Notes
a. Note:   !BIRTH: The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, Vol. XV, No. 4, October 1884, p. 173. Gives the birth date of John as 6 January 1668. However, when comparing other birthdates within the Willis family, particularly that of the father (q.v.), it would appear that the author of the Willis article probably used a record with the Quaker dating system, and mistook "1st month" for January, rather than March. The birth months of John's father and brother William, which are quoted both in NYG&BR, and in Hinshaw's "Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy" differ by exactly two months in each publication. !NOTE: William Henry Egle ed.,, "Early Pennsylvania Land Records, Minutes of the Board of Property of the Provice of Pennsylvania" (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Company, 1976), p. 273, Minute Book "G" 1701: "....Deed dated 30th 7ber 1692....John Willis, Son of Henry Willis, who is now seated in said land...." !MARRIAGE: Gilbert Cope & Janetta Wright Schoonover, "A History of William Brinton" (Trenton, New Jersey, 1925), pp. 106-108 and next page Gives a copy of the will of William Brinton, dp. 1 December 1700 at Philadelphia. Names daughter "Esther Willis the wife of John Willis." !DEATH: Chester Co., Pa. Wills, Vol. 2, p. 186, John Willis, dp. 16 August 1745. !WILL: Chester Co., Pa. Wills, Vol. 2, p. 186, written 28 March 1745, dp. 16 August 1745; names wife Esther; son Benjamin; son Henry; daughter Mary the wife of John Wall; Joseph Webb, "the husband of my daughter Ann in her lifetime"; son John Willis' son John; daughter Esther the wife of Stephen Foulk; children of son Edward; and daughter Sarah the wife of Thomas Ward.
