This site is about the genealogy of my family. Most of The early Willis' are from Lee Co. Va. and the surrounding areas. The earliest is Joseph Willis and is from the Blackwater area of Lee Co. He married Matilda Lawson from Hawkins Co. Tn. I believe I know who Joseph's parents are. This information is from Velma Rogers work. But, I don't have any concrete proof All information on this site is from internet research, so some may be wrong. I try to verify but, not always able to. If you have any corrections please send them. I am in the process of redoing my gedcom file. I hope to have that back on line shortly I hope you find some information that will help in your genealogy research.
