The census data from 1870, 1880, 1900, 1910, and 1920 have birth dates that vary as much as 7 years for some of the family members. I have generally used the dates from the 1880 census. The 1880 PA census list 11 children. Jacob was a farmer. In the 1900 census Jacob owned his farm free and clear. He could read but not write. In 1910 Jacob was living with his son, Charles.

A MANDA CHARLOTTE4 WILLISON (JACOB3, SINGLETON2, JOHN1) was born February 26, 1876 in Hyndman, PA11, and died September 29, 1951 in Cumberland, MD. She married JOHN SHERMAN BISHOP July 02, 1902, son of JOSHUA BISHOP and CARRIE WALTER. He was born March 08, 1879 in Hayfield, VA, and died May 1959 in Hancock, MD.Notes for A MANDA CHARLOTTE WILLISON:Some researchers show Amanda being born in 1879. After looking at the various census I do not think this is correct. (See note for Jacob Willison). In the 1880 census Amanda has a younger brother, Jessy, that was one year old. She is listed as being 4. Later censuses show her with a birth year of 1879 but this must be an error. The month and day are from the family bible. The month agrees with the 1900 census. I will attempt to locate Amanda's birth records and verify her "real" birth date.
