William & Mary College Quarterly July 22, 1789 Joseph Walker to Susannah Willis; sec., Zach. Alvis. Ellender Willis' letter of consent to dua's m'ge.

The Willis families seem to live along Willis Creek. I could not find anything on Ellender Willis!

Hi Nina;

It helps greatly to know that Nowlan family researchers usually identify Ellender Willis as nee Eleanor Nowlan. Many Nowlans were frontier pioneers. If this notion is correct, Susan's removal to the Roane County frontier makes more sense. The Zach Alvis connection seems significant as well. To date, I am unaware of any research to learn if any Nowlan or Alvis family appears alongside Walkers on the frontier. By the way, Alvis remains a common family name in portions of Goochland County, VA.
