Hi Parker,

You have, at your website:

416. Richard Willis, Sr. (d. 1764) (son)
832. John Willis (d. 1764) (father)

Did both the father & son die in the same year?

I looked for the Will of Richard & John WILLIS in "Maryland Calendar
Of Wills," 1764-1767. I found the Will of John WILLIS on pg. 57 & 58
but could not find a Will for Richard or his name on page 58. Yet, in
the index it has Richard WILLIS listed as being on pg. 58. Have they
made a mistake & not put Richard's Will in the book? Or does this mean
Richard was named in his father's Will, they made a mistake & forgot
to add Richard's name to his father's Will or both? On the other hand,
maybe they put the wrong page # in the index for Richard?

I'm totally confused -- which really isn't anything new, since I
have spent half my life doing genealogy research! :)

It is great having nice people, like yourself, giving me feedback
or else it just might come to this: Picture the headlines --
Woman Goes Out On A Limb & Jumps From Her Family TREE Down
On The Eastern Shore of Maryland!!!

Thanks! :)

Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS)
