Descendants of Adam Moses 09/02/2008

      51. Albert Jennings⁵ Moses (Samuel Ferris⁴, Peter³, Johann Adam², Johann Peter¹) was born May 10, 1810, and died July 26, 1844. He married Nancy 'Ann' Yancey January 08, 1833 in Halifax County, Virginia. She was born May 09, 1810 in Halifax County, Virginia, and died July 16, 1893 in Tennessee.

Notes for Nancy 'Ann' Yancey:
Nancy is assumed to be the daughter of Phillip Yancey and Priscilla Carlton, but there is some uncertainty as to whether this is true. If she is Phillip's daughter, then she descends from the Charles Yancey branch, rather than my own ancestral line of Yanceys from Lewis Davis Yancey. [Most of Phillip's children adopted the spelling Yancy.]

      52. Louisa Smith⁵ Moses (Samuel Ferris⁴, Peter³, Johann Adam², Johann Peter¹) was born 1812 in Charlotte County, Virginia, and died Aft. 1880. She married William Willis September 28, 1840 in Charlotte County, Virginia. He was born Abt. 1793 in South Carolina, and died Bef. 1880.

Could this be for Samuel's daughter Louisa?

Marriage Index: KY, NC, TN, VA, WV, 1728-1850

Willis, William      Spouse : Moses, Louisa Smith
      Marriage date : Sep 28, 1840

Charlotte County, VA

Notes for William Willis:
Marriage Index: KY, NC, TN, VA, WV, 1728-1850

Willis, William      Spouse : Dabbs, Lucy M.
      Marriage date : Mar 13, 1817

Marriage Notes for Louisa Moses and William Willis:
1) Marriage Index: KY, NC, TN, VA, WV, 1728-1850

Willis, William      Spouse : Moses, Louisa Smith
      Marriage date : Sep 28, 1840

(Charlotte County, VA)

Note: I have no actual proof that this Louisa Moses is Samuel's daughter, but the facts seem to fit.

Addendum: Proof has been found in the form of a list of children from Samuel's will. Daughter Louisa is listed there as "Louisa S. Willis".

2) It seems to be the case that William Willis was married previously, and that his daughter Paulina J. Willis is a child of that first marriage.

3) 1850 Census for Prince Edward County, VA:

Wm            Willis, 57, M, (Occupation = " = Confectioner), born in SC (South Carolina ??)
Louisa            ", 32, F, born in Charlotte (Charlotte County)

Children of Louisa Moses and William Willis are:

168

Paulina J.⁶ Willis, born Abt. 1834 in Prince Edward County, Virginia; died Unknown.

Notes for Paulina J. Willis:
It's quite likely that Paulina J. Willis is the step-daughter of Louisa Smith Moses.

169

ii.

Samuel M. Willis, born Abt. 1844 in Prince Edward County, Virginia; died Unknown.

Notes for Samuel M. Willis:
1) Perhaps Samuel's middle initial stands for Moses?
