Andrew Willey
Born 1738 Dover, Strafford, New Hampshire
Married ?
Children ?
Died after 12 August 1819 which is the date he enrolled for his pension as a vet of the Revolutionary army. 

U.S. Pension roll of 1835 - when Andrew would have been 97 years old.
It shows his rank (dittoed from the previous page) as Private. The next column: annual allowance, the third Sum received so far, the fourth, the description of service (in this case N.H. Continental line), Date placed on pension roll, date of when pension commenced, and age at time it began

Stephen Willey
Born 1740 Dover, Stratford, New Hampshire
Married Comfort McCoy
Note: This marriage is listed on Family Search and has a source. However, I'm not convinced he married this woman at age 70. It needs more research. There are two children listed with similar names, but different birth/death dates. They are both listed as born in 1765 - now that would have been an ideal time for Stephen and Comfort to get married. If they were not married until 1809, Comfort would have been nearly 70 as well - beyond the age of a woman being able to give birth. 
Children: not going to list either girl that is listed on Family Search  
Died 1810 New Hampshire - I've also seen 1823 in Brookfield, New Hampshire - birthplace of their supposed daughter.

Charles Willey
Born August 1745 Dover, Strafford, New Hampshire
Military: American Revolutionary War
Note: Rank: Private according to the pension he received
Married Comfort Hilton 
Children: none found
Died 21 January 1853 Almshouse, Nottingham, Rockingham, New Hampshire (age 107)
Note: I've seen August 1853 as a date, but given his probate record, which took place in February, August of 1853 is impossible.

Doctor's record of his death at the Alms House in New Hampshire Deaths and Burials

Death found in New England Historical and Genealogical Record


Part of Charles Probate - according to this letter, he and Comfort lived
with James Griffen and his wife. With that said, the death record the doctor turned in claims that Charles died in the Poor House and his widow, Comfort, lives with them.




Letter petitioning court to have the pension Charles was receiving
go to his widow, who is living with James Griffen and his wife.
The Court was satisfied that this was the case and ordered it to be so.
Though, this is odd since a doctor claimed he died at the poor house (alms house).
Comfort shows up in the 1860 US  Compiled Census and Census Substitutes Index
