Notes for Thomas (Spouse 1)
(1) Sir Thomas Willis [this is the man who people claim is the Virginia immigrant], bp. 6 Sep. 1612, was aged 72 in 1684, when he gave information for the Visitation of Cambridge, and died 17 Nov. 1701, aged 87. He married Anne Wild, daughter and coheiress of Sir John Wildeby Anne Honeywood. He was created a Baronet 15 Dec. 1641, but his male issue eventually became extinct. His eldest son, Thomas, aged 2 in 1634, died without issue. (Sir Thomas had six sons and seven daughters.)
