Hey, Robyn, Saw your e-mail and noticed you were connected to the WILLIS clan. My great-grandmother was Martha Jean WILLIS (1858-1914). She descends from a Thomas WILLIS, b. ca. 1734, d. before 8 February, 1794, in Rowan County, North Carolina, USA. I don't know his birthplace; it may've been North Carolina, Virginia, or England. Does that date and name fit with any of your data? Would love to hear from a 'Strine' cousin. Bob Cook, Florida, USA << GreystokeB@aol.com >>
