The surname of Wallis for William Comegys 2nd wife Elizabeth isn't proven but is assumed on circumstantial evidence. Henry Wallis, the assumed father, was in Maryland by 1 Jan 1686/7 when he purchased the tract Boothbies Fortune. Nothing has been discovered to place Samuel Wallis in the Maryland colony prior to 4 Sep 1702. Family tradition is that he was brought to Maryland by William Comegys about 1700. Starting in 1704 William Comegys and Samuel Wallis began many joint land transactions for their mutual benefit. Cornelius Comegys, Elizabeth's 3rd known child, named his first son, born 19 Sep 1725, Henry. At that time Henry wasn't a Comegys name but rather a Wallis name. These circumstances lead to the conclusion that Elizabeth is a daughter of Henry Wallis and that Samuel Wallis and William Comegys were brother-in-laws.
