MARGARET WILLIS4 (Mary Brett3, Elihu2, William1), born Bridgewater September 15, 1704; married July 4, 1733, Nathaniel5 Harvey, son of Nathaniel4 (Thomas3, Thomas2, Thomas1) Harvey, who was born in Taunton about 1673, and was member of the First Military Company of Taunton in 1700. Nathaniel5 was born 1705-06, and died 1801, "aged 94." Elizabeth Willis married a Thomas Harvey, but conflicting records make it impossible to tell which Thomas it was. Probably she was grandmother of this Nathaniel. They lived in Bridgewater where their children were born.

Children (Harvey):
(72) i. DAVID, born 1735; married Content Byram.
(73) ii. NATHANIEL, born 1744; married Bethia Hayward.

NOTE: THE STATMENT ABOVE THAT "PROBABLY SHE WAS THE GRANDMOTHER OF THE NATHANIEL" IS KNOWN TO BE INCORRECT. It is now widely accepted that Elizabeth Willis Married Thomas Harvey b. 1641 and she oul be a first cousin 2x removed in-law of Nathaniel.
