    3. In Washington Co., VA William Wood, son of John and Mary Music (Musick) Wood married Martha Willis, daughter of John and Nancy (?) Willis. John Willis died in 1855 and is buried in Davis Cemetery next to "infant" Willis s/o John and Nancy Willis. In 1860 WA CO, VA census Nancy Willis is living next door to William and Martha Willis Wood. In the 1870 census she is living with Wash and Mary J. Willis Cunningham. My sister recently purchased "Washington County, Virginia marriages 1853-1880 by Thomas Colley. In it are two marriages that interested me VERY MUCH!! Note: Eddie, I "believe" I may have suddenly developed an interest in the Fleenor family. The two marriages are: 1. Fleenor, Allen & Nancy Willis; 25, Nov 1873 (G) 63y; wid; b and res. WCV; occupation blank s/o Benj. & Sarah Fleenor (B) 57 y; wid; b Russell County; res, WCV; (parents unnamed) (M) Jonathan Gobble I "believe" this could be my ggg grandmother, Nancy Willis, mother of my gg grandmother, Martha Willis Wood. How I wish that her parents had been named. She named one of her sons Hopkins, we have wondered if that was a family name. 2. Willis, Henry Dikenson (Dickerson?) & Elizabeth Fleenor; 21 Jan., 1858 (G) 21y 29d; Sgl; b. Russell Co., VA; res WCV; farmer; s/o John and Nancy Willis (B) 19y 9m 26d; Sgl; b. and res WCV; d/o Allen and Sarah Fleenor (M) James Fleenor It looks like from these 2 marriages that Elizabeth Fleemor's father, Allen married Henry Dickerson Willis's mother, Nancy after deaths of their mates. There is a wonderful book if you are going to research Washington Co., VA that is a must. It is "High on a Windy Hill" by Catherine Sanders McConnell. There are so many Fleenors in it that I may have missed them but didn't find them in it. Would be interesed in any of the family of Allen Fleenor or whereabouts of Nancy (?) Willis Fleenor, his second wife. Marguerette
