HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF MEDFORD, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, FROM ITS FIRST SETTLEMENT, IN 1630, TO THE PRESENT TIME, 1855. (ed. Charles Brooks), chapter 18 (search)
foregoing are all that can be found on our Medford records; but there are two branches probably connected, which I desire to record.   Benjamin Willis m. Ann Gammell, of Medford, and was probably connected with the Medford branch; very likely as son of Benjamin (13). He was killed at Louisburg, leaving a son,--   Benjamin, b. Jan. 10, 1743, who m. Mary Ball, of Charlestown, Oct. 3, 1766, and had--    Benjamin, b. Mar., 1768;father of Hon. William Willis, of Portland.   Mary, b. Dec. 13, 1774.   Ann, b. Aug. 24, 1778.   Elizabeth B., b. June 27, 1782.   Robert B., b. Mar. 15, 1784.   Hon. William Willis has kindly furnished me with these facts, and is better informed on the genealogy of the family than any person now living. His antiquarian taste has found this a welcome field for research.   Charles Willis, in all probability a brother of the forementioned Benjamin, m. Anna Ingols, 1727, and had--   Charles, b. Aug. 21, 1728.   Anna, b. Dec. 29, 1731.

The heirs of Borland and the widow Vassall succeeded to the ownership of their estates in Cambridge; but several houses and stores in Boston, formerly belonging to Borland, were advertised by the agents of the Commonwealth to be leased at auction, March 1, 1780. General Brattle conveyed all his real estate in Cambridge, Dec. 13, 1774, to his only surviving son, Major Thomas Brattle, and died in Halifax, N. S., October, 1776. By the persevering efforts of Mrs. Katherine Wendell, the only surviving daughter of General Brattle, the estate was preserved from confiscation, and was recovered by Major Brattle after his return from Europe,—having been proscribed in 1778, and having subsequently exhibited satisfactory evidence of his friendship to his country and its political independence.
