Research Notes

  1. MUSCOGIANA: Journal of the Muscogee Genealogical Society -- VOLUME 19 Fall 2008 NUMBER 2. "A Family and a Church: The Willises and Bethel Baptist Church of Midland, Georgia, 1829-1894" By Hugh I. Rodgers [1] This publication provides details in the life of James Willis Sr. (1717-1798) who around 1800 moved with his children from North Carolina to Georgia. in this record his son James Jr. had mention of but one wife; Mary [unknown].
  2. References to a Mary Wilson and an Elizabeth Wilson (with some online profiles combining the two for "Mary Elizabeth Wilson") have either missing dates and places or have incorrect dates and no State or County references.[2][3] This is problematic for there are 8 or more James Willises in the South-East regions.
  3. Zachariah Willis' mother is cited as simply "Mary"; an affirmation or reference 1. above.[4] and [5]
