My gggrandmother, Celestia Scott's maiden name was
Sears. Her mother was Mary Elizabeth, but I don't
know her father's name. Celestia named her only
daughter Mary Willis Scott. I always wondered why she
would name her daughter Willis.

I don't know anything else about them except Celestia
Sears was born in IL and her mother and father were
born in NY. Cannot find Mary Elizabeth's maiden name
or her husband's first name.
