Born 1805, place unknown; died 15 May 1855, Grande Ronde, Polk Co., Oregon; parents unknown.
Married: /before 1827 to Israel Clark, place unknown; he was born 1801; died unknown place in Oregon.
Children:
1. Elizabeth Clark, born ca 1827, Fountain Co. IN; married John Roberts (Robarts), 25 Dec 1849, Johnson Co., Iowa; died 1868, Oregon (my gr.gr.gr.grandmother)
2. Dr. Clark, died 15 May 1855 with his mother Hannah Willis Clark. They were killed by a Tillamook Indian and the cabin burned over them in an attempt to destroy the evidence. The Indian was caught and lynched; it almost set off a war in Oregon between the Whites and the Indians. I have documents and a write up from a local paper and the Oregonian Newspaper concerning the incident. Unknown Clark mentioned in the above articles as being with his father when the Indian was arrested and was one of the guards over the Indian. Is highly suspected of aiding in the lynching.

The following submitted by GaryH117@aol.com

In the mid 1720s, William and Robert Willis appear in Goochland Co., VA in the Tuckahoe Creek area. This county was formed in 1727 from Henrico where they had previously resided. Brothers?, Father/Son? Lack of necessary records make it difficult to sort out the family. It does appear they had connections with other families who had lived or were living in King William, New Kent and Hanover Counties, VA. In that area, Francis appears by 1681 and later an Edward. By 1705 are found William and Stephen and eventually Robert. But the riddle of their genealogy has not been resolved. Some seem to have been artisans engaged in carpentry, shoemaking, coopering and the like. Our progenitor, Henry Willis, first appears in Goochland County records in 1748. How long he had been a resident or if he had been born there is unknown. Whether he had just moved there or had just become a tithable is uncertain. If the latter was the case, he would have been born 1731/32. Not much is known of William except that he was a resident in 1731 and 1740 and had a son, William, Jr. One of them was an overseer on the plantation of William Mayo. More is known of Robert, (son of Robert(?)), who married Mary Price and later Agnes, whose surname is unknown. He died about 1749. His children were: Robert Willis married Hellender Nailine; Zene Willis married A. Hix; Anne Price Willis; Betty Willis married Henry Hicks(?); William Willis; Price Willlis; Williamson Willis. There may have been others. He was a carpenter. David Willis appears in Goochland records in 1743; he died ca 1749. He had sons Edward and William and possibly a daughter, Jemima who married John Woodall. He worked as a shoemaker. He is believed to have been a kinsman of Edward (ca 1660-1735) of Hanover County. Other Willises appear briefly in the records before moving on to other parts. They were Richard, Thomas, Edward, Major. So the ancestry of Henry Willis is questionable. Was it William? Was it Robert? David does not seem likely. In 1762, when Henry sold his land on Tuckahoe Creek, Edward Willis (probably son of David) witnessed. When he arrived in Orange Co., NC, some children of Robert, resided there but they didn't stay long, moving on to SC and GA.
