Note:
The following data was received, via email, from Taun Willis (TaunWillis@hotmail.com), 14 March 2000 and is reprinted here with his permission.
---"Thomas Willis who married Mary, of (first) Lancaster Parish, then later Christ Church Parish, Middlesex Virginia was definitely not the son of Richard Willis and Jane Henmarsh. In the genealogical library of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Mesa, AZ, there is a large microfilm record of a collection of hand written Willis pedigrees recorded in England, which clearly identifies Richard Willis and Jane Henmarsh's family, their children, etc. Also, I found a printed book in the State Capital building archives here in Arizona of "extinct nobilities" which also has information on this same family. There are no Willises living today who can claim descent from this couple. They were of the minor nobility in England, (baronets), and the male line died out within two generations following their deaths. Richard Willis and Jane Henmarsh had several sons with similar names, including a Thomas who married Anne Wild(e) and they did have children, but the names, birthdates, marriages, etc. of those children are completely different from what we know about Thomas and Mary's family. In addition, since this family was of the minor nobility in England, their pedigrees were well recorded. Richard and Jane had several sons, two of which also had sons, but that is where the male line ended. At that time, according to these records, their baronet titles became extinct.
---I have found several references to "Thomas who married Mary" as being the son of a "William Willis of Gloucester", Virginia. When I then checked the family of William Willis of Gloucester, I discovered that he did indeed have a son named Thomas. Also, since Gloucester Parish later formed the backbone of Lancaster Parish, where Thomas and Mary are known to have originated, this supports this pedigree. Lancaster Parish later split to form Christ Church Parish. I have obtained a copy of the Vestry Book of Christ Church Parish (not the same thing as the parish record book everyone else has read), and there are frequent references to Christ Church Parish being formed from Lancaster Parish. Also, in an earlier Vestry Book of the parish at Gloucester, there are a few references to the establishment of another parish, probably Lancaster Parish. William Willis is also identified as belonging to that Gloucester Parish.
---William, whose wife may have been named Mary (or Pauline? - I'm researching this), was the son of a Henry Willis described as being the "brother of Francis." Thus, this Henry Willis is known to have had a brother Francis. There is a well known Henry Willis whom the records record was the brother of Francis, Jr., the same Francis, Jr. "who returned to England leaving a brother, Henry, behind in America." There can be little doubt that this is the same Henry. Henry and his brother Francis, Jr. were sons of Francis, Sr., who never came to America. His line can be traced in English pedigree records.
---So, I believe this is the correct pedigree. I am continuing to verify this, but the dates, circumstances, parish records and familial names are consistent and support this pedigree.
---By the way, Thomas and Mary had at least three sons, Richard, Gent., Thomas Jr., and John. Richard, Gent. married three times and died childless leaving his estate to the son of his sister Elleanor (which you know). John lived to about age 30 and died without any mention of children. Thomas, Jr. is known to have married and lived to old age since he is mentioned on later parish records as being an elderly ward of the parish. Thus, I believe Thomas and Mary's son, Thomas, Jr. was the father of Richard who married Marthy, who were the parents of Rev. Joseph Willis. I don't know if your line connects into these later people, but I thought I would clear this up since there is a misconception that Rev. Joseph's father, Richard and the Richard, Gent. mentioned earlier are the same individual. They are not. The Richard, Gent. is the uncle of Richard who married Marthy.
---Also, that vestry book I mention contains a very interesting reference to Richard and his sister Elleanor. When Elleanor became pregnant out of wedlock, she was condemned by the parish vestrymen. Based on what I have read in this volume about similar situations at the parish, this could have had devastating consequences for Elleanor and her child, including banishment or death, if the 12 vestrymen had so ordered. More often than not, the matter seemed to have been resolved if a large fine was paid on the condemned's behalf to the church. The 12 vestrymen, including her own brother, Thomas Jr., ordered that a fine be levied. Elleanor's brother, Richard, then paid the fine in the form of a large quantity of cultivated tobacco to redeem her and her child. They were obviously very close since Richard later left his estate to her son."---

There is also a theory that Thomas Willis may have had another daughter named Jane, who married Thomas Kidd. When Thomas Kidd died, his Will dated 28 May 1680, appointed Richard Willis and John Willis to be overseers of his estate and his son Thomas Kidd to be guardian to his minor children - William, baptized in Christ Church, Middlesex Co., VA; Jane, baptized 12 Jan 1677; and Mary, baptism date not known. It is reasonable that son Thomas may have been from a previous marriage. Willis land lay near Kidd land in the area of the Dragon Swamp in Middlesex Co., VA, thus, researchers have inferred that Jane was a sister to Richard and John. Jane was said to have been born ca 1653 and to have married Thomas Kidd ca 1669. Neither of these dates are documented, although the marriage date is inferred from the dates of the children's births. It is documented that, after Thomas Kidd's death, Jane married Robert Blackley and they had two children, Robert, baptized 20 Oct 1684 and John, baptized 24 July 1687).
