sr.All these families resided in New England with the exception of James Blethen who moved to Oakland, CA. and became the Mayor of Oakland in the 1890's.
On the GREEN side: GREEN/WHITE/SPARKS/GILLENWATER/PORTER/
DUNCAN/COCKE/RENFROE/HOLBROOK/BARKER/HUNTER/JONES/HUGHES/LETTERMAN/THOMAS/STEWART/MIDDLETON/CHADWELL & BAILEY.These families were from NC, VA, & KY
