Offsite Internet Links Open in New Windows!

Over the years I have found a number of locations with family names. Some are named after known relatives.

Places Named FOLLIS

Follistown was a civil parish with 137 citizens in 1837 and 3,500 citizens in 1881 near Dublin, Ireland in northern County Meath in the Barony of Skreen indicating either a large number of FOLLIS families where living there or there was a prominent FOLLIS family for which the parish was named. In 1839 it was known by the Catholic Parish name Jonestown. An 1851 census first showed Folistown Poor Law Union Dunshaughlin also in County Meath in the Dunboyne Parish and Follisllagh on an 1885 atlas of County Galway.

Follis Cemetery near Johnson City and West Frankfort, Franklin County, Illinois. Unknown at this time if related.

FOLLIS Chapel Gibson County, Tennessee. Located on U.S. Highway 54 southwest of Trenton south of McMurray Road and north of Edison Frog Jump Road. North of Frog Jump,Tennessee. (what a fantastic mailing address!) A William B. FOLLIS is buried here but unknown if he is related.

In Toronto, Canada there is a street named FOLLIS click to see photo by Jason FOLLIS of Canada. He has a weird story about the difference between FOLLIS with an "O" and FALLIS with an "A".

Finnstown House and Castle in Ireland had a widowed owner who married a Rev. FOLLIS who died in February 1925 according to story 10 on their web page.

Places named FALLAS

FALLASBURG Covered Bridge in Fallasburg, Kent County, Michigan in Fallasburg County Park. Settled by brothers John W. and Silas S. FALLAS in 1839 from New York, so unknown if related. They have the FALLAS Cemetery with WH born in Boston, Massachusetts. There were FALLIS and FOLLIS relatives in Michigan at this time, just not these brothers. Thanks to distant cousin Jay FOLLIS of Michigan for the original link.

Places named FALLIS

Fallis Craighead County, near Jonesboro Arkansas

FALLIS Cemetery in Mount Sterling, Switzerland County, Indiana. The web site only shows 2 of what appears to at least a dozen or so tombstones. Samuel FALLIS and Rebecca ADAMS are buried there, along with son George Washington FALLIS and wife and their son George M. FALLIS and wife. Samuel was a first cousin to my fourth great-grandfather Isaac FALLIS of Greene County, Ohio.

FALLIS, Henry County, Kentucky, FALLIS Creek see click maps and the former FALLIS post office in FALLIS, Henry County, Kentucky near Brown's Bottom, Gratz and Montery. Apparently named for descendants of George FALLIS, son of Isaac and Susanna MARTIN FALLIS, a first cousin of my Jacob FALLIS. A post office seal book indicates there should be letters in collections that would contain the Fallis Kentucky seal and would be nice to have for this web site and my files if anyone has seen or found one. I assume this FALLIS family is buried in the Fallis - Bryant - Knox Cemetery near Pleasureville.

Fallis in Jefferson County, Kentucky, no information. My gr-gr-gr-gr-grandfather Isaac FALLIS of Greene County, Ohio was in the 1810 Federal Census when this was a much larger county.

FALLIS PIONEER CEMETERY

Located on the southwest corner of the 160 acre pioneer farm of my great-great-great-great-grandfather Isaac FALLIS about 3 miles northwest of Bellbrook, Green County, Ohio. In 1968 eleven inscriptions were recorded, it was fenced and overgrown with most markers down. It is just over a mile east of exit 7 on I - 675 on the southeast side of Dayton, Ohio and will soon be a part of Dayton as it continues to swallow the countryside. There are 7 tombstones listing 11 people and another 20 or so foot stones and field stones marking an unknown number of burial locations.

Go to my page for photographs of Fallis, Lincoln County, Oklahoma, Fallis Road and FALLIS Post Office. Oklahoma Territory was opened for homesteading in 1889, with statehood in 1907. Originally named Mission, it was renamed in 1894 for its first postmaster William H. Fallis. William Henry FALLIS may also have been a county Judge. In 1870 he was a hotel keeper in Lawrence County, Missouri. In 1880 a grocer in Joplin, Missouri. There is also a FALLIS Cemetery from 1893 with no FALLIS' that I know of.
