Hello listers!

I found some WILLSEY info that I forgot I had. All via the NYS Census, Town of Berne, 1855:

HOH, Andrew WILLSEY, b. c. 1808, farmer
wife, Irene, b. c. 1813
children:
Malvina WILLSEY, b. c. 1835
Elihu WILLSEY, b. c. 1837, farmer
Phebe Ann WILLSEY, b. c. 1839
Harriet E. WILLSEY, b. c. 1843
Stephen H. WILLSEY, b. c. 1843
Abraham T. WILLSEY, b. c. 1847
Charles E. WILLSEY, b. c. 1848
Harvey D. WILLSEY, b. c. 1852

Another branch in this Berne family (from the same 1855 Census) is:

HOH, Seneca WILLSEY, b. c. 1828, farmer
wife, Rachel J., b. c. 1833
child:
Elmira WILLSEY, b. c. 1853

Hope this helps the various Willsey researchers out there! Now I have a question: What is the relationship of little Elmira WILLSEY, daughter of Rachel and Seneca, to my Elmira WILLSEY ( b. 1829), wife of Rufus P.T. BOLSTER? Is "little" Elmira a niece or a cousin?
