Notes for John Innis
The earliest information I have on the Ennis ancestry of this research begins with George Ennis, believed to be the father of our known Ennis forefather, William (Billy) Ennis. George reportedly immigrated to Fredericksburg, Virginia, from Edinburgh, Scotland. The verification on the link from George to William is only verbal, at this time—cousins Melanie Ennis and Patty Ennis Coons have both shared that their parents related to them the family connection.
The first probable sign of William (Billy D.) Ennis is in the Stafford County (adjacent to Fredricksburg County), Virginia tax list. In 1787 and 1789, William Innis is a white male over 21 with no dependents. It was after this time frame that William Ennis began his family.
Through miscellaneous records, documentary evidence is available to confirm William Ennis as an ancestral grandfather. One record is a Nelson County, VA Deed of Trust, discovered by Loretta Midkiff and Carol Beattie that names the wife of William as Fannie. Taking this further, Melba Purkey discovered that William Ennis married Frances Martin on 27 Jan 1795 in Albemarle County, VA. Additionally, another Deed record and the Will abstract of Sherrod Martin, verifies the Martin and Ennis family ties.
