Isaac Odell Willsea

Isaac removed to Kendall, NY in 1839.

Isaac, his father, and others are buried front center of the Beechwood Cemetery, indicating they were founders, and pillars, of the early church which is no longer standing. Other Willseas, up to much later times, may be found in other locations. Local records of the times were destroyed in a fire around the turn of the century.
