John and Nancy (Winfry?) Willis are my ggg grandparents. John Willis died 20 Dec., 1855 in an accident in Washington Co., VA and is buried in the Davis Cemetery there. He is the son of Abner (Absolom?) and Eve Willis. The Russell Co., VA Bios posted by William "Bill" Willis of the Willis family include my family. Nancy Willis, widow of John, married Allen Fleenor 25 Nov., 1873 in Washington Co., VA. Allen had lost his wife, Sarah Hobbs. Elizabeth d/o Allen and Sarah Fleenor had married Henry Dickenson Willis, s/o John and Nancy Willis. The marriage license for Nancy Willis to Allen Fleenor shows she was born in Russell Co., VA - parents unnamed. In the Unfiled Death Records of Washington Co., VA 1865-1896 there is a Nancy Fleener (Fleenor?) white, female, died 03 Jan., 1893 of old age (82 yrs) in Kinderhook Dist. Her parents are shown as Joseph & Betty Winfry. Informant was Wash Cunningham listed as "friend", mother was listed as consort, "presuming mother of Mary Jane". Since Washington Browning Cunningham married Mary Jane Willis, d/o John and Nancy Willis it is my "belief" that this is my ggg grandmother, Nancy Winfry Willis Fleenor. John and Nancy's daughter, Martha Willis married William Wood and they are my gg grandparents. Wash had put Washington Co., VA as birthplace for Nancy (she had lived there all the time he would have known her) but "believe" that birthplace ~ Russell Co., VA on marriage license would be correct. Has anyone ever run into or researched a Jospeh and Betty Winfry family in Russell Co., VA? I am also in the Musick family through the parents of William Wood who is the s/o John and Mary Musick Wood, married in Washington Co., VA 19 March, 1813. The only Mary Musick that I can connect to (age and place) is Polly Parsonette b June 27, 1795 to James and Jane Wright Musick. I have not been able to either prove or disprove this. Elizabeth Musick, who would be sister of Polly Parsonette, married Isaac Gobble. John Wood, Jr. married Elizabeth Gobble, d/o Isaac and Elizabeth Musick Gobble. We "believe" that he is the son of John and Mary Musick Wood. That would have made cousins marrying, not unusual in the Gobble family. John Wood, Jr and Elizabeth"Betsie" Gobble Wood died in Decatur Co., Iowa. Death record for John shows he was born in VA, death record for "Betsie" shows she is the d/o Isaac and Elizabeth "Betsie" Musick Gobble. I have looked everywhere I could think of but cannot find the Winfry family. Zelda "Marguerette" Powell
