"The Willis Family of Virginia" (1898) by Byrd Charles Willis and Richard Henry Willis, p. 55-56, gives her name as Jane Madison Willis, as do:
The Washingtons: A Family History, Volume 1: Seven Generations of the Presidential Branch (2014), By Justin Glenn, p. 2010.
Turley Family Records (1981) by Beth Mitchell, p.323.
The Willises of Virginia (1964) by Maud Potter, p.81.
The Williams Family of S.C. and Mississippi (1954) by John Ben Perry Jr., p.8: "John Williams...married first Jane Madison Willis, the daughter of John Whitaker Willis and his wife the widow Boykin (nee Starke) from South Carolina. According to the Willis Family genealogy, the Willises are related to James Madison, former president of the United States, hence the name Jane Madison Willis."
The 1850 census and the marriage record both appear to show her name as Jane W Willis, but possibly the written M resembled a W.
Married 23 Mar 1854 in Yalobusha County, Miss.
Her brother Preston Calhoun Willis married John Williams' first cousin, Mary Mayhew Ingram.
There were a number of other marriages between the Williams, Perry, and Willis families.
John Ben Perry did not locate markers for John Williams and Jane Madison Willis Williams in 1953-54. Elizabeth Bell Cook and Nora Williams Gibson both thought they were in the Willis Grove plantation cemetery where their infants were buried, although there were also unmarked or unreadable graves in the Williams family cemetery.
ref.: Will of J.W. Willis, in Coffeyville C.H., Will Bk. A, p. 3, dated 9/7/1836.
TYLER, "Willis," WMCQ 6 (1898), p. 209.
