Willis Madison Keys: Christian Co. KY->Missouri->Kansas
I'm looking for any information Willis Madison Keys who was born on 17 May 1824 in Bainbridge, Christian County, Kentucky.He was on his own in the 1850 census.He moved to Clay County, Missouri, sometime between 1850 and 1854 when he married Louisa Chaney, who was born and raised in Missouri.They then moved to Kansas, where he died in 1906.
Throughout his life he worked as a stone mason and a farmer.He supposedly was a member of the Union Army under General Thomas; I've found his wife's pension record, but the cursive that says what unit he was in is too difficult for me to read and decipher, as it is also abbreviated.
If anyone has any information on Willis, especially parents and siblings, I would love if you shared it with me.
