Descendants of Willis Progenitor-195331

Fourth Generation


6. Major-Gen HEICo Adjutant Willis Richard Augustus-58451 (Richard , Richard , Progenitor ) was born in 1778/1783 in Constantinople. He died in 1847.

He seems also to have drs Elizabeth Anne and Maria, not sure which is which here. Is his father - Richard Willis of Forbes and Co? Iseke says his line goes back several more generations. In 1814 he is Town Adjutant of Bombay. Not in Hodson list? Per Iseke and a London researcher Tony Fuller, one of the Richard Augustus Willis (plural of them) may be son of a Richard Willis and Maria Claire, this Maria Claire possibly has a son Constantine, and this Richard seems to be in Instanbul as part of Levant/Turkey trade. Iseke corrects, he seems to be son of a Richard Willis (Of Forbes?). Willis family tree per Iseke. He is Town Adjutant in Bombay. He seems to be George Inglis from info per Patricia Iseke. Could he be any link to Richard Willis ancestor of Patricia Iseke a partner in Forbes and Co of Bombay in first half of C19th? Burke's LG for Chapman formerly of Whitby. Inglis/Willis family tree per Iseke.

Richard married Brown Agnes-4773 daughter of Planter, linguist Brown Murdoch-62822 and Conjectural King Eliza-59225 in 1809 in Fort St George, Madras.

Iseke maybe thinks she is an Agnes Forbes? See info and Inglis/Willis family tree per Patricia Iseke.
