Willis (4James, 3James, 2James, 1Edmund) Lewis of Spotsylvania Co VA
Willis Lewis was born in about 1757 in Spotsylvania Co VA. This Willis had a son named Tandy. From the 1776 Spotsylvania Co land record, we find Willis, his mother and father, and a Smyth Tandy linked in the record. This is a highly obscure connection. But, it is a beginning.
We need more research for this Willis Lewis.
