FACTS and EVENTS:

William Hollis was the son of John Hollis Sr and Esther Canterbury.

On May 29, 1754, William Hollis received payment as a private for service in the Virginia Regiment during the French and Indian War.

In April 24, 1758, John Hollis Sr leased land from Henry Fitzhugh in Fairfax County, Virginia.   The lease specified that the lease “was for the longest life of John, son William or son Burr.

John, Jr., William, and Burrell must have continued living in Fairfax, because the Pohick Anglican Church records and the Fairfax militia records document their presence through the French and Indian War of the 1750’s. There is no evidence that these three brothers ever left Fairfax County, Virginia.
