My mother was a Willison.The old Willison farm, Fairview, was on the east side of Polish Mt., about one and a half miles WEST of Flintstone, on the South side of I-68, but on the north side of old Route 40.The house was on the curve, and very close to the r5ad. I have some pictures of the house, taken about 35 years ago. The house was very large, and we always heard that it was an inn.Only the stone walls were standing when we were there, but you could see where there had been l6 fireplacesbuilt into the stone chimneys.The Willisons were numerous around Flintstone,so they might have owned other places too.Did you research the deed in Cumberland? I would be interested in knowing if this is the place that you were talking about.What made you think that it was east of Flintstone, and on the north side of the road?I would be glad for any additional information. Sincerely, Don Carpenter
