John Willis of Lincoln A descendant of an ancient family of the same name That resided formerly at Fenny Compton in Warwickshire He studied at Oxford; was Fellow and sometime Vice-Principal of Brazen Nose College: Where in obedience to his father, he entered into holy orders. But pursuing the bent of his natural taste and inclination he took the degree of Doctor of Physic in the same University and continued the practice of the profession to the last hour of his life. By his first wife Mary, the youngest daughter of the Revd. John Curtois of Branston in this County, he had five sons who survived him. By his second wife he had no issue. Initiated early into habits of observation and research, he attained the highest eminence in his profession and was happily the chief agent in removing the malady which affected his present majesty in the year 1789. On that occasion he displayed an energy and acuteness of mind which excited the admiration and procured for him the esteem of the Nation. The kindness and benevolence of his disposition were testified by the tears and lamentations which followed him to the grave. |
