Defect 1 [19 August 2017]
Both George Wallis' appear to be the same. RolandHenryBakerIII Comments -
- "...this is the same person described in Savage 4:401. Aaron Goodwin, Paricia Hatcher, FASG and Michael Leclerc also think that George Wallis of Portsmouth was the 15 year old passenger on the Abigail with his father Ralph Wallis in 1635. See The Ancestry of Helen Marion (Locke) Wright (2011). Robert Anderson, FASG objects to this identification based on the absence of George and Ralph Wallis from New England records for a number of years [GM2:7:208]. However, I don't think Anderson examined the fact that George and Ralph Wallis were in Newfoundland [see GDMNH] which explains there absence for several years."
- The way GDMNH reads, he was "sometime of Newfoundland" at the time he bought land in 1660: "Sometime of Newfoundland, he bot at Little Harbor from James Johnson in 1660, in div. of 1661 he and Johnson together had 112 a." Which sounds like the description of himself from a deed, and presuming that is so, since this is after the 1656 deed when he was "now resident in New England", doesn't really seem to indicate anything about the time period from 1635-1656 when Anderson says no records can be found to establish continuity with the passenger of the Abigail. --Jrich 14:30, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
