I have went through the Willis Family Tree information and only found one connection and that was through Ida Williams, and back through the Belchers to Pocahontas. Is that the only link to Pocahontas? Or are there more? Please let me know.

My Willis family seems to be lost. Just a little history where we came from.
My mother, Jennie Hazel Willis was born in Morton County Kansas in 1914. Her father was Benjamin Franklin Willis, and he was born in the Miami Valley area of Ohio (Greene, Miami, Montgomery County area.)
Benjamin's father was Joseph Willis, born in Ohio (can't find where yet). Joseph's father was Joseph Williss, and he suppossedly was born in England or at sea.
Joseph Sr. was married to Eleanor Montgomery.
Joseph Jr. was first married to Minerva Thornbourgh, then later to Sarah Curtis.
Joseph and Sarah were in Deshler, Henry County Ohio in the 1880 Census.
Joseph died sometime after 1883, and Sarah married George Lindley in Deshler, Henry County.
Ggrandma Sarah was on the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma Territory, along with George Lindley and grandpa Benjamin Willis for the 1900 Federal census, but by 1910 they were in Morton County Kansas.
Also, in 1870, Ggrandpa Joseph Wi Click here to read more ...
