Rebecca Sills (1844-1922), Wabash County, Indiana

Working on filling in some gaps in my database by utilizing the "Indiana Marriages, 1811-1959" database at Familysearch.org to see what updates and corrections I could find.

Rebecca Sills (1844-1922) was the daughter of George Sills and Mary Grimes.  Her second marriage to Henry Bussard on October 25, 1877 in Wabash County, Indiana was located in the database. Her first husband was Isaiah Landis.  Prior to the find, I did not have any documentation for their marriage.

Rebecca was Eileen's maternal 2nd-great grandaunt.  Her common ancestors were George Sills and Mary Grimes.  Rebecca died January 7, 1922 in Wells County, Indiana.
