Willis-9532 and Willis-611 appear to represent the same person because: One and the same person married to Edward Newton, and children are known by name in his will

Yes and so is my later entry: Willis-10750, I have her parents, but not yet entered here. I'd propose a merger to 611, but I'm not sure that Frances Cannon was her daughter, though she was Edward Newton's. Part of the difficulty is the practice, particularly of the Quakers, of making no distinction between children and step-children or adoptees in wills. She's mentioned in her father Richard Willis will of 20 Oct 1689 and in Richard's widow Frances Willis Fisher's will of 29 Feb 1723/4 proved 7 May 1729 as Frances Cannon.

I have will's for all, and have done a lot of research on their real property. The preponderance of multiple marriages in this branch of my family has taught me to be cautious in assuming biological relationships. Don Brearley
