Willis Abbott was married twice. Both wives had the first name of Sarah. So they are mistaken for the same person in the 1860 census. His first wife was Sarah “Sallie” (Wilson) Abbott. Some ancestry.com trees give their marriage date as 1846. She is said to have lived from about 1828 to 1865. She had five or six children with Willis Abbott before she died. Willis Abbott married his second wife Sarah (Francis) Smith Abbott in 1866. In the 1860 census Sarah Abbott, wife of Willis Abbott, is listed as 30 years old. In the 1870 Census, Sarah Abbott is listed as 23 years old. In later censuses, the second Sarah Abbott goes by her middle name “Francis.” The following shows that Willis Abbott’s first son, James Abbott, is the son of Sarah Wilson Abbott.
