Hi Helen,

My wife is descended from one Joseph Willis. Specifically Joseph Willis
(1790-1860), of Friendship, Caroline County, MD, son of Robert & Sarah
(Rumbold) Willis. He married his cousin Dorcas Willis, daughter of Richard &
Britannia (Gootee/Gouty/etc) Willis in 1816, both Joseph & Dorcas were
grandchildren of Richard Willis (d. 1764) and wife Rebecca Granger.

Parker
