Kelly,
Harvy was the son of Michael Jr. (b. 8 Jun 1850) & Nancy (Baughman) Slentz.The Willis comes into your father's name through Michael Sr. & his second wife, Deborah (Willis) Slentz.I believe that Michael's first wife was Deborah's sister, Eliza Willis.Some of Michael Sr's siblings also married into the Willis Family.
I descend through Michael's 3rd wife, Margaret (Haggerty), who was a widow of William Noragon.Margaret had a daughter, Belle, with William, along with several children from William's first marriage, Michael had them all living in his household in the 1880 census.I did not find them in the 1900 census.
I am originally from Van Buren County, Michigan, and have several photo's of the graves there.
