I am looking for the family of Thomas Lewis and Jane Chambers married 17 July 1834 I
Hamilton County OH. Their Marriage record is in Hamilton County OH Restored Marriages Vol
4A p345. I am looking for a Thomas Lewis b.1838 OH who was the son of a Thomas Lewis and
lived in 1870 - 1880 in Bartholomew Co., IN and d.1906 in Jackson Co., IN and buried in
Friends Cemetery in Jackson Twsp, Jackson Co IN. Thomas Lewis Jr married Martha A Knott
13 July 1860 in Clermont Co., OH before moving to Bartholomew County IN in the 1860's.
I speculate Thomas Lewis was born 1813 or earlier and Jane Chambers was born 1816 or
earlier.
There were 2 Thomas Lewis's who married in 1834 in Hamilton Co OH, the first being
Thomas Jefferson Lewis who married Priscilla Rudel 23 Jan 1834. This Lewis family is very
easy to follow to IL in 1850 and IA in 1860 so the son Squire Thomas Lewis b.1838 is not
the Thomas I seek and it is very likely that the Thomas b.1838 OH is the son of Thomas
Lewis and Jane Chambers. But I can find none of the 3 (Thomas, Jane nor Thomas Jr) in the
1850 nor 1860 Census in or near Hamilton Co., OH nor can I find Thomas Lewis in 1840
Census.
