The first mention of a “Willis” comes after King Edward III (13 November 1312 – 21 June 1377) as “Wylley.” The spelling then progresses to Wylls, Willes, Wyllys and finally Willis.

Richard Wyllys was born around 1533 in England, a son of William Wyllys (c.1512-1598) and Anna Clarke Wyllys (c.1516-1536). Richard married a Blount. In 1582, they had a son, Thomas Willis (1582-1660), in Fenny Compton, Warwickshire, England. Later, Richard married a Blouset (1543-?) and had a child.
