Samuel Willis (b.ca.1640/1660) immigrated from England to New Jersey during or before 1680, and married Mary Guest before 1682. Joseph Willis (ca.1680/1696-1752/1753), "...believed to be son of Samuel Willis and Mary Guest...," married Patience Thompson and lived in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. Nathaniel Purdue Willis (1852-1943) was a direct descendant of Joseph. Descendants of Joseph lived in New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana, Oklahoma and elsewhere.
