Hello,

I sent a message earlier about my WILLIS family, and I stated that
Charles WILLIS was the son of John WILLIS, Jr. -- I meant JOHN WILLIS,
SR., who died 1715 in Richmond Co., VA, but was later King George Co.,
VA.

I found this deed and thought it might be my William WILLIS who moved
from Fauquier Co., VA to Barren Co., KY around 1808, with his wife's
(HANNAH SETTLE) family. Does anyone know anything about this family?
