!REFERENCE: 23-Mar-2022 email from Shirley Edillon to Don Braffitt, "The Family search site has two warnings/data problems. So I am assuming that her death info is incorrect or is another person. I wonder if Francis Willis could have been married previously??? Nancy was about 29 when she had her first child, but, he was younger than she was so this is highly doubtful. And I find no connection to Fairfax. There is no town in Fairfax County named Mason. I am puzzled as to where this information originated. It looks problematic to me at this time. They were living in Rappahannock County where they executed a deed. Deed Book A, page 319, Rappahannock Co., VA -
Francis Willis and his wife Nancy, deeded to Patsey Lillard and her present heirs of Rappahannock County, land bounded by property of Elizabeth Hensley, Augustine Bradley, Jr., Alexander Rider, deceased, and Leftage Lillard.  Dated march 31, 1834.  And son Charles B. Willis was born 04 June 1836. in Rappahannock County, VA. Nancy is my ancestor's sister."
