This source has an Ann Lee - not Ann Willis - as born 30 Jan. 1734 (transcription of bible information provided to the editor). In introducing the list, the editor's notes says, in part: "It has been supposed that Anne Willis, who married Greene, was a full sister of Col. Lewis Willis, but this record appears to prove the contrary. There were also two John Willises living at the same time. It was not unusual at this time to give two children the same name." The two John Willises were the sons by Henry Willis's first and second wives. The entry for Ann Lee is the beginning of numerous Lees (children of Henry's daughter Mary, by his first wife).
