DNA

April 14, 2003

Family Tree DNA reported results for the first two Willises tested. The results confirmed paper evidence that John Willis, b. abt. 1732, East Bradford Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania, d. 1800, Franklin County, Virginia, was a brother of Isaiah Willis, b. abt. 1742, East Bradford Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania. Both John Willis and Isaiah Willis are sons of Henry Willis, b. abt. 1699, Thornbury Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania, d. 1761, Newberry Township, York County, Pennsylvania, who is a grandson of the American Quaker immigrant Henry Willis of Long Island, New York. The significance of this DNA match is that there is now a confirmed DNA baseline against which any other Willis can compare their own DNA test results to determine if they are related to Henry Willis of Long Island. [Five books have since been published on the ancestry and descendants of Henry Willis of Long Island by David W. Willis, the Administrator of this website. They include: Henry Willis of Long Island, Vol. 1: 1550 - 1800 (2008); Henry Willis of Long Island, Vol. 2: Northern Branches (2012); Henry Willis of Long Island, Vol. 3: Southern Ohio Branch (2013); Henry Willis of Long Island, Vol. 4: Isaiah Willis (2009); and Henry Willis of Long Island, Vol. 5: Other Branches (2010).]

   My gggg grandfather John Willis had a brother named Isaiah Willis (b. abt.1742 Chester County, PA, m. Catherine (last name unknown), d. aft. 1829, Franklin County, VA) who had at least five sons and at least two daughters. Isaiah moved to Halifax County, VA in 1764 and later lived in Franklin County, VA. At least three of his children - James, John, and David - lived in nearby Montgomery County, VA.
