There is additional information available in the Biographical and Genealogical History of Morris and Sussex Counties New Jersey about John Wills and his extended family. In 18361130LCC_MJS1, LCC writes that "Wills over heat himself in the field, & M— was invited in to see him, his Father said to him after the surprise was over, My Son: take example by G— he never hurts himself, with such a knowing look they never lose any opportunity of trying to put him down —" John and Martha were lived near her parents at this time, and John's father, Thomas Wills, had died April 8, 1814. The reference is likely to John W. Leddel, and G refers to GWS.
