  2. [S1047] George I. Willis, The English Origins of Henry Willis of Westbury, Long Island, pages 68 - St. Denys Church Marriage Records: ...Three notes of interest should be mentioned. First, the surname of Peace is seldom found in the parish registersof St Denys. Warninster, though Pearce, Pearse, Pierce and other variations are. ...Thirdly, the St Denys parish registers include persons from the adjacent communities of Norton Bavant, Upton Scudamore, Bishopstrow and Westbury. This raises the possiblity that Henry Willis' home before marriage may have been Westbury, giving some credence to the claim that he named Westbury, Long Island for his prior home.
