Suggested edit: info I have in my notes on her. But I can't remember where I got them:
Henry [Harry] WILLARD and Elizabeth had 11 children.
They came to Russell County, VA ca 1787 and owned land there in 1791.
They sold this land and moved to Breckenridge County, KY. On the census rolls in 1810.

"The following information is taken from the Willard Family History website:
- Elizabeth Counts and Henry "Harry" Willard (ca 1760-ca 1820), both of Hawksbill Creek, married about 1785.
- In about 1787, they migrated southwest to Russell County, settling on the Clinch River in Glade Hollow.
- By 1790, much of Elizabeth's family had joined them.
- Their son Martin was born there in 1793 and his brother, Henry, Jr., was born there in 1801, along with perhaps three girls.
1 February 1791, Henry surveyed 68 acres on the south side of Copper Ridge (in Russell Co. 5 miles south of the Clinch River, abt 3 miles SSE of Castlewood).
18 March 1791, Joseph and Susannah Kiser conveyed to Henry Willard 25 acres on the Clinch River (deed recorded 22 October 1791), where Martin was born in 1793.
1795, Henry owned 75 acres in Russell Co, Va.
11 March 1798, Henry and Elizabeth sold their 35 acres on the Clinch River in Russell Co, Va. to Abraham Childress.
Elizabeth and Henry moved again, possibly after the death of her father, John Counts, in 1803. They moved to northwest Kentucky into Breckinridge County, where another son, James, was born in 1804. The 1810 Kentucky census shows the family with eight daughters and three sons.
Probably between 1817 and 1819, the family moved again, north over the Ohio River to Indiana. It's uncertain where they lived exactly, however, it's likely that it was in the corridor of Spencer-Perry-Crawford-Harrison counties on the southern border of Indiana. There are several family stories of Martin and James wrestling and splitting rails with Abraham Lincoln, probably in Spencer County.
Harry Willard probably died before 1820 in Indiana. Elizabeth may have lived ten years longer. Martin and James were in Cape Girardeau County, Missouri in 1830 and had an older woman living with them, who may have been Elizabeth. If so, she probably died in Missouri.
Because there were other Martin Willards living nearby, the number, names and birth order of all of Elizabeth and Henry Willard's children is unclear, however the three boys, John Counts' grandsons, are well documented.
